A five piece band with a taste for 60s beat music, they record two fine long-players before calling it a day to because of family commitments. In November 2014, Christophe formed Le Super Homard with his brother Olivier and Pandora Burgess. Their brand of electronic pop resonates with classic French pop references including those of spiritual fathers of the electro-pop genre, Stereolab and Medhi Zannad, author of a French pop masterpiece, Fugu 1. This is going to go down well with fans of Stereolab, Gruff Rhys and Broadcast. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DODOLP 16 TIT NA NOG LIVE AT THE HALF MOON LP 03.2016 DODOCD 16 TIT NA NOG LIVE AT THE HALF MOON CD 03.2016 1 Time Is Like A Promise 2 You In Yellow 3 Looking Up 4 Ricochet 5 I Pick Up Birds At Funerals 6 I Have Known Love 7 Eyelids Into Snow 8 The Lady I Love 9 Free Ride 10 Two White Horses In 2015 this legendary Irish duo released its first new studio album in 42 years, 'The Dark Dance', which was launched at the equally legendary music venue, the Half Moon in Putney. The performance mixed Tir na nOg classics with songs from this album. Tir na nOg has been described as alt folk, prog folk, psych folk and even space folk, but the duo, formed by Leo O'Kelly and Sonny Condell in 1970, transcends all these categories. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DODOLP 17 ICARUS PEEL : FORGET-ME-NOT UNDER PUSSY WILLOW LP 10.2016 Side 1: 1 Introduction 2 Forget-Me-Not 3 Job Shiver 4 Planting People 5 It's Raining 6 We Came, We Saw 6 Something I Should Say Side 2: 1 Catch Your Breath 2 Melody May 3 Intimidation 4 Just Deserts 5 Here's The News 6 Endings Happily Icarus Peel is the leader of The Honey Pots, but he has a busy little sideline in solo albums, of which Forget-Me-Not Under Pussy Willow is the fourth. It sounds as old-tyme English as the sleeve art looks, with an eccentric darkness that feels like a twingle in Peel’s eye. 180g vinyl LP release on the Mega Dodo label, limited to 250 copies. www.normanrecords.com --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DODOCD 18 MORDECAI SMYTH : THE MAYOR OF TOYTOWN IS DEAD CD 11.2017 1 Billywitch 2 River Of Sleep 3 Far From The Crowd 4 Heading Back West 5 Golf Girl 6 A Knife And A Key 7 Happy 8 Stay With The Pulse 9 Dissent Into Chaos Mordecai Smyth’s debut album ‘Sticky Tape and Rust’ was the very first release on the Mega Dodo label. Since then he has been toiling on something rather different. But what, exactly? Well, the wait is over...and it is my unfortunate duty to inform you that The Mayor of Toytown is Dead. But this is no cause for sadness: Mordecai is still very much with us, although the short, sharp numbers of those Sticky Tape days have gone. They're longer now but still with hooks aplenty - accessible and challenging in the best tradition of progressive rock. Mordecai prefers it to be known as "regressive rock." He's also called upon the assistance of a wide pool of talents. Among them is Dave Lambert (Strawbs, The Fire) who contributes lead guitar to the album's opening and closing tracks. https://www.normanrecords.com/records/167732 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DODOCD 19 THE INSEKTLIFE CYCLE VIVID DREAMS PARADE CD .2017 1 Unicycle Monologue 5:27 2 Electric Sadness 4:47 3 Schizodelia 6:43 4 Purple Drank 7:18 5 Insekt Circus 5:26 6 Forbidden Earth Dance 4:35 7 Tristful Ecstasy 4:52 8 Dreams Unrecalled 6:17 9 Sleepcrawler 4:05 10 Sungaze 5:33 11 Neonderthal 5:51 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DODOLP 20 THE ORANGE DROP STONED IN LOVE LP 11.2016 DODOCD 20 THE ORANGE DROP STONED IN LOVE CD 11.2016 A1 Juniper Pearl 03:42 A2 The Curse of Kukaku 07:48 A3 Make It Her, Forever 06:28 A4 Julia Dream 03:19 B1 Substance D 01:14 B2 J'admets 03:47 B3 Hey Man 03:03 B4 Pt II 02:17 B5 If You Feel It 03:43 Hailing from Philadelphia, The Orange Drop blends dreamy psychedelia with some darker, acid-laced sounds of the '60s. Brian Jonestown Massacre fans (particularly of the early records) should appreciate The Orange Drop's approach that is both lo-fi and polished. If this is garage rock, it was made in a garage that conceals an amateur LSD lab. Orange Drop re-invents '60s psychedelia with a 21st century twist of experimentalism! Orange vinyl. http://www.shinybeast.nl/public/newsletters/20161102_376120_4rn1d1ltk.html --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DODOLP 21 MARK & THE CLOUDS CUMULUS LP 03.2017 DODOCD 21 MARK & THE CLOUDS CUMULUS CD 03.2017 1.

