Pink Floyd -- Obscured By Clouds

  Maybe not the type of music that a typical Floyd fan will be looking for, but for everyone else, Obscured By Clouds is like a long lost Hawkwind album!

Eric's Trip -- Purple Blue

  Purple Blue is the perfect stoner indie punk, but somehow it looks and sounds like an Elevator album, Rick's next project, so it has foreshadowing too!

Lou Reed -- New York

  The album New York is Lou Reed doing what he does best, low down street inspired city rock 'n' roll, but it's got a Velvet Undergroud influenced dad rock feel to it.

Leonard Cohen -- Death Of A Ladies' Man

  Death Of A Ladies' Man has that 50's inspired giant 70's rock band style that Phil Spector experimented with John Lennon, but instead it's Leonard Cohen singing ... so weird and hilariously enough they mention, in the liner notes, where they got their liquor and pizza from!

Wire -- Chairs Missing

  Art punk before such a term ever existed, these guys were like the British Pere Ubu, so far ahead of the curve, it took years for people to know what to make of it.
