Dinosaur Jr. - You're Living All Over Me (1987)


Classic album that has influenced countless bands. Incredible chugging and soloing guitars up the wazoo paired with J Mascis' apathetic vocals. You should already have this.

New Order - Video 5 8 6 (1997)

One 22 minute track. Written in 1892 but wasn't given a proper release for 15 years. You can hear pieces of what would become Blue Monday, Ultraviolence and of course, 586.

Little Scream - The Golden Record (2011)


Debut album. A very pretty voice with a nice sounding guitar. Not too sure what else to say about it, but it's good.

Check it out.

Cornelius - Fantasma (1997)


Third release by musician Keigo Oyamada. A very eclectic and fun album that constantly changes genres. Track 8 features members of Apples in Stereo on backing vocals.

Check it out.

Autolux - Transit, Transit (2010)


Autolux's long awaited follow up to their stellar debut. This album adds a bit to their sound. More acoustic guitars, some piano, samples, mellotron, synths and drum machines but their sound is still there. Not as immediate as their debut but it grows on you, trust me.

Check it out.

Official site.

Autolux - Future Perfect (2004)

Amazing debut album by one of my favourite bands. Fantastic song writing, effeminate boy/girl vocals, creative drumming, great guitar/bass interplay and bits of toy piano. Features a former member of Failure on guitar.

Check it out.

Various Artists - Total Feedback (2008)

Japanese compilation of shoegaze/dream-pop bands. Hope you enjoy. Features a song by previously posted Luminous Orange. Track 2 is a cover of Ride's classic track Vapour Trail.
