 | Moon Safari by Air
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £1.23 Loved by everyone from couch-surfing party-goers to introverted bedsitters, this never really gets old. Warm electronica which holds surprising emotional weight.
|
 | Talkie Walkie by Air
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £0.98 More natural, diverse and human-sounding than Moon Safari and almost as good. It also sounds more escapist and optimistic.
|
 | Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
Buy new: £6.68 / Used from: £0.39 Alternately seething with rage and tenderness. Loved by casual pop fans and music snobs alike.
|
 | Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie by Alanis Morissette
Buy new: £6.68 / Used from: £0.01 The under-rated and more experimental follow-up deserves more recognition.
|
 | Alanis Unplugged by Alanis Morissette
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £0.13 Worth it for her cover of The Police's King of Pain alone. It's clear that the song means more to her than it ever could to Sting.
|
 | California by American Music Club
Buy used from: £54.59 I think this is being reissued soon since it looks like it's been deleted. One of the best Americana albums you can own.
|
 | Selected Ambient Works 85-92 by Aphex Twin
Buy new: £11.98 / Used from: £9.55 Nothing but simplistic beats and multi-layered synth lines haunt this album but it works brilliantly. A transporting, gleaming futurescape and an electronica classic.
|
 | Selected Ambient Works, Vol. 2 by Aphex Twin
Buy new: £8.98 / Used from: £5.25 Removing the beats, SAW's sequal is alternately eerie, deeply emotional and occasionally flat-out scary. A masterpiece of modern art.
|
 | I Care Because You Do by Aphex Twin
Buy used from: £4.87 His most diverse album, from the orchestral minimalism to the thrillingly noisy, harsh and grating and all in between.
|
 | Richard D. James Album by Aphex Twin
Buy new: £6.98 / Used from: £4.00 Drum machines having heart-attacks and warm synths and bizarre samples. His best since his debut.
|
 | Windowlicker by Aphex Twin
Buy new: £4.89 / Used from: £3.30 If a single is still in print 10 years after its release consider it a classic.
|
 | New Magnetic Wonder by The Apples in Stereo
Buy new: £9.98 / Used from: £5.18 A seminal guitar-pop record.
|
 | Low Level Owl, Vol. 1 by The Appleseed Cast
Buy used from: £33.29 A sweeping indie-suite that occupies the space between Arcade Fire and Explosions in the Sky.
|
 | Funeral by Arcade Fire
Buy new: £6.98 / Used from: £5.45 Both grieving and euphoric, a majestic melancholy triumph.
|
 | Bang Bang Rock & Roll by Art Brut
Buy new: £9.98 / Used from: £3.99 A gleeful teenage stomping manifesto to having a great time while you're young.
|
 | Since I Left You by The Avalanches
Buy new: £6.48 / Used from: £3.90 Around 3500 samples in a 60 minute record would be impressive even if it sounded a bit rubbish. Luckily this is a spectacular, unique record which every home should own.
