 | All Is Dream by Mercury Rev
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £1.99 The male alto vocals polarise opinion but I think this album is a wonder.
|
 | Post by Bjork
Buy new: £4.32 / Used from: £1.49 My favourite Björk album. Accessible (for Björk) but lacking none of her genius: quality all the way through.
|
 | Grace by Jeff Buckley
Buy used from: £3.10 Jeff Buckley's lithe voice weaves through other-worldly numbers of changing pace. The original 1994 Sony album or its 'original album classic' reissue sound much better than the Columbia remaster.
|
 | Whatever and Ever Amen by Ben Folds Five
Buy new: £3.25 / Used from: £1.20 This album has brilliant and original songs recorded in a one-take style. Adult lyrics.
|
 | Kamakiriad by Donald Fagen
Buy new: £4.48 / Used from: £1.66 A concept album about a rambling journey in a futuristic eco-vehicle, which turns out to be an emotional journey too.
|
 | Clandestino by Manu Chao
Buy new: £9.97 / Used from: £4.72 Cynical lyrics and latin rhythms with haunting electronic filigree.
|
 | Beyond Skin by Nitin Sawhney
Buy used from: £11.95 Clear an hour of your time, settle into your favourite seat then let this fusion album surround you. Only a couple of songs lose their way but even these end well.
|
 | Push the Button by Money Mark
Bought blind from recommendation: has the odd filler but the remainder are quality songs. Worth a listen.
|
 | Bari by Ojos De Brujo
Buy new: £11.48 / Used from: £7.40 Fantastic flamenco fusion.
|
 | Fur And Gold by Bat For Lashes
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £4.04 Natasha Khan's goth heart speaks obliquely and this journey to distant lands and times is the result.

Listmania!
