Wasnt sure if u would be Group Therapy or Tristate..

Love both but that album is pure heaven!

I guess it is more diverse, with Hannah, Ashley, Zoe, Tony and myself as well as some pretty great instrumentals Air For Life etc, just feels a little old now. I think the boys did very well with the curse of the 2nd album, I know a few were shocked a little by the direction of GT but for me it was a healthy evolution.

No order.

REM - Automatic for the people

Spiritualized - Ladies and Gentlemen, we are floating in space

Belle and sebastian - The boy with the Arab Strap

Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes

Nirvana - Bleach

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - The Boatman's Call

Radiohead - OK Computer

Johnny Cash - The Legend of Johnny Cash (best of album)

To be honest, I see Oceanlab as a very distinct project from Above & Beyond.

It being centred around Justine, soundwise it doesnt feel like Above & Beyond to me

Oceanlab is for me much more like Motorcycle or Andain for Gabriel & Dresden or Velvetine for Myon & Shane 54.

The Decemberists - The Hazards Of Love

The Velvet Underground - Velvet Underground & Nico

Yes - Going For The One

Shearwater - Animal Joy

Elliott Smith - Figure 8

Kevin Tihista's Red Terror - Don't Breathe A Word

Talk Talk - Spirit of Eden

REM - Murmur

Gorky's Zygotic Mynci - Bwyd Time

Uncle Tupelo - No Depression



God that took some time, I could have done it another time and I would have come up with 6 or 7 different albums.

That's what I meant! It was a good way to get away from making a "pressured" 2nd album in making the Oceanlab album

Excellent choices

good to see the decemberists get the nod mate. much unknown over here, but fab band.

I could have easily plumped for there more commercial albums but to me stuff like The Tain and Hazards Of Love are a bit out there and a kind of concept album, and that sort of thing, when a band thinks outside the box appeals to me massively.



They are my favourite band at present. Though they are 'hibernating' at present what with their lead singer concentrating on his childrens books, The Wildwood Chronicles. There is a kind of spin off bluegrass ensemble featuring the other members of the band entitled Black Pirarieif that is anyones sort of thing.
