Doc at the Radar Station

Sigur Ros - Agaetis Byrjun
4.  Sigur Ros - Agaetis Byrjun by Sigur Rós

The Berzerker
10.  The Berzerker by Berzerker
The list author says:
  "A Savagely Evil sounding album. Piercingly heavy and genuinely disturbing. Not suitable for dinner parties, unless it’s the guests who are being eaten. These Guys is Mentalistica."

De La Soul Is Dead

Skunkworks
14.  Skunkworks by Bruce Dickinson

The Sound Gallery
15.  The Sound Gallery by Sound Gallery

Moog Indigo
21.  Moog Indigo by Jean-Jacques Perrey
The list author says:
  "Another one that has now become ‘retro-cool’. Pioneering use of the now famous moog synthesiser. I cried with laughter when I first heard ‘gossipo perpetuo’. Smashing stuff."

24.  CRYSTAL PLANET by Joe Satriani
