Blonde Redhead - In An Expression of the Inexpressible


year:98 - : Blonde Redhead, who sometimes are too clever for their own good, could, in fact, learn a great deal from Sonic Youth, since most of the tracks never come across with much urgency.

Editors - An End has a Start


Genre
Indie Rock


year: 07 - review: Neo-post-punk quartet the Editors formed in 2003. Originally dubbed Snowfield, the group comprised singer/guitarist Tom Smith, lead guitarist Chris Urbanowicz, bassist Russell Leetch, and drummer Ed Lay, all music technology students at Britain's Stafford University who relocated to Birmingham after graduation.

Maximo Park - Our Earthly Pleasures


year: 07 - review: Ultimately, Maximo Park have bravely taken a chance with this album, trying to experiment with their sound rather than settling for what had previously brought them success. Shame they weren't up to the task.

Monotract - Trueno Oscuro


Genre
Experimental
Avant Garde


year: 07 - review: The noise quotient is outweighed only by the bliss quotient, with Nancy Garcia's abstract vocals and the warm crunch of guitars and synths providing a little of both.

Black box recorder - England Made Me

Genre
rock brit indie


year: 99 - review: The vocals remind me of another Sarah - Sarah Cracknell from Saint Etienne, a very differing Britpop group. The sound and production on this album never fail to impress me. This US version of the album also contains some great bonus tracks like "Lord Lucan is Missing" and "Factory Radio". Total musts!!! Haines is a real lyrical artist. His earlier work with the Auteurs and Baader Meinhoff have only cemented his reputation in acerbic wit and venom.

Porcupine Tree - Fear Of A Dead Planet


year: 2007 - review: New album has a different mood, it is much more depressive. Very interesting concept. Again - heavy sound (yesssss!). Arrangements and performance is awesome (as usual). Porcupine Tree are overwriting the history of music with every new album. You won't regret. I can guarantee you. Regards.

XTC - Nonsuch

Genre
College Rock
Adult alternative Pop Rock


year: 92 - review: While it lacks the thematic unity of Skylarking, as well as the grandstanding eclecticism of Oranges & Lemons, Nonsuch is in many ways more musically consistent, presenting a set of 17 wonderfully detailed and immediately catchy pop songs, ranging from the relatively rocking "The Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead" to the sweet "Holly up on Poppy." Occasionally, the album dips slightly lyrically -- Colin Moulding's "The Smartest Monkeys" and "War Dance" are a little too preachy -- but never musically, making Nonsuch a modest, minor masterpiece.

Supertramp: Anthology

Genre
Prog-Art Rock
Album Rock
Dramatic


70 - 00 - info: Once upon a time in 1969, a young Dutch millionaire by the name of Stanley August Miesegaes gave his acquaintance, vocalist and keyboardist Rick Davies a "genuine opportunity" to form his own band; he could form the band of his dreams and Miesegaes would pay for it. After placing an ad in Melody Maker, Davies assembled Supertramp. Supertramp released two long-winded progressive rock albums before Miesegaes withdrew his support. With no money or fan base to speak of, the band was forced to redesign their sound. Coming up with a more pop-oriented form of progressive rock, the band had a hit with their third album, Crime of the Century.

John Doe - A Year In The Wilderness


Genre
Roots Rock
Country Rock


year: 2007 - info: Meet John Doe was recorded during a hiatus in X's career. Following the release of the 1988 live album Live at the Whisky a Go-Go the band temporarily parted ways.

Wilco - Sky Blue Sky


year: 2007 : Sky Blue Sky may find Wilco dipping their toes into roots rock again, but this doesn't feel like a step back so much as another fresh path for one of America's most consistently interesting bands.

George Jones - The Grand Tour


Genre
Country Pop
Honky Tonk
Countrypolitan


year: 74 - review: Chet Atkins and all of his countrypolitan productions never had anything on Sherrill, and with the greatest singer in the music's history as part of the team, combined with a collection of absolutely staggering songs (only I Am What I Am rivals it), this is one of the finest country records of the '70s and perhaps in the top 100 of all time.

Maps - We Can Create


Genre
Indie electronic


year: 07 - info: Released by Mute in mid-2007, Maps' debut full-length album, We Can Create, was co-produced by Valgeir Sigurosson (Björk) and mixed by Ken Thomas (Sigur Rós).
