Stomu Yamash’ta | Floating Music; Freedom Is Fighting; The Man From The East; One By One; Raindog

Esoteric (2008)
For a sample of Yamash’ta’s impressive range, the tranquil Floating Music (1972) and the car-racing-inspired One by One (1974) are good entry points for this often neglected performer and composer.

madvillainy-2LIST.jpg

MF Doom & Madlib | Madvillainy 2

Stones Throw (2008)

jobriathLIST.jpg

Jobriath | Jobriath + Creatures Of The Street

 Collectors’ Choice (2008)

ScottWalkerlist.jpg

Scott Walker

’Til The Band Comes In | Water
This is one of the classic artistic-breakdown albums, as revelatory as the Beach Boys’ Wild Honey or the Beatles’ Let it Be .
By GUSTAVO TURNER  |  August 26, 2008

blackaffairlist.jpg

Black Affair

Pleasure Pressure Point | V2
Mason’s off-kilter lyrics and psychedelic sense of melody overpower the thrift-store Gary Numan and Depeche pastiches and the trite S&M vibe.
