OK Computer [2 LP] [Limited Edition]
:Album Description:180 Gram/Audiophile pressing Gatefold jacket/2 discs Printed sleeves :Radiohead's third album got compared to Pink Floyd a lot when it came out, and its slow drama and conceptual sweep certainly put it in that category. OK Computer, though, is a complicated and difficult record: an album about the way machines dehumanize people that's almost entirely un-electronic; an album by a British 'new wave of new wave' band that rejects speed and hooks in favor of languorous texture and morose details; a sad and humanist record whose central moment is Thom Yorke crooning ...

In Rainbows [Vinyl]
:Album Description:TENTATIVE TRACKLIST: '15 Step' – 3:57 'Bodysnatchers' – 4:02 'Nude' – 4:15 'Weird Fishes/Arpeggi' – 5:18 'All I Need' – 3:48 'Faust Arp' – 2:09 'Reckoner' – 4:50 'House of Cards' – 5:28 'Jigsaw Falling into Place' – 4:09 'Videotape' – 4:39 :On the deliriously satisfying In Rainbows, Radiohead returns to a more straight-ahead (though subdued) rock sound. Much hubbub has been made about this record's innovative release. Radiohead allowed fans to pay what they wished to download fairly low-resolution tracks from the band's own website. Like so many innovations, it already ...

In the Aeroplane Over the Sea [Vinyl]
: 's Best of 1998:Just from the opening seconds of Neutral Milk Hotel's second album, you know it's going to be special: the acoustic guitar strum is catchy beyond belief, and Jeff Magnum's intonation lends credibility even to a line like 'When you were young, you were the King of Carrot Flowers.' Listening to In the Aeroplane is like stepping through Alice's looking glass; you enter a fantastic new universe that, while it doesn't always make sense logically, feels like the home you never had. --Randy Silver Amazon.com essential recording:Led by Jeff Magnum, In ...

Kid A (2-10' LPs)
:Album Description:180 Gram/Audiophile pressing Two 10' discs in gatefold jacket Printed sleeves 's Best of 2000:How is it that Kid A's opening track, laden with an electronic vocal stuttering 'bleh, bluh-bleh bleh bluh' is the most fascinating statement made in rock & roll this year? Because somehow, even when Radiohead blathers and blips nonsense, it's profound. The band's future-perfect musical grammar may be hard to decipher, and the melody is even more subliminal, but the journey traveled with Radiohead reveals them to be not only rock music's greatest adventurers in 2000, but teachers ...

Siamese Dream [Vinyl]
: essential recording:An introductory drum roll drops out and is replaced by a single suspended electric guitar, which is then paralleled by a snare, filled in with the bass, and--crash!--'Cherub Rock,' the opening track, is enveloped in an explosion of metal guitar. So the journey begins. This album is pre-experimentation vintage Pumpkins. Produced by Butch Vig (Garbage, Sonic Youth, Nirvana's Nevermind), Siamese Dream is first about guitars. Lots and lots of guitars. A very close second is Jimmy Chamberlain's unquestionably excellent power drumming. Throughout each song, Billy Corgan delivers angsty lyrics in his ...

Viva la Vida [Vinyl]
: : Coldplay Photos Amazon.co.uk:To say there has been a lot of anticipation for Coldplay’s fourth album, Viva La Vida, is an understatement. Having enlisted legendary leftfield producer Brian Eno, borrowed their album title from a painting by renowned Mexican artist Frida Kahlo and made tantalising remarks about sonic reinvention, the world has been curious (to say the least) to hear what the ‘new’ Coldplay might sound like. Viva La Vida definitely makes some departures from the band’s usual formula, which happens to be one of the most commercially successful rock-pop blueprints of recent ...

4:13 Dream [VINYL]
:Album Description:U.S. double vinyl LP pressing. 2008 release, the 13th studio longplayer from the legendary Goth rockers led by Robert Smith. Now down to a quartet (Smith, Simon Gallup, Porl Thompson and Jason Cooper), the band continue to musically evolve while dealing with subjects like relationships, the material world, politics and religion. The songs on 4:13 Dream are stripped down and 'in your face' while also sounding very much like The Cure. Includes the singles 'The Only One', 'Freakshow', 'Sleep When I'm Dead' and 'The Perfect Boy.'

The Bends [Vinyl]
: : Radiohead Photos More from Radiohead OK Computer Amnesiac Kid A Pablo Honey Hail To The Thief I Might Be Wrong: Live Recordings Amazon.com:While Radiohead saw its stock rising in 1994, it wasn't until 1995's The Bends that it really became a blue chip band. And for good reason. The quintet honed its talent for bombastic Brit Rock, yet still preserved an edge of unpredictability. Even singles like the title track didn't give in to the kind of swooning guitar clichés usually embraced by commercial radio. If the CD ...

Only By The ight
: :Double LP - both LP's are 180 gram vinyl. Beautiful gatefold sleeve with spot-varnished art. Includes the non-cd track 'Frontier City.' Starting with the haunting guitar riff of the opening track 'Closer' through the melodic, stadium friendly strains of the first single 'Sex On Fire', to the closing refrain of 'Cold Desert', 'Only By The Night' firmly places Kings Of Leon in a musical class shared by very few. US headline tour begins in mid-October.

Hail to the Thief
: : Radiohead Photos More from Radiohead OK Computer The Bends Kid A Pablo Honey Amnesiac The Astoria London Live Amazon.com:Filling the gulf between OK Computer's epic progressive rock and Kid A's skittering electronic theatrics, Hail to the Thief borrows equally from each. Its title implies that this will be a collection filled with songs of anger and dissent, but Radiohead no longer howl at the moon like they did on 1995's The Bends. Instead, they use eloquent metaphors and complicated arrangements to express the uncertainty, fear and anger arising ...
