These things I know: Coming soon to South
Pre-orders this week are led by David Sylvian, who returns with his first album in 15 years. The Distance Between The Killer And The Killing is a 46-minute instrumental work featuring contributions from Ryuichi Sakamoto, Otomo Yoshihide and others, available on black vinyl or a deluxe marble vinyl edition.
There's a 30th anniversary pressing of Eels' Beautiful Freak on splatter vinyl, while Sebadoh's Harmacy also celebrates 30 years with an expanded double LP featuring 16 bonus tracks. Elsewhere, Mohinder Kaur Bhamra's Punjabi Disco, a remarkable and almost completely forgotten 1982 recording combining Punjabi folk with synthesised disco, returns as an expanded double LP. And Julian Cope's Trip Advizer brings together three decades of his post-major-label recordings, available on vinyl for the first time as a deluxe triple LP.

Kraftwerk's third album, released in 1973, and the last before they settled on the electronic sound that would make them famous. Ralf & Florian is a fascinating record, bridging the gap between their earlier experimental krautrock and the more melodic, synthesiser-led music of Autobahn. There's still plenty of flute, guitar and percussion alongside the electronics, but you can hear the beginnings of what was to come. Often overlooked in favour of their later records, it's one of the most interesting albums in their catalogue, and well worth exploring if you've only heard the better-known material. UK first pressing right here.
