Excluding the Church and the side projects which are obviously on my list - my recommendation is if you only buy one album

Still a bit early but maybe I edit this if something excellent comes along. 5 first places go to The Church-related releases which means that these will have
to start from #6.
6. Doves - Kingdom of Rust (song: Winter Hill) 7. Mew - No More Stories / Are Told Today... (song: Cartoons and Macrame Wounds) 8. The Mummers - Tale to Tell (song: Lorca and the Orange Tree) 9. Asobi Seksu - Hush (song:´Tranparence) 10. Dirty Projectors - Bitte Orca (song: Temecula Sunrise) 11. Howling Bells - Radio Wars (song: Nightingale) 12. Yo La Tengo - Popular Songs (song: Here To Fall) 13. The Duckworth Lewis Method - The Duckworth Lewis Method (song: Mason on The Boundary) 14. Wild Beasts - Two Dancers (song: Two Dancers ii) 15. Regina Spektor - Far (song: Human Of The Year) 16. Antony and the Johnsons - The Crying Light (song: The Daylight And The Sun) 17. The xx - XX (song: Infinity) Thanks for the other suggestions already here and those that will come. I might try out some of those in the near future too. I´m still in the middle of chewing Espers III but I have no idea yet where it would fit. Fando, I think the Mumford album is called Sigh No More. ...and, hey hey, Poesie mit Krallen is 10 years old!

in a review of the "Dark Was The Night" compilation, i read a very very true sentence...
"The general tone reflects the post-millennial spirit of indie rock: that any problem can be solved with enough lushness and beauty." I just wonder about the upcoming backlash... %-) |

All these albums have been mentioned so far. Not surprisingly The Church and Steve Kilbey & Martin Kennedy lead but after that 3 albums have been mentioned 3 times. The Church - Untitled#23 - IIIII Steve Kilbey & Martin Kennedy - Unseen Music Unheard Words - IIII Engineers - Three Fact Fader - 3 Neko Case - Middle Cyclone - 3 Yo La Tengo - Popular Songs - 3 The Mummers - Tale To Tell - 2 The Duckworth Lewis Method - The Duckworth Lewis Method - 2 Doves - Kingdom of Rust - 2 Bat For Lashes - Two Suns- 2 Howling Bells - Radio Wars - 2 The Flaming Lips - Embryonic - 2 Dangermouse & Sparklehorse - Dark Night Of The Soul - 2 Espers - Espers III - 2 1 mention: AC Newman - Get Guilty fire Zuave - Oscillation Isolator The Twilight Sad - Forget The Night Ahead Lotus Plaza - The Floodlight Collective St. Helens - Heavy Profession The Mary Onettes - Islands The Fauns - The Fauns The Milk & Honey Band - Dog Eared Moonlight Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavillion Mumford and Sons - Sigh No More M.Ward - Hold Time Jochen Distelmeyer - Heavy Arik & Timna Brauer - Poesie mit Krallen Element of Crime - Wo du bist bin ich nie Porcupine Tree - The Incident Faun - Acoustic Album Jónsi & Alex - Riceboy Sleeps The Antlers - Hospice Mew - No More Stories / Are Told Today...

The site regognizes the album if it´s at least somewhat known. U#23 came up after I typed "the ch". It´s unlikely U#23 will show up in any lists but who knows?

Didnt even know Gainsbourg had a new one. I had totally adored...eh what was it called 5am or something lol Seeing your list and being a big fan of Piano Magic I thought Ovations was their worst album to date. Piano Magic by numbers |

I still have to get the older albums by Gainsbourg ("5am" is correct, I think). The music of the new album is all written by Beck, BTW.
As for Piano Magic: I was reluctant putting it on the list, because there are only some good tracks on it and some are pretty boring. Additionally, it's not even close to the gorgeous Disaffected. But after a few listens I liked it enough to add it. |

Hi Dave.
I like the order on this one mate!! On your advice I will be buying Communion next Saturday. I don't get paid until 21 Feb but they've got a couple of copies at HMV in Brum. |
