Alanis Morissette crashed into pop music's collective consciousness in the mid-1990s as a woman scorned, carrying loads of resentment along with her alt-pop leanings. Morissette's fourth studio album, SO-CALLED CHAOS, reveals that she has come a long way from the days of "You Oughta Know," thanks, in part, to the healing powers of love. In this case, actor Ryan Reynolds is the object of her affection, and Morissette embarks on an in-depth exploration of the various aspects of romance.

’BEAUTIFUL FUTURE’ is Primal Scream’s ninth studio album and their first for B-Unique. The bulk of the album was produced by Björn Yttling [Peter, Björn and John] and Paul Epworth (Bloc Party) and includes the incredible first single ‘Can’t Go Back’.   The album features guest collaborations from Lovefoxx of CSS, Josh Homme from Queens Of the Stone Age and folk legend Linda Thompson. As you would expect from one of Britain’s most exciting and inventive bands ‘BEAUTIFUL FUTURE’ displays a heady mix of genre crunching taking in Philly soul, dark electro, accelerated rock'n'roll riffs and pure British pop, all given that particular Scream edge.

With her legacy obscured by tawdry tales of strange drugs in even stranger places, it is easy to forget that Stevie Nicks is a legend first and foremost for her music. Her formidable songwriting genius (she penned many of the most enduring Fleetwood Mac songs), her post-flower child mix of Mists of Avalon and Hollywood decadence, and her uniquely husky vibrato made her one of the planet's biggest rock stars from the mid 1970s through the mid '80s. Both with Fleetwood Mac and as a solo artist, she practically lived at the top of the charts for a decade.

Mastodon has taken hold of the leadership of the New Wave of Progressive Heavy Metal. The band's 2006 major-label debut Blood Mountain spun off a Grammy nomination and earned Top 5 Best Album Of The Year nods from Kerrang!, Revolver, and Metal Hammer, and a Top 10 at Rolling Stone. Now Crack The Skye, its fourth original studio album, mines subject matter from czarist Russia and astral travel to out-of-body experiences and Stephen Hawking's theories on wormholes for an unrepentantly heavy aural assault that will shake the heavens.

This concert was recorded live on Marvin Gaye's first European tour in 1976. Filmed in Holland Edenhall Concert Hall in Amsterdam before a sell-out audience, this show, preserved now for prosperity, was one of the rare live performances captured on film.

'+' is the debut album from young Yorkshire folk-pop artist, Ed Sheeran. He was signed to Atlantic after taking himself off to LA and playing countless open mic nights, where he was discovered by Jamie Foxx. Ed's warm, mature-sounding voice drives this album of soulful, melodic songs, often featuring electronic beats. Includes the haunting single "The A Team".

MAGNOLIA - MUSIC FROM THE MOTION PICTURE (CD)

Mogwai’s eagerly anticipated ninth studio album, ‘Every Country’s Sun' is their first studio album since 2014’s ‘Rave Tapes’, and sees them reuniting with producer Dave Fridmann for the first time since 2001’s acclaimed ROCK ACTION LP.

On 2006's GOODBYE ALICE IN WONDERLAND, Jewel Kilcher dusts off her folk-influenced singer/songwriter outfit and wears it confidently, as if her previous album, the beat-driven and blatantly pop-oriented 0304, was just some strange, brightly colored dream. In fact, this outing most obviously echoes Jewel's debut, PIECES OF YOU, with its chiming melodies and soul-searching themes. The record opens with a buoyant, catchy instant Jewel classic, "Again and Again," while the subsequent "Long Slow Slide" evokes depression in a disarmingly beautiful way. "Good Day" shifts from light, playful verses to a bold, majestic chorus, and the energetic "Satellite" sounds remarkably like a Sheryl Crow tune, revealing that Kilcher has retained a bankable pop/rock sensibility, even as she steps back from the gloss of 0304. Though GOODBYE ALICE IN WONDERLAND is rooted in highly confessional lyrics, its musical scope is the widest of any Jewel outing, arguably making it her most immediately appealing album.
