|

|
 | Super Are by Boredoms
Buy new: $14.98 / Used from: $5.37 This is a more evolved Boredoms sound, not the heavy JAPANOISE of their previous records, this is a more "Ambient Hardcore" sound, there is vast beauty to be found here, which was not prevelant on the earlier noise-oriented records
|
 | Psychic Powerless Another Ma by Butthole Surfers
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $11.99 In the 80's there were no artists who paralled the utter originality and disturbing dissonance of the butthole surfers, to this day their sound cannot be imitated. elements of punk and experimental distortion, while gibby haynes creates an unsettling vocal assault, they were downright scary, and yet the songwritng is quite impressive. they still dont get the recognition they deserve
|
 | Doolittle by Pixies
Buy used from: $2.72 one of the greats, their sound is quite expansive, and they wrote some of the WEIRDEST pop songs ever recorded. surf rock, post punk, its all here... brilliant from start to finish

 | Deltron 3030 by Deltron 3030
Buy used from: $5.40 excellent hip hop collaboration from the likes of dan the automator, and del the funkee homosapien...what really got me was when kid koala (BRILLIANT dj) was scratching opera...it shows that hip hop can be limitless if its in the right hands
|
 | 69 Love Songs Box Set by Magnetic Fields
69 songs about love in various musical genres, quite ambitious, and every song is great, and crooner stephen merrit is the thread that keeps the expansive genre changes to form a singular vision. you must own all 3 volumes to really appreciate the genius that lies within these records
|
 | Psyence Fiction by U.N.K.L.E.

|
 | Le Tigre by Le Tigre

|
 | You Forgot It in People by Broken Social Scene
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $5.11 for whatever reason (maybe something in the water) Canada seems to be where all the great indie rock is born...BSS are a collective of great musicians, and much like the other canadian supergroup (new pornographers) the vast array of different musical styles makes for an adventurous and beautiful record.
|
 | Third by Portishead
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $6.22 Where did this come from? ...one of the definitive TRIP HOP acts from the 90's, with the likes of Tricky and Massive Attack, portishead seemed to have dissappeared after their excellent live disc...but now they have re-emerged with a fresh sound,yet retain beth gibbons heart wrenching vocals
|
 | Soviet Kitsch by Regina Spektor
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $7.50 I might be biased, Regina Spektor and i went to school together (unfortunately we weren't friends) but this girl is downright talented. give her a piano and good acoustics and she will amaze. Her songwriting, her lyrics, its all there.
|
 | One Word Extinguisher by Prefuse 73
Buy new: $17.98 / Used from: $5.95 Excellent record, Prefuse doesnt fit in with the IDM crowd, he has a sound all his own...great collaborations as well
|
 | Demon Days by Gorillaz
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $2.94 Im sorry, but NOBODY sounds like this, just because its pop, people are quick to dismiss. but if you actually take in what you're hearing then prepare to be amazed, its just bursting with originality
|
 | Internal Wrangler by Clinic
Buy new: $14.98 / Used from: $4.31 A sound like no other, lots of organ and vibraphone, almost a country feel to it as well, with great use of electronics...and either ade blackburn sings through his teeth, or he actually wears that doctor mask while recording his vocals...another indie classic
|
 | Prayers on Fire by The Birthday Party
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $4.96 Nick Cave is definitely an innivative minded musician, this is a legendary post punk record that would be ahead of its time, if anything else actually sounded like this
