The Drift - Blue Hour (2011)
- Ambient, textured, meditative, uplifting and complex post-rock from San Francisco's The Drift. Blue Hour is the first album recorded since former-trumpeter/flügelhornist Jeff Jacobs lost his long battle with cancer.
Various Artists - Hava Narghile Vol.1: Turkish Rock Music 1966-1975
- Exactly what it sounds like..
Bob Mould - Workbook (1989 - promotional copy)
- Debut solo album from former-Hüsker Dü frontman. One of 2 solo albums Mould released prior to catapulting into the mainstream with the band Sugar in the mid-'90s. The songwriting on Workbook showcased a much broader range of textures and emotions, and was a bit of a departure from Hüsker Dü's musical sturm-und-drang , but still offered listeners plenty of Mould's trademark intensity.
Bettie Serveert - Palomine (1992)
- Despite receiving critical acclaim and a somewhat honest major-label push when Capitol Records made a distribution deal with Matador Records (primarily to secure their bid to sign the band Pavement), Better Serveert received only a small measure of popularity within the "Alternative Nation". The Dutch band should have been much bigger than they were.
Listen to the evidence below -
The Who - Odds & Sods (1974)
- Collection of alternate recordings and rareties from the band's first decade together, including early sides recorded when they were know as The High Numbers. Essential companion piece to The Who's proper albums.
Donovan - What's Bin Did And What's Bin Hid (1965)
- Scottish-born singer-songwriter who was initially labelled as "Britain's answer to Bob Dylan". Donovan quickly diverged from that path to become an artist with wide-ranging influences, but here on his debut album, he was primarily still playing his brand of Woody Guthrie (with a bit of Bert Jansch)-influenced folk music.
