Album

Spouse Anthems

K7! Given her wonderfully insolent and vital contributions to Matthew Herbert's previous musical endeavours (most notably on 2001's Bodily Functions), this debut album from singer Dani Siciliano is long overdue. Indeed, the record has taken some three years to come together, Siciliano having invested in a basic home studio and learnt from scratch how to assemble the 11 performances featured here. And how do they sound?

The Flaming Lips – Ego Tripping At The Gates Of Hell

Seven-track EP with four brand new Wayne Coyne compositions

Tangerine Dream – Tangents

Re-release of '94 box with extra material

Counting Crows – Films About Ghosts: The Best Of Counting Crows

Best-of, plus two new recordings

Easyworld – Kill The Last Romantic

Second album from Top 40-scraping UK trio

This Month In Soundtracks

Conceived as a black Woodstock in '72, an act of healing seven years after LA's Watts district had been all but burned down in race riots to the chanting of "burn, baby, burn", Wattstax was also, in truth, a masterful idea for a showcase of all the Stax acts of the time. Still, hell of a concert—112,000 people watched seven hours of Isaac Hayes, The Staple Singers, The Bar-Kays, Rufus Thomas etc, and a legend was born.

Luomo – The Present Lover

Second album of spacious microhouse from Italy's Vladislav Delay

Elephant Man – Good 2 Go

Jamaican superstar guns for international success

Various Artists – The Songs Of Jimmy Webb, Tunesmith

Hefty selection of Webb songs, featuring R.E.M., Stevie Wonder, Scott Walker and Dusty Springfield

Various Artists – Crème De La Crème

Philly soul classics and rarities from vaults of Atlantic, Atco and Warner Bros '72-'76
