OMO- The White Album. A rather cheekily titled but wonderful piece of post punk art school electronica. With guitars. Sardonic spoken female vocals make this sound somewhat like a 21st Century Flying Lizards.

Gliss- Devotion Implosion. Derivative but listenable post-Mary Chain alt rock. Kinda Raveonettes meets Garbage, or to be really unkind, BRMC meets Sheryl Crow. Actually better when it stops trying to be grungy and gives in to its shiny pop instincts. Playing in the background at a GAP near you, probably.

The Hidden Cameras- Origin: Orphan. A band I've never really investigated before, but their fourth album is a winner! Eclectic, psychedelic dancey post-everything indie rock. Marvellous.

A Place To Bury Strangers- Exploding Head. The Strangers come up trumps on their much-anticipated (round here, anyway) second LP. Business as usual- still on a My Bloody Sisters of Mary Chain tip- but with a bit more texture, light and shade. Excellent stuff.

Stephen Duffy and The Lilac Time- Memory and Desire. Pleasant 2CD retrospective of fey folk-pop ditherings.

The Byrds- Ballad of Easy Rider.
The Pixies- Bossanova.
The Pixies- Tromp Le Monde.
The Teardrop Explodes- Wilder.
Killing Joke- Revelations.
The Monkees- Head.
Mike Heron- Smiling Men With Bad Reputations.
Durutti Column- Keep Breathing.
LCD Soundsystem- The Sound of Silver.
Various artists- Africa Rising.
The Television Personalities- Privilege.