Evil Fairies Mark and The Clouds is a London based band playing a blend of timeless and powerful pop. Evolving from Instant Flight, a band so cool they persuaded the legendary Arthur Brown to sing on their debut album Colours & Lights, Mark & The Clouds is fronted by vocalist and songwriter Marco Magnani. This is Mark and The Clouds difficult second album. Although there’s nothing difficult about it. Like their debut, it’s full of intoxicating bright, jangly pop and rock with more hooks than an angler’s bait box. Think Kinks, Jam and the best power pop imaginable and that’s Mark & The Clouds. https://www.normanrecords.com/records/163321-mark-the-clouds-cumulus? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DODOCD 22 RICHARD BONE AGE OF FALCONRY CD 07.2017 1 Queensberry Wilde 5:22 2 Let Us Prey 4:36 3 A Shooting Star Was I 5:25 4 Urgent Curious 5:00 5 Mabuhay! 5:00 6 Banyan Days 6:28 7 Damfino 7:05 8 Winged Persia 6:24 9 Apotheosis 6:54 After initially working in his own band, Bone, and new wavers Shox Lumania in the late 70s and 80s Richard Bone set up Quirkworks Laboratory Discs and went solo to experiment with ambient electronica meeting jazz and lounge.

It's a gorgeous work of rich psychedelic textures and lighter acid-folk melodies, mixing both with ease to deliver a sensual blend of textures and sonic landscapes that lead to an immersive sonic experience. Her haunting vocals, combined with the song writing skills of producer Icarus Peel, once again produce one of those albums that you hear for the first time, then play again, and again, and before you know it an entire day has gone by. And you've still not heard it enough. Limited to 250 sets. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DODOLP 24 GREEN SEAGULL SCARLET FEVER LP 03.2018 DODOLP 24 GREEN SEAGULL SCARLET FEVER CD 03.2018 1 Not Like You And Me 2 Scarlet 3 Dogsbody 4 Remember The Time 5 (I Used To Dream In) Black And White 6 What Happened To The Girls? 7 They Just Don't Know 8 I Live And I Let Live 9 After All This Time 10 Shrubbery Road 11 Unseen Eyes 12 Scraggly Old Tramp 13 Lay My Head 14 Girls Are Coming Into Town Debut album by the England's Green Seagull. Taking their name from a mis-heard Rolling Stones lyric, Green Seagull are the latest band to burst out of London's burgeoning neo-psych scene. Their harmony-laden baroque/freakbeat sound draws upon influences such as The Left Banke, The Kinks, and The Association. www.shinybeast.nl --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DODOLP 25 TIR NA NOG THE DARK DANCE LP 08.2017 (Note : LP , black vinyl) DODOLP 25 TIR NA NOG THE DARK DANCE LP 08.2017 (Note : LP , silver vinyl) DODOCD 25 TIR NA NOG THE DARK DANCE CD 08.2017 1 You In Yellow 3:05 2 I Have Known Love 4:24 3 The Angelus 4:26 4 I Pick Up Birds At Funerals 2:14 5 Ricochet 4:49 6 Andria 3:41 7 Sympathetic Love 4:21 8 The Gangway 3:44 9 Time Is Gone 2:55 10 The Dark Dance 3:12 It took Sonny and Leo of Tir na nOg 42 years to record the follow up to their 1973 album 'Strong In The Sun'. But it was worth the wait. When 'The Dark Dance' was released in 2015 it was hailed as a triumphant return. Prog Magazine called it "an acoustically mounted piece of great refinement, on a record often embellished by strings and moments of eastern promise". Now 'The Dark Dance' appears on vinyl for