The debut album from Canadian/Portugese singer-songwriter Nelly Furtado is an ecelctic mix of musical styles.

PJ Harvey's fifth, and possibly best, album sees her venturing away from the electronic experimentation of 1998's 'Is This Desire?' and returning to the purer rock sound prevalent on her early releases. Radiohead's Thom Yorke guests on the duet "This Mess We're In." Winner of the 2001 Mercury Music Prize.

A 20-track compilation of B-sides, studio outtakes, and radio performances from the Mercury Music Prize-winning band.

Seemingly unwilling to stick to a successful formula, Radiohead follow their breakthrough album 'OK Computer' with this much more experimental work (recorded during sessions that also spawned the later-released 'Amnesiac' album), which ventures even further away from conventional song structure and embraces electronica more fully (even sounding at times like Aphex Twin).

Bowie's 1968-1972 BBC radio sessions are compiled onto two discs. Most editions of this album come with a limited edition third disc that consists of a concert recorded in 2000, featuring songs from the '70's, '80's, and '90's.

The debut full-length album from Damon Gough (who records under the Badly Drawn Boy name) earned Britain's Mercury Prize for Best Album in 2000.

This is the final release for At The Drive-In, who later split to form groups Sparta and The Mars Volta.

The second proper album from the Canadian instrumentalists consists of four independent works(each 18-22 minutes long).... yes, that's 2 songs per CD.

The third release from the project that now features New Order's Bernard Sumner and former Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr.

The debut album from The Januaries is heavily influenced by 1960's pop.

The Magnetic Fields' Stephin Merritt returns with a second disc under The 6ths nameplate (following 1995's Wasps' Nests). Like its predecessor, this album features original Merritt compositions sung by guest vocalists, including Gary Numan, Sarah Cracknell, Marc Almond, Bob Mould, and Sally Timms.

Former Galaxie 500 members Damon Krukowski and Naomi Yang unite with Japanese outfit Ghost for an album of dreamy, contemplative folk-rock.

The long-awaited follow-up to the band's 1995 eponymous debut features a guest contribution from The Fall's Mark E. Smith and a cover of Trio's 'Da Da Da.'

The second full-length from the Peter Hook-led band features a Bernard Sumner-esque lead vocalist and a sound that could be mistaken for New Order in places.

The second solo effort from Blur guitarist Graham Coxon, following 1998's 'The Sky Is Too High.'

Former British club DJ David Holmes has been building a name for himself as a composer of soundtracks both real (Steven Soderbergh's "Out of Sight") and imaginary (the previous Holmes albums 'Let's Get Killed' and 'This Film's Crap, Let's Slash The Seats). 'Bow Down' continues that tradition by forming the soundtrack to an as-yet-unproduced screenplay, although it is clearly more song-oriented than its predecessors. Jon Spencer, Bobby Gillespie (Primal Scream), and Martina Topley-Bird (best known for her work on Tricky's albums) are among the guest vocalists.

A five-track EP from the band featuring Christopher Ewen and the Magnetic Fields' Stephin Merritt and Claudia Gonson. Like all previous FBH releases, it features a mix of the song "Hopeless."

This is actually the second LP from Richard Warren (aka Echoboy), who picks up frequent comparisons to the similarly eclectic Beta Band and Badly Drawn Boy.

The band consists of former Luscious Jackson keyboardist Vivian Trimble and Breeders bassist Josephine Wiggs, who previously teamed up on another Lucscious Jackson side project, The Kostars (Wiggs produced their one album).

Bobby Gillespie & co. expand on the harder-edged punk/electronica sound of their previous effort, 'Vanishing Point,' with their most violent effort to date, earning rave reviews in the process and perhaps matching the success of their classic 'Screamadelica.' Contributors here include David Holmes, Bernard Sumner, Kevin Shields and the Chemical Brothers.

The third solo release from the former 'Til Tuesday leader finally made it to record stores in May 2000, after a long journey that saw Interscope refuse to release the album and Mann issue it on her own SuperEgo label (after selling it through mail order and at her live performances). All's well that ends well, though, as Mann gained widespread acclaim for her soundtrack to P.T. Anderson's film "Magnolia" and even better reviews for this album, which contains four of the tracks from the soundtrack as well as nine additional songs.

The third release from the trip-hop/indie/rock/electronic/jazz/pop band named after the first dog in outer space.

In the UK, the group is signed to Warp Records (although they don't sound too much like the other bands on Warp's all-electronic roster).

Spell MDFMK backwards and what do you get? Well, KMFDM fans know the answer, and may find the sound of this Sasha K.-led industrial band to be remarkably familiar.
