Earlier this month, Mongolian folk metal horde The HU achieved something their most famous ancestor, Genghis Khan, could never have imagined, by not only once again sweeping triumphantly into the heart of the UK but also into the inner sanctum of one of its most heavily guarded landmarks – the home of King Charlie himself.

Emerson, Lake & Palmer ‘Works Live’ (BMG)

,

Back in 1977 the punk revolution was in full swing, railing against the opulence, excess and self-indulgence of the rock superstars of the day, especially the progressive rock ones. So what were archenemies Emerson, Lake & Palmer doing at the time? A world tour with a full 70-piece orchestra and a choir, that’s what. That tour is captured on ‘Works Live’, a 1977 recording culled mainly from the Montreal Olympic Stadium performance, which now gets an updated and remastered release.

Parker Barrow’s sophomore album, ‘Hold The Mash’, is a louder, dirtier and more assured statement than many bands manage on a second pass, with Megan Kane’s voice tearing through the mix like a headliner who knows the room is hers.

Fabienne Delsol ‘Indigo Red’ (Damaged Goods)

,

You may be more familiar with Fabienne Delsol than you think. ‘I’m Gonna Haunt You’, a track from her 2004 debut album ‘No Time for Sorrows’ soundtracked a pivotal scene in the second series of the hit BBC black-thriller ‘Killing Eve’, which was a very suitable fit. With a love for fuzz guitars, psychedelia, French pop and exotic soundtracks, Fabienne Delsol imbues a coolness of ‘60s styling and has now arrived with album number five in the shape of ‘Indigo Red’.