the first time. www.shinybeast.nl --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DODOLP 26 ALISON O'DONNELL : CLIMB SHEER THE FIELDS OF PLACE LP 07.2017 (Note : LP , 300 copies) DODOCD 26 ALISON O'DONNELL : CLIMB SHEER THE FIELDS OF PLACE CD 07.2017 Side 1 1 Sylvia’s Deadbolt (2.51) 2 Green of Heart (4.17) 3 In the Snowmelt (4.32) 4 Hunting Down (3.48) 5 The Road We Know (2.01) 6 Swans They Are A-Feeding (4.17) Side 2 1 Pathways (3.49) 2 Memorial (4.57) 3 Redbreast in a Rowan Tree (1.50) 4 Sleeping on Strange Pillows (4.05) 5 An Empire in its Glory (4.20) 6 The Pull and Drag Blues (4.48) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DODOLP 27 TOBY TWIRL TOBY TWIRL LP (m) 10.2017 DODOCD 27 TOBY TWIRL TOBY TWIRL CD 10.2017 A1 Baby What Good Is Love A2 Dark Time Of The Year A3 Something In Your Eyes A4 Love Is Love A5 Baby You’re A Rich Man A6 Movin’ In B1 Born To Be Wild B2 Marjorine B3 Something B4 When Will I Be Loved B5 Gonna Have A Good Time (Good Times) B6 American Woman CD + Extended Play 13 Let's Spend The Night Together 2:21 14 Hollies Medley 2:19 15 Toffee Apple Sunday 2:03 Originally from Newcastle, England, Toby Twirl was founded in 1968 and recorded three classic, and now highly collectable, singles for Decca in the late 1960s. This long overdue debut album mixes original songs with a selection of carefully curated hits of the day. The recordings were discovered by the band's drummer, John Reed, in a dusty box of reel-to-reel tapes in his attic. The band made several demo and showcase recordings at various studios in the late '60s, but they were thought lost forever. Reed's chance discovery uncovered a veritable goldmine of late '60s recordings by both line-ups of the band. Part 1 of the CD features vocalist Dave 'Holly' Holland, while part 2 features vocalist Steve Pickering. www.shinybeast.nl --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DODLP 28 STAR SPONGE VISION CROWLEY AND ME LP 04.2018 (Note : LP , 300 copies) DODCD 28 STAR SPONGE VISION CROWLEY AND ME CD 04.2018 01.

Together they have recorded a concept album about Aleister Crowley. Yes, that Aleister Crowley, the Great Beast! It all starts in 1974. John Povey is sitting with Jimmy Page in the Hyatt hotel on Sunset Blvd watching a film by Kenneth Anger "Scorpio Rising". Listening to Jimmy's music they talk about many things, including his interest in one Aleister Crowley! The seed is sown. Fast forward to 2016. Jon Povey is working with Twink on his "Technicolor Dream" music, adding keyboards and vocals. Twink says "Ever thought about looking into Crowley poetry and writing music to it?" Another seed drops into Poveys mind. Sometime later he purchased several books about this strange and complicated man, Aleister Crowley which inspired him to write the album Crowley and Me. www.shinybeast.nl --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DODOLP 29 US AND THEM ON SHIPLESS OCEAN LP 06.2018 DODOCD 29 US AND THEM ON SHIPLESS OCEAN CD 06.2018 1 The trees and the sky above 2:37 2 From the corner of my eye 4:46 3 A new life 4:11 4 Lady Rachel 10:00 5 Changes and choices 4:54 6 People like us 3:55 7 People like us 3:22 8 Extract from the 17th of November 1:20 9 Tail 9:37 10 She is not me 4:03 11 We are not alone 3:04 On Shipless Ocean is the second record from pysch-rock band Us and Them.

