Various Artists - el Records: The Legendary b-sides. The musical equivalent of Quentin Crisp. Awesome upmarket pop.
The Watersons - Bright Phoebus. I'm starting to think the more traditional sounding folk like this sounds even more haunting and "out there" than the more explicit psyche-folk. Not a million miles from Mr. Fox and Dave & Toni Arthur's Hearken to the Witches Rune. Featuring the ever-present dual-guitars of Richard Thompson and Martin Carthy. The Scarecrow
Hugo Montenegro - Moog Power
Alastair Galbraith - Morse and Gaudylight
Various Artists - Psychedelic Jazz: The Best Mindblowing Spaced-Out Jazz Grooves
Family Fodder - Savoir Faire - Best Of
Dom Thomas - The Exploding Disco Inevitable
John Cale - Extra Playful
Alfred Schnittke - Choir Concerto. Was expecting this to be all clipped and abstract, like. Was actually quite heavenly.
Thinking Fellers Union Local 282 - Strangers From the Universe
The Raincoats - S/T. Still as fun as the first time I played it.
The Raveonettes - Raven in the Grave.
Enrico Caruso - 21 Favourite Arias. The guy playing on the ship in Fitzcarraldo as it wildly careens down the ravines. Really beautiful voice.
Momus - Thunderclown
Datblygu - Peel Sessions. The Welsh Fall. Once entered the Eurovision Song Contest apparently.
Robbie Basho - The Falconers Arm I/II. I could listen to him all day. Best "American Primitivist" out there.
