1. Mansun - Six
Lyrical References include Winnie The Pooh and The Marquis De Sade, and all are included on the front cover too. Six has two parts and an interlude featuring Tom Baker
2. Spiritualized - Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space
Ladies & Gentlemen was packaged as if it was a pill from a pharmacy, and featured Dr John on 17 minute final track Cop Shoot Cop.
3. Sigur Ros - ( )
No album title, no song titles, no information bar a website address on the inlay, lyrics in Icelandic and a made up language and only 8 tracks. Genius.
4. Mogwai - Mogwai Young Team
The debut album from the Scottish instrumentalists is built around two ten minute plus songs, Like Herod and Mogwai Fear Satan. The transition from barely audible guitars to sonic waves is mind blowing.
5. Tool - Lateralus
Tool's third album runs in close to eighty minutes and includes a 'trilogy' of songs, Disposition, Reflection and Triad, to be listened to as one.
6. Talk Talk - Spirit Of Eden
Following three albums of near New Romantic pop, Mark Hollis shunned singles in favour of an album of 4 spiralling tracks. Their record company subsequently dropped them, unjustly.
(PS I just got a Mac and posting pictures like this has become the biggest bitch because I can't seem to resize any of the pictures)
