Not a proper soundtrack, mind...just the works therein on a CD I burned ages ago. And there's some Lou Reed on it.

Spoiler boxes are your friend.

Dreams Less Sweet, 1983 studio release from London avant-garde/experimental/post-punk act Psychic TV.

Nothing in particular stands out for me on this one--though I do prefer the B-side--but it's much more about memories than music. It takes my right back to my first year at UT Austin in 1990.

...Well, I can't seem to get enough of this incredible track.

Warning: awesome metalcore number incoming.

 

[Tunerguy21]

Came up in rotation for d.notive just now. I like it.

My Nation Underground, the fourth solo album (1988) from rocker Julian Cope, former frontman of Liverpool post-punk act The Teardrop Explodes.

While I haven't actually been keeping track, it's fair to say I've listened to everything else I own from Cope/Teardrop at least once since last spinning this. In fairness, it's not terrible on its own; it just seems like someone not terribly familiar with his work trying to record something that sounds like him.



The first three tracks--"5 O'Clock World" (a loose interpretation of the Vogues song of the same name), "Vegetation," and "Charlotte Anne"--are a powerhouse, with "China Doll" and "I'm Not Losing Sleep" supporting the rest of the album.

"Charlotte Anne" saw moderate success, but I'd point to "Vegetation" as the must-hear--it's just fun.

Going with some old school trance on a Friday!

Come On Feel The Lemonheads, 1993 studio release from Boston alt-rockers The Lemonheads. Highest charting release from the band, despite lacking critical acclaim or cultural significance of their previous album, It's a Shame About Ray.

Personal favorites on the album are "The Great Big No," "Into Your Arms" (cover of the Love Positions track), "Down About It," "I'll Do It Anyway," "Rick James Style," "Being Around," "You Can Take It With You" and "The Jello Fund."

 

[Tajima]

One of the most creative videos I've seen in my life.

 

[GTboyz]

Still miss him.

 

[Omnis]

The new Carpenter Brut album is INSANE.

Apoptygma Berzerk - Until The End Of The World
The epicness of this track cannot be described by words.

I wasn't planning on posting this one, much less writing it up, but I've quoted one of the tracks in my status...so I may as well go whole hog.



Don't Get Weird On Me, Babe, 1991 solo release from Lloyd Cole--formerly of Lloyd Cole and the Commotions--one of the most recognizable alt rock voices of the '80s and '90s (and all time, to be frank).

My go-tos on the album are "Pay For It," "The One You Never Had," "She's A Girl And I'm A Man," "Butterfly" and "There For Her"--a big chunk of music right in the middle.

You know...throw "Margo's Waltz" in there as well. I've never given it its due.

 

[Tunerguy21]

Quite the lengthy one. But good.

 

[Drex124]

Always makes me think of Bladerunner

 

[05XR8]

Takes me back to D'angelo, Erykah Badu, Digable Planets, Zhane, etc. Modern "cool out" music.
