The first of our recommended releases this week comes from The Smashing Pumpkins<\/strong>. 4 years after Monuments To An Elegy<\/em>, Billy Corgan has gathered together three quarters of the original line-up and Shiny And Oh So Bright<\/em><\/strong> is the exciting and fascinating result.<\/p>\n

Mumford & Sons<\/strong> release their fourth album, Delta<\/em><\/strong>, which features a return of the traditional instruments of their first two albums, but this time fed through a number of different effects so that they have become unrecognisable. The result is innovative and experimental but always highly listenable.<\/p>\n

Mark Knopfler<\/strong>\u2019s new album, Down The Road Wherever<\/em><\/strong>, features 14 unhurriedly elegant Knopfler compositions inspired by a wide range of subjects from his own early days in Deptford to the compulsion of a musician hitch-hiking on a snowy night. Knopfler himself describes the sound as \u201cthe Delta meets the Tyne<\/em>\u201d. Certainly his deft, richly melodic guitar playing is as front and centre as ever.<\/p>\n

Never one to do things normally, Jean-Michel Jarre<\/strong> releases a new album barely a month after a career-spanning anthology. Equinoxe Infinity<\/em><\/strong> returns us after 40 years to one of his best-loved compositions. This concept album will not be a direct follow-up to the 1978 masterpiece, but rather a meditation about the watchers (the characters with binoculars) as being part of the struggle (or not) between human and artificial intelligence. Jarre describes this album as \u201cEquinoxe on steroids<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t normally recommend reissues in this newsletter, however Kate Bush<\/strong> is different, very different. Her entire catalogue is being reissued in remastered form on both CD and vinyl. 16th November brings us The Kick Inside<\/em>, Lionheart<\/em>, Never For Ever<\/em>, The Dreaming<\/em>, Hounds Of Love<\/em>, The Sensual World<\/em> and The Red Shoes<\/em>, with her remaining albums being reissued on 30th November. It\u2019s hard to think of a more perfect run of singer-songwriter albums. Suffice to say these are all essential.<\/p>\n

Merrie Land<\/em><\/strong> is the second album from The Good, The Bad & The Queen<\/strong>, a supergroup comprising Damon Albarn, Paul Simonon, Tony Allen and Simon Tong. The 4 musical storytellers are back after a decade with a questioning goodbye letter, a series of observations and reflections on Britishness in 2018. The timing could not be more apt, and there could not be a more perfect band to untangle the optimism, disorientation and confusion in the atmosphere today.<\/p>\n
