Daddy's Highway
3.  Daddy's Highway by Bats

Love [Digipack With Bonus DVDA 5.1 Surround Sound]
8.  Love [Digipack With Bonus DVDA 5.1 Surround Sound] by The Beatles
The list author says:
  "Deceptively titled. It's not a Best of or Collection. It's a trip. Tracks are often blended together, snippets drifting in and out of focus. Has to be heard to be understood."

Odelay
9.  Odelay by Beck

Modern Guilt
11.  Modern Guilt by Beck

Central Reservation
13.  Central Reservation by Beth Orton
The list author says:
  "She undeservedly draws comparisons to Dido, but it's far more musically rich and her songs carry far too much emotional weight to play at casual dinner parties."

#1 Record
14.  #1 Record by Big Star

Substrata Vol.2
17.  Substrata Vol.2 by Biosphere
The list author says:
  "Substrata is the sound of slowly orbiting earth years after humans left it behind. A beautiful timeless masterpiece. (it's just called Vol. 2 here cos it's got some extra tracks)"

Homogenic
18.  Homogenic by Björk
The list author says:
  "If I could only pick one Bjork LP it would be this one. Everything sounds at once natural and artificial and can change from joyful to anguished like a lightswitch."

Music Has The Right To Children (New Version)
20.  Music Has The Right To Children (New Version) by Boards Of Canada
The list author says:
  "It took me months to like this album as much as I do now. It takes a fair few listens but it is worth it. A half-remembered childhood dream played on scrambled synthesizers and drum machines. Superb."
£7.49   Used & New from: £5.68

Dylan (3CD)
21.  Dylan (3CD) by Bob Dylan

For Emma Forever Ago
22.  For Emma Forever Ago by Bon Iver

My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts
23.  My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts by Brian Eno

Another Green World: Remastered
24.  Another Green World: Remastered by Brian Eno

Ambient 1: Music For Airports
25.  Ambient 1: Music For Airports by Brian Eno
The list author says:
  "Ambient 1 isn't meant to hold your attention, it's meant to provide space for thought; overheard not listened to. This will always be in my top 5."
Used & New from: £3.20
