 | Think Tank by Blur
Buy new: £3.39 / Used from: £1.49 This was crazily underrated, I miss Graham Coxen as much as everyone else but this album has too many sublime moments to ignore.
|
 | Time (The Revelator) by Gillian Welch
Buy new: £4.48 / Used from: £4.49 I don't like country music but this transcends any labels, it's just good.
|
 | Rejoicing In The Hands (Of The Golden Empress) by Devendra Banhart
Buy new: £8.98 Fantastic, a little bit crazy, but that is what makes it so fresh, he does sound like Marc Bolan, and the guitar reminds me of Nick Drake but he's an original.
|
 | Odelay by Beck
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £1.96 Having to work with the general public gets you down, but this cheers you right back up again.
|
 | Kid A by Radiohead
Buy new: £3.00 / Used from: £1.70 People say Radiohead are depressing, to me endless R n B compilations are depressing. This is something you've never heard, I've heard it hundreds of times and I'm not getting bored.
|
 | Involver (Limited Edition) by Sasha
Buy used from: £2.07 Stunning this is trance music, but don' t let that put you off, the way every song blends seamlessly into the next, is the opposite of soulwax, but just as ingenious.
|
 | Turn on the Bright Lights by Interpol
Buy new: £6.98 / Used from: £4.20 Interpol are the dark side of New York, they do sound like Joy Division, but with glamour.
|
 | The Everlasting Blink by Bent
Buy used from: £9.99 I know nothing about Bent and I don't want to. This sounds like memories of the best summers you've never had, very dreamy and somehow nostalgic. Give it a chance.
|
 | Homogenic by Bjork
Buy new: £7.48 / Used from: £2.60 "Emotional landscapes" Bjork sings in one of her songs, and the music echos her lyrics. The autechre beats and the beautiful strings work perfectly, this is cold weather music.
|
 | Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £0.81 Buy it just for the cover. Its hard to describe how much I love this album, for quite a while I wanted 'life is sweet ' to be my funeral song. maybe it's a bit loud.
|
 | Grace (New Version) by Jeff Buckley
Buy new: £3.97 / Used from: £3.70 I took this home and listened to it on my own, I was fed up with people at work saying "you haven't heard it?!" So I listened to the beginning of 'Mojo Pin' and it was like discovering lost treasure.
|
 | Bavarian Fruit Bread by Hope Sandoval
Buy used from: £13.00 I heard Hope Sandoval's voice on the chemical brother's song 'asleep from day' this whole album builds and improves on that, this is a hazy summer afternoon on CD.
|
 | Made To Love Magic by Nick Drake
Buy new: £4.54 / Used from: £3.99 I've heard some of Nick Drake's 'proper' stuff but it's aged too much for liking, this is some of the striped bare acoustic stuff, and I think it's brilliant.
|
 | Hello Nasty by Beastie Boys
Buy new: £9.98 / Used from: £1.00 Ahhh the beasties, I love them they can do know wrong, about 80% of this is a party album but there are some fantastic little mellow moments as well. 'instant death' is one of my favourite ever songs.
|
 | Sunshine Hit Me by Bees
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.93 They're from the Isle of Wight, which has apparently been stuck in the 60's since Jimi hendrix left. This album has so many influences that i'm too young to know about, but it's a lot of fun.
|
 | Hail to the Thief by Radiohead
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £1.46 It's taken me two years to like it, but now I love it. '2+2=5' is pure frustrated anger, 'sail to the moon' is sublime. It takes time, but listen to it very loudly, it erm... rocks.
|
 | Quality Control by Jurassic 5
Buy new: £3.97 / Used from: £2.38 This is Hip Hop the way it should be, I can never play the whole album in the shop because someone always buys it halfway through. Another party album, try not to dance.
|
 | Vetiver by Vetiver
Buy new: £10.94 / Used from: £5.85 Devendra Banhart is the guitarist, but this isn't as quirky as him, the emphasis is on pretty melodies and lovely songs, much better than keane.

![As Heard on Radio Soulwax Vol.2 [Belgian Import]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/415J0RS2Y2L._SL75_.jpg) | As Heard on Radio Soulwax Vol.2 [Belgian Import] by Various Artists
Buy new: £9.36 / Used from: £4.98 The sticker on the front says it best, if this doesn't get the party started you're at the wrong party. Destiny's Child's 'independant women' into '9 to 5' by Dolly Parton, Genius.
|
 | Stories From the City, Stories From the Sea by PJ HARVEY
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £1.49 This album is also very New york, majestic, strong, beautiful, angry, another of my favourite songs is 'horses in my dreams'
