Album

Neat narcotic nihilism from Norway

Electronica doesn't even begin to describe it...

Post-rocking, micro-house enthusiasts release second album

Sixth album from Washington DC power trio adds politics to the mix

Elemental, my dear Wreckless. Eric Goulden's 1986 releases on a twofer

With this triple-pronged DVD release, GN'R are freeze-framed forever: caught in a moment, celebrated and finally tucked away as a fond memory. The video collection tops and tails an extraordinary achievement while, live, the band are at their most untouchable and preposterous. Surely Axl must have sacked, then sued, the stylist for the lycra micro-shorts...

Prolific producer Luke Vibert's Cornish disco masterclass

From the intriguing Fran McDormand movie which—as one of its few flaws—suggested Britpop could flourish in LA, an eclectic, rather excellent collection. Whether we needed actor Alessandro Nivola to team up with Lou Barlow on two tracks is debatable, but around them you'll find Mercury Rev's exquisite "In A Funny Way" (one of the best things they've done), Butthole Surfers' wry "Shame Of Life", Steely Dan, Clinic and Sparklehorse. Not eclectic enough yet? Throw in Eartha Kitt growling "C'est Si Bon" and—again, woo-hah—T.

Edward Hopper-inspired second solo album from the former Stone Roses guitarist

Grandiose free-ranging psych pop that just stands the test of time