A rich, dark and sometimes mystical brew of modern psychedelic sounds, 'Victorian Wonders' is a sensitive and melancholic record that, like its predecessors, draws on the spirits of Syd Barrett and early Floyd for inspiration. It is, in parts, dissonant and eerie, and in others whimsical and diaphanous. It's a luscious experience, a trippin' musical creature, where each note is a short journey to unimaginable places in our minds. www.shinybeast.nl --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DODOLP 32 GREEN SEAGUL CLOUD COVER LP 07.2020 DODOCD 32 GREEN SEAGUL CLOUD COVER CD 07.2020 1 Aerosol 2 Made To Be Loved 3 In The Morning Time 4 Little Lady (In The Amplifier) 5 Live In Lover 6 This Wheel 7 Dead And Gone 8 Paper Cut 9 Dream You're Living 10 It's Too Late 11 Simeon Brown 12 Belladonna "Cloud Cover" sees Green Seagull develop their fascination for melodic sixties pop and combine it with glorious vocal harmonies to create a mellow Stateside vibe filtered through early '70s UK acts like Brinsley Schwarz and Danny Kirwan-era Fleetwood Mac. Their shared enthusiasm for late '60s baroque psychedelia and 12-string jangle has blossomed into a prolific songwriting team that now includes contributions from their keyboardist Sarah Gonputh.

'Bewildered' Jane is their forth long-player, fifth if you include their recent compilation of rarities, and their third for Mega Dodo. Confused? Or should that be bewildered? Produced by founding member Icarus Peel, 'Bewildered Jane' sees The Honey Pot sound maturing. It's richer and deeper, the harmonies lusher and the sound that little bit fuller. It's as if the band has made a collective decision to ditch milk chocolate for a 100% cocoa dark variety. 'Bewildered Jane' may be a tad darker than their previous long-players, but its core remains resolutely familiar. Limited to 300 copies. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DODOLP 034 SKELETON GOODE SKELETON GOODE LP 11.2019 DODOCD 034 SKELETON GOODE SKELETON GOODE CD 11.2019 Side One 1 Enamel Animal 2:03 2 Ask Tomorrow 3:49 3 Razors in the Clay 4:58 4 Stare of the Stranger 4:44 5 Leaf Green Gamma Girlz 3:54 Side Two 6 James Dean 3:56 7 Never Going Back Home 4:26 8 Someone's Coming 5:09 9 Morning Sun 3:35 10 When The Dragon Flies Low 3:37 Sai Gon based artist Skeleton Goode is the nom de plume of Jack Briggs - an English guitarist and songwriter.

