This week starts out with a track from Gareth Williams' post-This Heat collaboration, Flaming Tunes, a clattery slice of avant-catchiness that proves that Charles Hayward wasn't the only member of Heat to be able to skew pop music. Lost Sounds features the late, great Jay Reatard on guitar, and Marc Almond sings lead on Coil's take on Soft Cell's take on Gloria Jones' seminal soul slice 'Tainted Love'. Coil slows Soft Cell's dancefloor beat down to a dirge, and it's amazing that a simple tempo change makes it's goofy sexy lyrics much more uncomfortable and disturbing. Red River Dialect is a new find; delicate acoustic guitars, slight psychedelic shading, and wistful vocals brings to mind the British Folk Revival I have such love for, without the overt hippie trappings that the 'Freak Folk' banner hoisted upon the scene in recent years.
