 | SKIN AND BONES - FOO FIGHTERS
$10.31 Buy

 | I WILL - MOZELLA
$13.29 Buy
While it may be tempting to compare her sound and style to everyone from Norah Jones to Lauryn Hill, 23-year-old MoZella stakes out her own musical territory--pop melodies, jazzy soulful vocals--on her debut album I Will. A beguiling blend of natural-born songwriting skills, a distinctive vocal gift and a lifetime steeped in music. |

 | RUDEBOX - WILLIAMS, ROBBIE
$12.92 Buy
Williams' 2006 album includes collaborations with the likes of The Pet Shop Boys, William Orbit, Mark Ronson and a host of others, on both original compositions and covers of some of his favourite tracks. This is perhaps the most definitive Robbie Williams opus to date, where his truest personal and musical inspirations collide to create an intimate and explorative sound that will surprise some! |

 | GALA MILL - DRONES
$14.39 Buy
Gala Mill is an album full of extremes - moments of stark, ghostly beauty set against outbursts of the dark, intense noise for which the band is renowned. This is as diverse and eclectic a collection of songs as The Drones have recorded to date. |

 | BACK TO MINE - MERCURY REV
$17.21 Buy
2006 compilation handpicked by Alternative weirdoes Mercury Rev featuring many songs that have influenced them as well as a few current favorites. Includes tracks from Suicide, Andrew Bird, David Bowie, Terry Jacks, Nico, Alex Chilton, Galaxie 500 and Randy Newman plus a brand new Mercury Rev track, 'Cecilia's Lunar Expose', recorded specifically for this collection! |
|
 | TWEEDLES - RESIDENTS
$18.61 Buy
These compositions tended to focus less on harmonics and melody more than their previous effort, Animal Lover, and could only be described as a patchwork of new and often exotic textures. For the group, this patchwork was the reflection of an often chaotic, but uniquely immersive experience. |
|
 | FEVER TREE/ANOTHER TIME ANOTHER PLACE - FEVER TREE
$16.52 Buy
Though held in high esteem by '60s psych aficionados, this Houston band never met with much commercial success, only notching the #91 hit 'San Francisco Girls (Return of the Native)' in 1968. But part of the reason for that is also the reason these albums, their first two and only essential releases, are so much fun to listen to; this was a band with big ambitions, working classical and jazz influences and unusual instrumentation into the rock format well before such a thing became commonplace, pointing the way towards the prog-rock movement to come. |

 | PUBLIC WARNING - LADY SOVEREIGN
$10.89 Buy
The self-proclaimed 'biggest midget in the game' has gone from the bloggers champ to magazine-cover-vamp on both sides of the pond, having graced the covers of URB, The Fader, and i-D to name a few. |
