 | Standards by Tortoise
Buy new: £9.78 / Used from: £3.99 Majestic, sometimes primitive but always good, this one takes a while to sink in.
|
 | Mingus Ah Um by Charles Mingus
Buy used from: £3.93 Better git it in your collection if you like sweet and thrilling jazz from a bygone decade.
|
 | Sunflower/Surf's Up by Beach Boys
Buy new: £2.98 / Used from: £2.20 Two cosmic, awe-inspiring masterpieces on one CD.
|
 | Songs to Remember by Scritti Politti
Buy new: £5.88 / Used from: £4.24 Melodic, organic, soulfull, the sweetest record from 1981
|
 | You Could Be Born Again by Free Design
Buy used from: £76.86 Gorgeous, rich, multilayered, apparently naive (but not really).
|
 | Roxy and Elsewhere by Frank Zappa
Buy used from: £5.91 Fast and furious, jazzy, funny and bizarre. You Can't Do That On Stage Vol 2 has the same band and is also great.
|
 | Beet Maize and Corn by High Llamas
Buy new: £9.98 / Used from: £4.98 Peaceful, clever, harmonious, this grows on you.
|
 | Dots and Loops by Stereolab
Buy new: £6.98 Hard to decide which Stereolab to include - they're all good and have to be heard as a whole to see how they've grown from Velvet-like dronery to rich pointillistic jazzery.
|
 | Adventures Beyond The Ultraworld by The Orb
Buy new: £8.98 / Used from: £4.00 A little fluffy masterpiece, the Sgt Pepper of post-rave music.
|
 | The Trip created by St. Etienne by Various Artists
Buy new: £8.78 / Used from: £5.99 A great band, but what a majestic mix. You won't believe that such great records were made prior to 1973 and no-one has heard of them.
|
 | Music for 18 Musicians by Steve Reich
Buy new: £12.69 / Used from: £9.62 Ba, ba, ba, ba, baba, baba, baba , baba, babbaba, babbaba etc. What more do you need to know?
|
 | Glass: Satyagraha - Opera in Three Acts by Philip Glass
Buy new: £19.98 / Used from: £33.11 Find out where modern pop musicians get their inspitation. Epic, inspired, not as repetitive as some would have you believe.
|
![Hejira [VINYL]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41a%2BA5Ef39L._SL75_.jpg) | Hejira [VINYL] by Joni Mitchell
Buy new: £6.47 / Used from: £3.20 Warm, intelligent and plaintive, this is (in my humble opinion) Joni's best.
|
 | Meet the Residents by Residents
Buy used from: £29.00 Bizarre but oddly compelling, pre-punk but undefinable, this one has to be heard to be believed.
|
 | Ocean of Sound by Various Artists
Buy used from: £14.99 No longer available, which is a shame, as it's a marvellous "semi-ambient" collection from all over the world.
|
 | Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
Buy used from: £4.00 The cover shows a distorted purple image of a guitar. Says it all really. A true work of genius - hard to get into but so rewarding. I originally took the tape back cause I thought it warped!
|
 | Geogaddi by Boards Of Canada
Buy new: £7.98 / Used from: £5.48 Top notch ambient noodlings with something for everyone.
|
 | Hot Shots II by Beta Band
Buy new: £7.98 / Used from: £1.14 Folky, angsty but funny, they can share my pizza pie any day.
|
 | Gilles Peterson in Brazil: Mixed By Gilles Peterson by Gilles Peterson
Buy used from: £3.97 I had no idea that the music of Brazil was so rich and fantastic until I heard this.
|
 | Future Days by Can
Buy used from: £5.99 Monstrous

Listmania!
