Heavy Medicine Band! Aluk Todolo!

Starting with a brand new release from Ottawa's own Heavy Medicine Band on Record Centre Records, and finishing with an album feature on the latest LP from France's Noise/Kraut band, Aluk Todolo - The Nightwatch is back in form!
After seeing the fantastic in-store performance by Ottawa's own Heavy Medicine Band at the Record Centre, I came away with the newest release (on vinyl, no less!), and am pleased to bring it to you!
The Moon and Me

Trailing

Staying heavy and (fairly) current, we plunge headlong into the middle-section of the Nightwatch, continuing with a neo-zeuhl band from the US, no less!
Vulture of the Horn
Ga'an - S/T
Cantre of the Sun
Eye - Centre of the Sun
One long track from Ohio's Eye (and their 2012 release) deserves another... two!
Usurpers
Eye - Centre of the Sun
Restorers
Eye - Centre of the Sun
Born to be Alone on a White Desert Island
Lagger Blues Machine - Tanit
Finishing with something from Belgium from the early 70's, we come back to Ottawa in the early 00's!
Downside Up
Nero - Zedonk Canadian
Total Eclipse
Brian Auger's Oblivion Express - S/T
7th Arrow
Weather Report - S/T
Waterfall
Weather Report - S/T
Hitting a classic jazz-rock touchstone with a little Weather Report and their stunning 1st LP, we some back to the present, and Sweden't Utopianisti, to move back towards something a bit heavier...
Pohjola
Utopianisti - II
Talk Back Fatherland
TBWNIAS - ...vs. the Purveyors of Conspicuous Authenticity Canadian
The Fall of Saigon
This Heat - This Is One
After getting back into a post/kraut-rock-y feel, we come to the latest release ('Voix') from France's Aluk Todolo. One reviewer write: "43 minutes of ominous noise rock, Skullflower meets with Amon Düül II for a jam in hell." If we're going into the 'So-and-so'-meets-'So-and-so' references, I weigh in with: 'Guapo-meets-Bailter Space'...
