Album

Fine debuts from new alt.country queens

Capricious duets from two top players

BRMC buddy rides Britpop-fuelled rocket

Sheffield's ever-quirky modern dance troupe refine their chilly club choons

Collection of early work from German techno duo

Long overdue reissued twofer of pioneering US country-bloozesters

Rough and heartfelt beginnings of legendary renegade

Noel Gallagher-endorsed Blackburn quintet deliver strong debut

Incendiary Leyton rappers light the long-awaited way to an authentic UK style

DA Pennebaker, that eminent celluloid chronicler of live rock (Don't Look Back, Down From The Mountain), filmed the farewell Ziggy show (July 3, 1973, Hammersmith Odeon), and now Tony Visconti's remixed the soundtrack for a 30th anniversary double CD special edition (the film's out on DVD, too). Bowie's between-song banter is included for the first time, most notably the big bold brouhaha of the bye-bye speech. And "The Width Of A Circle" is present in all its noisy, unedited, 16-minute glory.
