This week
Cabaret Cixous (2011) by Maria Minerva
"I have no idea what to call this; let's go with psych ambient." Goncalo Pereira
Pott: In the Heart of Things (2012) by Commotio
"This is a wash of modern choral polyphony that builds on Byrd. Close your eyes and float away!" Jonathan Matthews
Coastal Grooves (2011) by Blood Orange
"Came across this when desperately doing 'similar artists' searches for Grimes. Now, if you ask me, Blood Orange doesn't have much to do with Grimes at all, but it's absolutely lovely to listen to on a Sunday evening. And on Monday mornings. Erm, yep: basically I listen to it all the time at the moment, especially 'Champagne Coast'! <3" Mia Filisch
I'm Still in Love With You (1999) by Al Green
"One of those rare things; a perfect album. From 1972, when soul music was experimenting with the strings which would eventually lead to the stabs that punctuated disco. However, Al Jackson Jr's loping, perfect percussion is the base for a more funky stew." Stephen Somerville
Last week
Last Day of Summer (2011) by White Denim
"If 'Tony Fatti' doesn't get your toes tapping, seek medical assistance." Will James
Fin (2012) by John Talabot
"Moody, Mediterranean house record for John Talabot's first full length." Goncalo Pereira
Portico Quartet (2012) by Portico Quartet
"This self-titled third LP from the London jazz quartet feels like a triumphant coming of age. Stand-out piece 'Ruins' contains echoes of The Cinematic Orchestra at their very best. Documentary sound-bed ubiquity awaits in 2012." Aaron FitzGerald
Islands - Essential Einaudi (2011) by Ludovico Einaudi
"We’ve been listening to this album for a while at the Luxembourg office, it’s just so meditative." Carole Krieps
The week before last week
You'll Improve Me (Caribou Remix) (2011) by Junior Boys
"Dan Snaith does it again with another deadly remix, this time for fellow Canadians Junior Boys. Skip the needless intro and you're in for neck-snapping arpeggiated fun. Remixer of the moment, no question." Aaron FitzGerald
Age of the Joker (2011) by EDGUY
"A huge return to form for these German metal heavyweights. A perfect blend of power metal and 80s MOR. Ticks all the boxes for me." Alex Murton
Strange Weekend (2012) by Porcelain Raft
"Superb debut from London-based, Italian ex-pat Mauro Remiddi. Fans of Washed Out and Korallreven will enjoy it A LOT." Gemma Samways
The week before that
fabric 61: Visionquest (2011) by Visionquest
"Lovel, dub-bly! Like listening to techno underwater." Raoul Millais
Up To Our Hips (1999) by The Charlatans
"Underrated third outing from 90s indie groovemeisters. Notable for 'Jesus Hairdo', it's a baggy, blues-rock gem." Will James
From Rotting Fantasylands (2009) by Nero's Day At Disneyland
"One of the most convincingly mental (in the geekiest sense of the word) artists I know of. Try imagining a description in which the words "breakcore", "cartoon drone" and "baroque opulence" all make sense, and you've got him. Or listen to 'Eulogy for Nick Galvas' to get a taste." Mia Filisch
And so on...
Field Music (Measure) (2010) by Field Music
"Apparently their new album is going to be just as ground breaking as the last one so it's worth reminding yourself how good it was (in preparation)." Rob Bowley
Electric Ladyland (2010) by The Jimi Hendrix Experience
"It's hard to believe that this album was made in 1968, from the sonic manipulation of the introduction to the progressive blues epic of 'Voodoo Chile' and the rawness of 'Crosstown Traffic', Hendrix really was ahead of his time." Will Munn
Força Bruta (2006) by Jorge Ben
"A somewhat introspective and largely acoustic set from Rio's favourite son at the peak of his powers. Brazilian music doesn't get better than this." Aaron FitzGerald
Its The Arps (2012) by Todd Terje
"Smalltown Supersound muscle their way into the new year with this new EP from Norwegian space-disco titan Todd Terje." Alex Corradi