While the album may offer something familiar and dependable, it's another step forward in a musical journey that started some years ago. For this album, Jacqueline is joined by new backing singers Victoria Reyes and Elaine Lightfoot. Victoria also plays exquisite oboe and Lizzy Wayne, who's also played with the Honey Pot, adds flute. Both players and instruments add new colours to a rich pastoral sonic palette. Jacqueline and her band lay down a deep-pile carpet to walk on, a perfectly heated pool to swim in, an adequately logged fireplace to lie in front of. It's a musical gift to the world and a prayer for the birds. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DODOLP 036 MORDECAI SMYTH:THINGS ARE GETTING STRANGER ON THE SHORE LP 05.2022 DODOCD 036 MORDECAI SMYTH:THINGS ARE GETTING STRANGER ON THE SHORE CD 05.2022 Deep in the Berkshire suburbia lives a man named Mordecai Smyth. He was the first artist to sign to the independent record label Mega Dodo back in 2011. That year saw the release of the pop-psych album, 'Sticky Tape And Rust' and the single "Georgina Jones." In 2017, Mordecai released a more progressive sounding album, "The Mayor Of Toytown Is Dead" to critical acclaim: it was voted "album of the year" in the American Goldmine magazine's "Spin Cycle" section by Dave Thompson. 2022 sees the release of his third album, 'Things Are Getting Stranger On The Shore. This album builds on the previous one, giving a progressive, and art rock feel, whilst skirting around alternative rock/pop genres. Imagine Van Der Graaf Generator on quaaludes and you're part of the way there. As with 'Toytown' which featured special guest Dave Lambert from the Strawbs 'Shore' features guest appearances by Jon Camp, formerly of Renaissance, Icarus Peel and Crystal Jacqueline. LImited to 250 copies. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ======================================================================================= MEP 1 MORDECAI SMYTH DIAL M FOR MORDECAI 7" 04.2013 A1 Dream On (Marnie) A2 Psychedelic Sarah B1 Dark Haired Douglas B2 Trapped (Note : 7" , 250 copies on red vinyl) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MEP 2 THE GREEN QUASTION MARK : PEGASUS EP 7"+DLc .2013 A1 She's A Rainbow A2 Lucy Leave B1 Pegasus B2 Elevator (Note : 7" , 250 numb. copies on green viny) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MEP 3 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MEP 4 BIG GRUNT IN SESSION 12" 09.2016 01.

The fact that they lived in the same city is purely a coincidence however. Their music lives entirely on the internet and now on vinyl. They don't jam, they don't play live and mostly use virtual instruments, and their collaboration is centered around e-mail. As the name 62 Miles From Space suggests, their music doesn't correspond to a particular time or place of creation. www.shinybeast.nl ======================================================================================= MEGA 1 STRANGE TURN PINK LITMUS PAPER SHIRT 7" 04.2014 A Pink Litmus Paper Shirt 5:13 B Elevator Operator 2:40 (Note : 7" , pink vinyl) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MEGA 2 THE HONEY POT LISA DREAMS 7" 01.2016 (Note : 7" , 150 copies) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MEGA 3 MORDECAI SMYTH GEORGINA JONES 7" .2011 A1 Georgina Jones B1 It Didn't Happen (Note : 7" , red+black splatter vinyl) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MEGA 4 OCTOPUS SYNG : REVERBERATING GARDEN NUMBER 7 7" 05.2016 A Reverberating Garden Number 7 B Flaming (Note : 7"/150 g. , 150 numb. copies on black vinyl) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MEGA 5 US AND THEN WHEN I WAS WALKING 7" 11.2016 Side 1 When I Was Walking Side 2 Green Couch (Note : 7"/150 g. , 150 numb. copies on black vinyl) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MEGA 6 LUCK OF EDEN HALL THE END OF THE LANE 7" 08.2016 A The End Of The Lane B Blown To Kingdom Come --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MEGA 8 ALISON O'DONNELL THE ROAD WE KNOW 7" 01.2018 (Note : 7" , 250 copies) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MEGA 16 GREEN SEAGULL : (I USED TO DREAM IN) BLACK AND WHITE 7" 10.2017 A (I Used To Dream In) Black And White B Not Like You And Me 60s baroque psychedelia and 12-string jangle.

But the duo, formed by Leo O'Kelly and Sonny Condell in 1970, transcends all these categories. What is not in doubt is that they are two of the most original and influential songwriters and performers Ireland has ever produced. Tir na nOg's 'Live 1970-'71' features Sonny and Leo performing some of their best loved songs before audiences and live in the studio. Beside featuring their original composition, 'Live 1970-'71' features perfectly curated cover versions such as Joni Mitchell's 'Woodstock' and Bob Dylan's 'Maggies Farm' available on album for the first time. 'Live 1970-'71' has been licenced from Tir na nOg and remastered for compact disc. ======================================================================================= all notes taken from: www.shinybeast.nl
