college rock fallout
SpiderlandSpiderland by Slint
Buy used from: £10.00
its all about the climax, and they don't get much better than good morning captain. Lo-fi, off kilter, sublime.

Hotel2Tango founding fathers. Dead flag blues is, I feel, the most coherent expression of their apocalyptic vision, whilst East Hastings is their best ever recording.
Come on Die YoungCome on Die Young by Mogwai

Moments of sheer beauty and intense noise.

Worth it for the glorious 20 minutes of Djed, melds electronic sensibilities with more traditional guitar work.
The Texas-Jerusalem CrossroadsThe Texas-Jerusalem Crossroads by Lift To Experience
Buy new: £8.84 / Used from: £6.53
Desert wide guitars, choirs and beards. A concept album that takes a satirical look at bible belt america, I think.
Airs Above Your StationAirs Above Your Station by Kinski
Buy new: £8.99 / Used from: £6.06
krautrock/sonic youth inspired sub pop band. Semaphore is possibly the most amazing song ever written.
