  1. Bevis Frond _Northern Circular_ latest and greatest from England's last great non rock star.
  2. Flamin' Groovies _Shake Some Action_ Big Star fans should make note of these mid 70's popsters.
  3. Uilab _Fires_ Stereolab and UI do four versions of Eno's Fire. Imagine the possibilities.
  4. Creedence Clearwater Revival _Cosmo's Factory_ I can't believe I only just got this.
  5. Major Stars _Rock Revival_ title says it all-let there be light.
  6. Magnog _More Weather_ massive drone rock emanations in the Ash Ra Temple mold.
  7. Damon and Naomi _Playback Singers_ gorgeous folk pop by two fine individuals.
  8. Eno _Here Comes the Warm Jets_ Kraut pop and art punk converge in one man's brain, circa 1973.
  9. Quad _s/t_ this solo project from Sun Dial main man is a psych guitar masterwork.
  10. David Kilgour and the Heavy Eights _s/t_ simple pop genius, more essential than oxygen.
