initial impressions:  mix of immediate joys and unfathomable noise with one or two gently unfurling flowers.
recommendations:  7. The Cooper O' Fife   14. The Man You'll Never Be   9. Strewf!

initial impressions:  one of a kind in a field of clones but one is sufficient; curious tinkly fare, not unpleasing.
recommendations:  3. Grow Grow Grow   1. The Devil   5. White Chalk

initial impressions:  still very, very good indeed, still brilliant and original; their brightest sound since 'Kid A'.
recommendations:  7. Reckoner   3. Nude   5. All I Need

initial impressions:  the sharpest swamp rockers in London town produce the fieriest album since their debut.
recommendations:  6. On Ward 10   4. Put The Bolt In The Door   9. Night Panic Bossa

initial impressions:  Spiritualized support act; LP (bought at gig) falls short of their ambitious airy live sound.
recommendations:  14. Motionless   4. Kirilov   1. As The Morning Light

initial impressions:  fourth album is possibly their best yet; perfect roughed-up electropop, ought to be huge.
recommendations:  2. Ghosts   13. Versus   3. I'm Not Scared

initial impressions:  the significant remastering takes some getting used to, but the great tracks remain great.
recommendations:  9. Deeply Concerned   7. Even Dogs In The Wild   5. Transport to Central

initial impressions:  competent second album by Slovenia's finest; not quite as pleasing as their first or third.
recommendations:  15. Eboran (Remix)   10. 01   09. Keltvek

initial impressions:  energetic, earnest, eighties-ish rock/pop debut LP; 'Munich' and 'Blood' are outstanding.
recommendations:  2. Munich   3. Blood   5. All Sparks

initial impressions:  witty, weary, well-observed, working-class songs for beatbox and guitar; enduring heroes.
recommendations:  1.2. Preposterous Tales (flexi)   2.8. We Stand Around   1.12. My Favourite Records
