Bill Laswell - Imaginary Cuba - 17-Nov-05 09:07 AM
In a year marked by the superb Cuban Music movie, "Buena Vista Social Club" Bill Laswell gave his treatment of the same music to the world. Many have criticized Laswells transformative projects, which began in the seventies with African Music on the Celluloid label. His pristine production and layered textures make this foreign music accessible to the untrained ear, and encourage exploration to the roots. My record collection now boasts several more Cuban records as a direct, and positive, result of the "Imaginary Cuba" discs.

Tubeway Army - Replicas - 06-Nov-05 12:54 PM
Gary Numan takes inspiration in equal parts from Philip K Dick and William Burroughs on this landmark sonic distopia. This record explores themes of alienation and isolation with lyrics far beyond the teenage angst that riddled like music then and now.
"Replicas" is replete with well-crafted and catchy pop songs that anticipated the "Bladerunner" future years before that movie was released.
The single "Down in the Park" was used in the soundtrack to the punk film "Times Square", released in 1980.
"Replicas" is a seminal work by a pioneering artist still making music today.

Golden Palominos, The - This Is How It Feels - 04-Nov-05 10:08 AM
This "record" is based in large part on the Graham Greene novel "the End of the Affair". It makes a terrific aural lens to study the human condition through. This album is highly recommended, and a great 1/2 of a diptych when coupled with a reading of the book.
