2012 studio album from Leeds based Shoegaze/Alt Rock outfit IlikeTrains. The Shallows explores our relationships with technology. Set to a dark motorik pulse and haunted by machines, production duties were handed to Richard Formby, celebrated for his work on the Mercury Prize-nominated Two Dancers by Wild Beasts. The Shallows deals with themes of information overload, charts a history of how our tools have shaped us, and asks how our recent reliance on digital technology to obtain information has changed the way we think and retain knowledge.

This 2006 two CD set encapsulates the wild, weird and wondrous musical history of Mercury Rev, from their first release in 1991 to the present time. Features singles, album tracks, edits, remixes and many mesmerizing musical moments. Also features collaborations with Alan Vega, Sean O'Hagan, Robert Creeley and others. 32 tracks total. V2.

Death to the Pixies was the first Pixies best-of compilation, released by 4AD in the UK on October 6, 1997 and 4AD/Elektra the following day in the United States to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the band's debut. It covered the years 1987 to 1991. It is now out of print, having been replaced by the 2004 compilation Wave of Mutilation: Best of Pixies. A limited edition of the compilation also included a second CD with a live performance taken from Vredenburg, Utrecht, Netherlands on September 25, 1990.

Gram Rabbit emerged from the high desert of Joshua Tree, California armed with a repertoire partaking of reverberant space rock, electro-pop glitz, shadowy spaghetti-Western twang, and the low-down sexiness of the seemlier Las Vegas lounge in equal measures. This trio was born from the muso-spiritual melding of diverse, extraordinary souls: singer/keyboardist/guitarist Jesika von Rabbit; guitarist/singer Todd Rutherford; and Travis Cline, their sample-guru and bassist.

Gram Rabbit’s debut album, Music To Start a Cult To, was recorded with Ethan Allen producing (Tricky, Kristin Hersh and Luscious Jackson, etc.) Echoing the musical and personal odysseys that led to the band members creating this album, each track takes the listener on a unique journey shepherded by the stirring, soulful, and seductive vocal stylings of bewitching front woman, Jesika von Rabbit.

Music To Start a Cult To kicks off with the leather-chapped sing-a-long "Dirty Horse," a fanciful recounting of a rapprochement between Jesus and the Devil. "Witness" is an ode to self-actualization, set to a sinuous beat and Space Invaders synth stylings. "Kill A Man" sets a deceptively winsome commentary on the culture of gratuitous violence to gentle guitar strumming, interwoven with electronic cirrus clouds. "Devil's Playground" is somber tumbleweed-choked country-folk depicting the common struggle of everyday life.

Imagine walking into a honkytonk, deep in the heart of desert country. The clientele includes devil worshippers, witches, hippies, rock climbers, military men, and the random soul-searching tourist, all gathered to hear alien frequencies channeled by Morse code keyboards, slithering reverb-laden guitars, tick-tocking drum machines and samplers that yield a shocking surprise every 40 odd seconds. All eyes, however, are focused on the singer; she's wearing bunny ears. Oh-so-sexily, she deadpans, "Sometimes all it takes is a little smile or some chocolate cake; to put a spring in the step of the bi-polar fool."

Within and Without is the new full-length from Washed Out.
Released: July 12, 2011

尽管意念可以迅速在音乐中迷荡，却还是无法找到一个确切的词语去很好的概括或者形容它。
Hole有着古典剧开幕一样奢靡的前奏，噪音和弦乐在音乐声中描绘了一个诡异的场面，扭曲的电吉他在人声后面如影随形，和钢琴、鼓一起支撑整首曲子，对立之间互相渗透，用人声沟通的旋律悄然落幕。
opus 40的名字给人一种错觉，混在其中的弦乐远离了那些惯常的摇滚元素，hudson line的jazz风格的前奏和主唱收敛起来的充满爆发性力量的嗓音，光滑的音色浸润在SAX的随性中。
The funny bird中将噪音旋律后营造出的环境在试图扭曲既有的和谐，电气化的主唱的声音像挣扎在水中一般。无助的音效和高昂的激情毫不留情的碰撞。
pick up if you\'re there中幽怨的旋律很是让现在的我喜欢，我一直不能很深入的neo-folk在这首歌里面深深吸引了我，或许是丰富的多的旋律以及音乐中迷雾一样的云层笼罩了我的思绪，那段电吉他效果在阴森恐怖的城堡中比女声显的正义的多。
Goddes on a hiway丰富的旋律和抚慰人心的音色质地浸渍在几乎是天堂般的柔光里，带有不同于传统摇滚色彩的交响乐般闪烁着异彩的威严，指亮了那些崎岖的人生之路。

