The Beta Band - The Three E.P.'s (1998)


Combining their first three EPs into a single compilation was a brilliant idea for these Scottish indie rockers dabbling in neo-psychedelia and electronica. 

One of the finer releases on either side of the pond of the late 90s.

Kings Of Convenience - Riot On An Empty Street (2004)


When I'm in a foul mood, this is one of the albums I put on. It has that certain something that creates just the right amount of perspective shift until I'm right sized again.

Leslie Feist also appears on two tracks; this is really a pretty record, one of my favorite pop albums of the decade...
