 | Apollo: Atmospheres & Soundtracks by Brian Eno
Buy used from: £5.90 Press play, close your eyes, and imagine skimming along in a lunar orbit. Magical.
|
 | Victorialand by Cocteau Twins
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.74 My favourite Cocteau Twins album, it almost enforces peace and daydreaming.
|
 | The Velvet Underground and Nico by Velvet Underground
Buy new: £6.78 / Used from: £3.27 Nico's voice, great lyrics, excellent music. The 60s on a disc.
|
 | Solid Air by John Martyn
Buy used from: £6.38 Mellow from the first note, a classic album from a great artist.
|
 | 5 by J.J. Cale
Buy new: £3.87 / Used from: £23.18 Possibly the best JJ Cale album - another CD to put in the stereo and flake out to after a hard day.
|
 | Disintegration by The Cure
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.25 Disintegration really holds together
|
 | The First Album by Ella Guru
Buy used from: £0.89 Intricate and gently stunning, I can't wait to hear what they produce for the second album.
|
 | Spirit of Eden: Remastered by Talk Talk
Buy new: £2.98 / Used from: £2.97 A true masterpiece, and definitely an *album*, rather than a collection of (albeit great) songs like some of their other CDs.
|
 | Love in the Time of Science by Emiliana Torrini
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £4.95 Hard to describe or pigeonhole, but who cares.
|
 | Secrets of the Beehive: Remastered by David Sylvian
Buy used from: £5.93 Take bucketfuls of talent, and a voice that could seduce any gender or orientation, and this is the result.
|
 | Passion by Peter Gabriel
Buy new: £5.47 / Used from: £8.87 A haunting trip to Afica and the Middle East.
|
 | Maria McKee by Maria McKee
Buy new: £4.37 / Used from: £1.32 A wonderful and emotion-packed voice, and fine lyrics.
|
 | Acadie by Daniel Lanois
Buy used from: £6.00 Seemingly now a collector's album, beautifully constructed and different.
|
 | Siren by Heather Nova
Buy used from: £2.95 Brilliant, talented and beautiful, with a voice that can rock you or chill your spine.
|
 | Instinct by Mandalay
Buy used from: £5.99 I started off loving this album, nad it's still growing on me.
|
 | Hounds of Love by Kate Bush
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £4.07 It's hard to pick a favourite Kate Bush album, but this just gets in as my number one.
|
 | On the Way to the Peak of Normal by Holger Czukay
An excellent soundtrack to off-piste journeys through your mental landscapes.
|
 | Erpland: Remastered by Ozric Tentacles
Buy new: £7.89 / Used from: £4.00 Spaced-out hippy rock from one of the defining bands of the time and genre.
|
 | Sensations of Tone by Gol
Buy used from: £149.99 Variable quality and now rare, but worth picking up (if you can find it) for the true gems. Antonia Reiner has one of the sexiest voices ever.
|
 | The First Blood Mystery by Carina Round
Buy used from: £11.43 Jazzy, bluesy, rocky. Sometimes discordant but somehow more calming than it should be. Maybe just knowing there is real talent out there makes the world feel more worthwhile.
