Lend Me Your First Week

Another week's listening: from the post-punk/synth pop interface of Talking Drums & Linear Movement to the majesty of Don Cherry/Johnny Dyani & Coltrane, with intermediary stops including Bill Nelson, State of Art, Astrud Gilberto, Bessie Jones, Eagles Lupopo '77, Afro 70, The Smile, Seven Davis/John Cale (somewhat improbably), Lloyd Cole/Mogwai (at least equally improbably...), Paul Haig & Abdullah Ibrahim.

Some tracks (Bandcamp where possible; YT if not...):
