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.

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.

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.

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.

Centaur - In Streams (2002)

The sole album by Centaur, a band formed in 2000 by Hum's frontman Matt Talbott along with Derek Niedrignhaus of Castor and Jim Kelly of Sixteen Tons. Inevitably, this album is going to be compared to Hum and much of the material rivals the quality of the work Talbott did with Hum.

Z-Rock Hawaii - Z-Rock Hawaii (1996)

Collaboration between Ween and Japanese experimental noise-rockers Boredoms. An interesting mixture of Ween's off-kilter humour and Yamantaka Eye's unmistakable noisy style, and a pretty enjoyable listen overall.

Elliott Smith - Elliott Smith (1995)

Second album by Elliott Smith. Another one of my all time favourites, this is possibly his darkest (and best) album. Depressing and beautiful, an absolute essential.

Uzi and Ari - Headworms (2008)

This was uploaded a really long time ago, probably more than a year now so I guess I should get around to posting it. I wasn't really sure how to label this. Pretty little sounds. Male and female vocals, quiet songs, nice and varied instrumentation.

Edit: wow, why did no one tell me I didn't put links?

Lord Cut-Glass - Lord Cut-Glass (2009)

Solo debut by Alun Woodward under the Lord Cut-Glass moniker. Features beautifully arranged music played by classical musicians and some of the most clever songwriting of his career. Just the sort of thing you'd expect from an ex-Delgado.
