Heavy Maple CD (2009)
 $13.89 
With HEAVY MAPLE, Adrien Rodes (aka Rec.tangle) has delivered a convincing debut album that puts his work in an area that is accessible yet slightly off the beaten track. Rodes' brand of instrumental music has a strong Krautrock flavor (of the Cluster/Harmonia variety, with hints of Popol Vuh), but with a resolutely kitsch element, too.

Harmonium CD (2009)
$13.89 
Issued in 2009, HARMONIUM introduces the world to the Soundcarriers, an indie-rock ensemble from Nottingham, England. Often coming across as a more organic and less Gallic Stereolab, the quartet specializes in dreamy pop, as evinced on the wispy "Caught By

Perfumed Lands CD (2006)
$12.59
Unlike so many bands of the '90s and early 2000s inspired by and sounding like the Smiths who embarrass themselves with faux-Anglo accents, goofy lyrics, and dated production, the Isles have crafted a strong, slow-burning grower for their debut. Album

For The Lonely Hearts Of The Cosmos CD (2005)
$13.85
It's an evocative enough title and the debut by one-man band Baikonour, aka Jean-Emmanuel Krieger, does its best to live up to it. The space race theme in band and album name, not to mention cover art, hits the ground

Working For A Nuclear Free City CD (2006)
$7.35
This Manchester-based quartet's excellent debut, in its own way, falls into the line of noted post-punk luminaries that the city has been known for over the years. Unlike the recent rash of groups that feel content to only rework the

No Fighting In The War Room CDs (2007) With DVD
$13.95
Say "taut arrangements from a post-punk-inspired band, with clipped guitar riffs and brisk rhythms and a slightly yowling singer," and most, at least in 2007, might fall asleep or look elsewhere without thinking further of it. No question that Harrisons

Kids Aflame CD (2008)
$14.19
Kids Aflame is the debut full-length by Arms, aka Brooklynite Todd Goldstein. Inspired by a love of "sad/weird/insular genius types" like Neil Young, Stephin Merritt, and David Byrne, Arms' music cloaks catchy tunes in fuzzy, echo-laden production and Goldstein's melodramatic,
