A Listmania! list by Amazon.co.uk's Music Editor
 
Laika Come Home
1.  Laika Come Home by Gorillaz
The list author says:
  "To call this a remix album doesn't do it justice. A "reworking" of the original Gorillaz album, done in a dub/reggae/triphop style, which has taken on a life of it's own. This wasn't off our stereo."
£6.10   Used & New from: £3.93
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (12 customer reviews)

Selmasongs
2.  Selmasongs by Björk
The list author says:
  "Genius, highly emotive soundtrack to the film. Incredible string arrangements by Vince Mendoza and a wonderful duet with Thom Yorke."
Used & New from: £0.95
5.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (1 customer review)

Mezzanine: Limited Edition
3.  Mezzanine: Limited Edition by Massive Attack
The list author says:
  "This highly influential album from Bristol's finest really caused a stir when it came out. They always had the most original approach to rhythm programming and this took them to an even higher level."
£5.42   Used & New from: £0.31
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (57 customer reviews)

Black Sea
4.  Black Sea by XTC
The list author says:
  "I used to know someone who worked for an Italian record company and in a thick Russian/Italian accent, he would declare that Andy Partridge is a genius. I think he may have had a point."
£5.44   Used & New from: £4.14
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (10 customer reviews)

Stanley Road
5.  Stanley Road by Paul Weller
The list author says:
  "Memories of the South of France, driving around with the family, listening to "You do something to me". I love the sound of this record - wholesome and underplayed."
£5.42   Used & New from: £0.26
4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (16 customer reviews)

Fear of Music
6.  Fear of Music by Talking Heads
The list author says:
  "This really got my head spinning (and my hips swinging). It's a perfect record - quirky, intelligent, kooky, insane, and........coming right before Remain in Light which could also be in my Top Ten."
Used & New from: £2.84
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (15 customer reviews)

Outside [Digibook Expanded Edition]
7.  Outside [Digibook Expanded Edition] by David Bowie
The list author says:
  "I could pick three or four Bowie albums. This one is vastly underrated. The whole package is fascinating with the artwork by Bowie himself. This is verging on a concept album, produced by Brian Eno."
Used & New from: £29.99
4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (6 customer reviews)

Palookaville
8.  Palookaville by Fatboy Slim
The list author says:
  "One of those albums where you wonder - how the hell did they do this! This is the best Fat Boy Slim album as far as I'm concerned."
£1.75   Used & New from: £0.03
4.3 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (21 customer reviews)

My Life in the Bush of Ghosts
9.  My Life in the Bush of Ghosts by Brian Eno
The list author says:
  "This album was way ahead of its time. Before computers and samplers made it easy to cut and paste, these guys concocted a series of rhythmic and filmic landscapes using odd spoken phrases as the focus"
Used & New from: £1.24
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (10 customer reviews)

Rain Tree Crow: Remastered
10.  Rain Tree Crow: Remastered by Rain Tree Crow
The list author says:
  "In 1991, the group Japan reformed for one album, choosing to release it under another name. This is a largely improvised work - edited, overdubbed and rationalised in to a seamless work of art."
£6.60   Used & New from: £4.32
4.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (5 customer reviews)
