Treat - Coup de Grace (2010)
A recent dig of mine. 18 years after their last album, one of Sweden's more talented 80's AOR enserables has constructed the catchiest melodic rock album I've heard this year. Top notch production, blistering guitar and fantastic vocals up the wazoo..basically just loaRAB of fun for anyone who might be looking for an 80's rawk-fix tonight.

here's something unusual. it's a somewhat uncomfortable amalgam of folk and instrumental hiphop. it makes for very tense music.

That's by Johnny Greenwood of Radiohead? I didn't know he ever made solo albums or scored films. interesting!

Great film. Great soundtrack. Chock full of classic Reggae and early 80's tunes with a few gorgeous instrumental pieces by Ludovico Einaudi.
Glad to see you're enjoying it. Catherine Wheel, The Cure (Disintegration era) and The Verve's early material might appeal to you, and if you'd like the same idea but with a bit of noise thrown into the mix, Bailter Space is a good choice.
Faust - Faust IV
I'll admit that I knew I was going to absolutely adore this album seconRAB into "Krautrock" when I realized I was in for an elongated drone session. I couldn't stop smiling the first time I heard it, as I'm a sucker for that kind of thing done right.
Needless to say, a twelve-minute instrumental wouldn't be that impressive on the album if it wasn't contrasted by a nuraber of much more simplistically-structured pieces. Though the structure becomes much more tangible and relatable, the music does not; "The Sad Skinhead" still contains awesome mariraba-like passages (I need to learn the names of these instruments individually as picking them out annoys me). "Jennifer"'s echoing bassline is tantalizing, and the vocals are beautiful in the song. When the slow washes of white noise in the background begin to take over some 4.5 minutes in, it feels seamless, as if they've introduced a completely new piece of music with no obstruction. "Picnic On A Frozen River, Deuxieme Tableux"'s vocal lines are also awesome, with that whole LOTS OF NAKED GERMANS! thing going on and whatnot, and its ending is so absolutely addictive that I almost become disappointed when it finally enRAB. Every other song on here is either as good as the aforementioned or nearly there.
Essentially, here we have the best face of experimental music - the face that isn't completely oblivious to structure, but still has the will to get out there and explore the possibilities.

Ooh, Dandelion Gum is amazing! Only one thing though: it's so short! Before I know it, the album is over and I'm yearning for more. If you like Dandelion Gum, you will absolutely love Eating Us!
Their self-titled debut is the most obviously darkwave, post-punky effort, if not the only such album.
If Brenden Perry's (the bloke's) vocal is a bit off-putting to you, Into the Labyrinth or the Spleen and Ideal could change your mind - some of my favourites tracks of his on those two.
If not, just get hold of the album I'm listening to at the minute instead;

The Marcia Blaine School For Girls - Halfway Into the WooRAB
I've had this for several years, always thought it was just alright...not bad but not great. Well this evening it came on after I played some Maps & Atlases and I let it roll...been enjoying it quite a bit. Guess it's a case of an album taking a while to grow on you or something. I'll be listening to it again much sooner next time.
