From best to worst
>Ground-Zero - Plays Standards
I could gush about this thing for hours, but I'll just say that anything that can be called Avant-Prog, Turntablism/plunderphonics, noise rock, avant-garde jazz, etc has to be interesting. Just as good if not better than Ver. 1.28.
>Can - The Peel Sessions
I enjoy some of late-70s Can work, but felt it was missing a lot. This is where a lot of those jams are fully realized into thought out songs, at least until the last two tracks, which are just okay.
>Talk Talk - The Colour of Spring
The best of their non-post rock era. Moved away from the new wave and brought more complex melodies in, but for some reason I just didn't love it as much as I thought I should.
>Unexpect - In a Flesh Aquarium
Chaotic avant prog metal that is usually more quirky than technical, but not always.
>Talk Talk - It's My Life
I actually really enjoyed the New Wave-y feel, but it feels slightly less realized than their next album.
>Stereolab - Mars Audiac Quintet
The kraut influence is again really apparent, but I felt like every other song had the same formula with a synth playing a few chords in the background, and horns or something coming in half way through the track. Fun but predictable.
>Slowdive - Souvlaki
A lot of really beautiful parts, but I can't seem to like these guys like other shoegaze acts. They can craft some good melodies, but only on about half of their tracks on this album.
>The The - Soul Mining
Some great melodies on here, but nothing of much substance. I enjoyed the post-punk sounding parts, but by halfway through most of these songs I felt like the track was done doing anything interesting. Very very okay.
>Slowdive - Pygmalion
While their previous album had at least half of the tracks I enjoyed, this one had maybe three. Definitely lost my interest after song two, other than maybe track eight.
>Tigers Jaw - s/t
It blurs the line between emo and pop punk in the worst way possible.
