Album

A Derbyshire-bred, Manchester-based group formerly known as the Dakota Oak Trio. DOT loiter pleasantly at the dewy, bucolic end of post-rock. Fridge are, perhaps, their closest contemporaries. And just as Kieran "Four Tet" Hebden's solo output outshines his work with Fridge, there's a sense DOT's Dave Tyack and James "Pedro" Rutledge make much better records on their own. Plenty of ramshackle virtuosity, crafty folktronica hybrids and limp singing amongst these 10 tracks, but the earth remains resolutely unshattered.

Live follow-up to 2001's Last Man On Earth with all-star band

Six years and three albums later, FQ is still one big enigma

Eighty-three examples of Stephin Merritt's pop art from 99/2000

Well-presented, bonus-heavy reissues-if only Quo were worth it

Cantankerous mini album of remixes from Scottish provocateurs

Another pop classic from Prince of Pioneer Valley

Liverpudlian stalwart plays the solo card but loses the trick

Second album from Bristol-based rock-dance crew

Business as usual for much-derided dadrockers
