"Recommend me some albums please..."

I'm needing new albums bigstyle-ee so please recommend some good ones. I have such an open music taste so anythings welcome. All I ask is for albums, not singles...

I love the music to do with the Ring in LOTR - the horns, for example, when Bilbo drops it on the floor at Bag End, and in Mount Doom itself, the incredibly high strung operatics etc.

Way Out West Intensify
D&B beats, some chillout tracks. WOW are class, and amazing remixers.

Kanye West - Live in Amsterdam

Very good, all songs from College Dropout but with collaboration with John Legend which all sound great, plus there is 5 or 6 tracks from his new album Late Registration

"Your order for Blue Album - Orbital has been posted."

Is it a side project? As opposed to an evolution/new band?

My Glassjaw radar has been rather quiet recently....

Nice one. I listened to it again, and have reevaluated my opinion of it. It's a great album, with tracks sounding like everything from early orbital to stuff like the Lush (Euro-Tunnel Disaster 94) remix, which is probably intentional.

The only one I can't get away with is "Acid Pants" ("When the laugh track starts, then the fun starts", with vocals from the guys from "Sparks"), it's total and unlistenable crap. Having said that, every Orbital album must by law have one of these tracks otherwise they just aren't being inventive enough.

Highlights? "You Lot" and "One perfect sunrise", which is a beautiful song and a perfect close to the Orbital sound, perhaps for good.

I was under the impression HA were a side project of one of the GlassJaw guys, but I'm not entirely sure... They're something to do with the 'jaw anyhow.

Emiliana Torrini's album Love In The Time Of Science is well worth checking out. Just read on Amazon that she wrote Kylie's Slow, but don't hold that against her.
