School of Seven Bells - Alpinisms

Hazy but lyric.

Stars - Sad Robot; Set Yourself On Fire

Reminiscent of Shiny Toy Guns but more mellow and pop-y. (Also, Canadian.)

Jim Sturgess - Across The Universe: Music From The Motion Picture

Soundtrack to the film featuring all Beatles songs -- the film isn't bad but the music's the highlight. Lots of good covers here, I like 'Come Together' (Joe Cocker), 'I Am The Walrus' (Bono), and 'Let It Be' the best.

Brand New Immortals - Tragic Show

"Immortals" were a group from Atlanta that got some play before I left in 1999. Every now and then I'd wonder what happened to them -- until I came across them on Yahoo. Turns out they release a fairly compelling record and then called it quits. 'Kalifornia', 'Ill Conceived' and 'Blacksun' are among my favorites, hard rock with some varied melodies and bit of funk.

Armin Van Buuren - A State Of Trance 2007

Good working mix of [vocal] trance. "Anthem" is toe-tapping if cheesy, but what techno music isn't?

The Go! Team - The Wrath Of Marcie

Wake up!