Renowned director Lars Von Trier's stroke of genius in making his 2000 film DANCER IN THE DARK was to cast Iceland-born avant-pop siren Bjork in the central role and then enlist her aid in composing and performing a series of musical numbers for the movie. In the film, Bjork's character Selma lives an unrelentingly hard life as a single mother and factory worker who is quickly going blind. The film's songs come from Selma's inner world, where she (and the audience) find respite from all the harshness of reality.
Bjork's compositions, with orchestral arrangements from Vince Mendoza, hang together on their own quite nicely. Catherine Deneuve (Bjork's co-star) and Radiohead's Thom Yorke make effective vocal cameos, but Bjork's voice and music are the central focus. As we hear the industrial sounds of the factory turn into the rhythm of a song, or follow Bjork's oddly intuitive melodic leaps through a dreamlike haze of strings, it becomes clear that her idiosyncratic writing style adapts quite well to the cinematic milieu. As usual, her uniquely entrancing singing style stands out above almost all else.

★葛萊美獎入圍肯定、Q雜誌冊封「史上最佳女搖滾歌手」，睽違五年全新大碟強勢登場
★有請U2合唱團、新秩序合唱團、殺手樂團御用團隊量身操刀製作
★收錄主打單曲" The Wheel"、備受爭議同名作等搖滾新曲
榮獲六次葛萊美獎與八次全英音樂獎入圍提名肯定，身擁兩座水星音樂獎加持， PJ哈維 PJ Harvey已名列當代最傑出的搖滾女力，現年46歲的她儼然已預約成為獨立/另類搖滾界的傳奇人物，生涯每張專輯皆獲得各大權威音樂媒體的一致好評，知名滾石雜誌更是對她推崇無比；而PJ Harvey亦不負大眾的期望，以略帶實驗搖滾和藝術搖滾的全新音樂風格，持續在樂壇闖盪與開拓。
揮別了2011年第八張個人專輯【Let England Shake】榮獲各大媒體好評與滿分推崇，以及摘下水星音樂獎年度最佳專輯的殊榮後，PJ Harvey暫別了樂壇，以詩人觀察家的身份參與了一項名為「HOPE VI」的計畫，同時也和攝影師Seamus Murphy一同走訪了柯索沃、阿富汗與華盛頓特區等地，深度觀察了當地底層的生活，並且檢視了一般人看不到的社會黑暗面。2011- 2014年這段期間，PJ Harvey所體會到的心得以及所領悟的人生體驗，成為了新專輯的素材和靈感。結束了HOPE VI的任務後，2015年來到英國倫敦地區，以為期一個月且公開錄音的前衛方式，協同製作人Flood與大師級音樂人John Parish，在倫敦的Somerest House廣場架起了錄音室，讓所有民眾都可以看到PJ Harvey製作專輯的過程，把音樂轉化為最誠摯且直接的共鳴，使所有人都彷彿感受到自己親身經歷了新專輯的誕生過程。在錄音期結束後的一年，經歷了精雕細琢的後製與混音工程，交出了第九張個人全新專輯【地下希望工程 The Hope Six Demolition Project】。
【The Hope Six Demolition Project】請到了知名製作人Flood(New Order、U2、The Killers)，以及英國當代大師級，身兼音樂人、製作人、作曲家的John Parish(Eels、Tracy Chapman)兩人聯手操刀專輯製作；開場的"The Community of Hope"一釋出便造成華府地區的轟動，其中蘊含批判的歌詞，讓許多國會議員臉上無光；在擁有些許實驗搖滾聲響中的"Chain of Keys"，是專輯中極具耐聽性的歌曲；首波注打歌曲"The Wheel"播出後，立刻形成了廣大的迴響，也成為了音樂生涯的另一里程碑；隱隱約約控訴著資本主義窠臼的"Dollar, Dollar"，作為一個反叛搖滾份子的最佳寫照，歌曲內涵的情感和憤怒，更是她歷年搖滾的集大成之作。深刻體悟的歌曲必定為最真實的搖滾作品，【The Hope Six Demolition Project】就是PJ Harvey最赤裸的搖滾經典。

Taken from the band's 2003 compilation 'Greatest Hits'. The title track is backed with two non-LP tracks, 'Eskimo' & 'Bunker Hill'. Warner.
