The Return of The Durutti Column
1.  The Return of The Durutti Column by Durutti Column
The list author says:
  "My favourite Durutti Column album only by virtue of being the first I heard. Hypnotic, simple, heartbreaking and very beautiful. 'Beginning' could be an unused track from Hal Hartley's 'Trust'."

The Crumbling the Antiseptic Beauty/Splendour of Fear
2.  The Crumbling the Antiseptic Beauty/Splendour of Fear by Felt
The list author says:
  "Crumbling the Antiseptic Beauty - slow drums, jangling guitars and wistful vocals. Songs for awkward/quirky loner days in a sultry summer or majestic winter."
Used & New from: £15.00

All Saints: Collected Instrumentals 1977-1999
3.  All Saints: Collected Instrumentals 1977-1999 by David Bowie

4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (11 customer reviews)

Bubbles
4.  Bubbles by The Free Design
The list author says:

Comic Strip
5.  Comic Strip by Serge Gainsbourg

4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (4 customer reviews)

L'Histoire de Melody Nelson
6.  L'Histoire de Melody Nelson by Serge Gainsbourg
The list author says:
  "Gainsbourg in a darker mood ; concept album centred around muse Melodie Nelson/ Jane Birkin. Operatic and classical in feel, yet seems new and wholly original. Very kinky!"

5.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (8 customer reviews)

Songs of Innocence and Despair
7.  Songs of Innocence and Despair by Langley Music Schools Project

Spotlight on

Tilt
11.  Tilt by Scott Walker
