|

|

|
 | Sub Templum by Moss
Buy new: £10.98 / Used from: £10.72 So slow, so heavy, so doom-laden, so great.
|
 | The Flax of Reverie by Mothlite
Buy new: £10.98 Hypnotic avant-rock of the highest order. The most unique album you're likely to hear in 2008.
|
 | CSI: Ambleside by Half Man Half Biscuit
Buy new: £10.48 / Used from: £9.15 The mighty 'Biscuit's return to form gathers pace with this one - almost as good as their '80s peak.
|
 | Swaddling Songs ~ Remastered and repackaged by Mellow Candle
Buy new: £9.48 / Used from: £11.39 OK, so it's a reissue, but it's also one of the greatest albums ever made. If Simmonds and Williams soaring voices don't get you going then there's really no hope for you. Too essential for words.
