The Cardigans - First Band On The Moon

Album: First Band On The Moon

Year: 1996

One of the better pop rock bands of the 90's, The Cardigans are from sweden, and most of the band members have their roots in heavy metal, which makes for the diversity in the music (and the BEAUTIFUL black sabbath cover of iron man). On this Album, you can also see how this band pays attention to the little details in the arrangements and the music.

Om - Conference Of The Birds

Album: Conference Of The Birds
Year: 2006

Very very heavy stuff, om is a two-piece band or a "bass-band" meaning that there are no six-stringed guitars on the album, just a set of drums and a bass. you'll hear nothing more than slow trance-inducing riffs that are repeated over and over again, and if you think thats boring, im very happy to say that you couldnt farther from the truth. because with each repeating sound the music crawls under your skin, theres a good chance that you might not like this but if you are a true psychedelica lover then your in for the ride of your life. Experience.

Tracklist:
1. At Giza
2. Flight Of The Eagle

Album: Streetcleaner
Year: 1990

Torche - Meanderthal

Album: Meanderthal
Year: 2008

One of the best metal album to come out of 2008, Torche are one of those bands who are praised for their unique sense of eclecticism through lush, ethereal and thunderous music, meaning that some of the music might take you down to the deep depths of doom, like the title track, others might sound like a Jimmy Eat World song "across the sheilds" and for that reason alone, i dig this. you dont have to be really into metal to appreciate this album, so give it a shot, you might like it.

1. Triumph Of Venus
2. Grenades

Earth - The Bees Made Honey In The Lions Skull

Album: The Bees Made Honey In The Lions Skull

Year: 2008

An epic piece of work. This album basically contains an atmospheric ambiance with a heavy hint of blues, here you will hear epic songs that have riffs repeating and repeating until they're driven through the ground with huge layers of reverb and echo. this feels like walking in deserted streets alone at 3 AM. this just needs to be heard rather than discussed.

Tracklist:
1. Omens and Portents I: The Driver
2. Rise to Glory
3. Miami Morning Coming Down II (Shine)
4. Engine of Ruin
5. Omens and Portents II: Carrion Crow

The Bad Plus - For All I Care

Album: For All I Care

Year: 2008

a glorious effort in the name of all that is new and progressive. this album is unbelievably addictive because all of the revamped covers on it (pink floyd, the flaming lips, wilco) played them with nothing less than a set of drums, a stand-up bass and a piano, all put to unconventional use. For the first time progressive jazz trio "the bad plus" enlist the aid of a female vocalist, making their music much more accessible and approachable. I was very excited about this, and I still am. These guys are just FUCKING genius.

Tracklist:
1. Lithium
2. Comfortably Numb
3. Fém (Etude No. 8)
4. Radio Cure

Sun Kil Moon - April

Album: April

Year: 2008

An album that can be nowhere other than on repeat, an extremely beautiful piece of music speaks for itself. the usual helping of Mark Kozeleks dreamy acoustics and warm electric guitars that sound like dancing stars in the night is at its best here, with a bittersweet melancholic tone throughout, this makes the album one of the best ive heard all year.

1. Lost Verses
2. The Light
3. Lucky Man
4. Unlit Hallway
5. Heron Blue
