Miles Davis -- Greatest Hits

  Summing up Miles Davis' career in eight tracks is a hard pill to swallow, the record is so all over the place, it's like a train wreck, an airplane crash plus an alien attack and a car wreck all in the same place, confusing but estounding!

The Soft Machine -- Third

  I almost half expected to hate this album, I had never heard it before, just read about it, but oh man this symbiotic love child of Miles Davis and Frank Zappa is a tour de force, definitely not a record for squirlly beginners.

Vashti Bunyan -- Just Another Diamond Day

   I am so in love with Vashti Bunyan, she's like the ultimate hipster, travelling the Irish countryside on a horse and buggy with her dog singing sweet lullaby-esque folk tunes, sounding like a undrepressing Nico.

Thee Oh Sees -- A Weird Exits

  Hands down their finest release, a killer mixture of their traditional garage sound and Dwyer's Eno-esque side project Damadged Bug, making this a super nova of the modern psych rock scene!  My only mega beef is the total fucking rip off 45 rpm double album format that has only three sides ... a complete discredit to the record buying public!!
