You should jump at this chance to pick up the enormously expanded five-disc CD version, which includes live performances of works by Robert Ashley, Roger Reynolds, Gordon Mumma and other mid-century notables, most of them pretty well recorded.

This is an awkwardly (but beautifully) packaged collection of gospel recordings from both white and black Southern traditions, many of them made in the field during the first part of the 20th century. The accompanying booklet is designed to look like a 19th-century shape-note hymnbook and includes extensive notes on each artist; disc 6 is composed entirely of sermons. Spectacular and essential.

This remastered reissue of Weezer's debut includes a second disc of rarities, B-sides and demos. If you're feeling dumb for failing to notice this album's brilliance the first time around, this is your shot at redemption. (But you'll pay full price for it.)

Austin's finest power-pop trio reunites for this brilliant blast of fresh melodic rock'n'roll air. Not recommended listening during the Dewey recon project, because you'll keep jumping up and dancing around your cubicle.

This is the latest batch in Rhino's excellent Elvis Costello reissue series. Each title is remastered and includes new liner notes, lyrics, and a second disc filled with demo versions, live performances and other bonus material. If you must pick only one, go with GET HAPPY, but all of these should be considered essential additions to any comprehensive popular music collection.

Hey, look. You can get all superior if you want, but the fact is that your library probably really does need a convenient, two-disc retrospective that hits the high points of Kylie Minogue's impressive career as a pioneering dance diva. Notice that her voice improved over time, and that her grooves are consistently compelling. And yes, that's a great version of "The Loco-Motion." Why wouldn't it be? (RA) |

20 (count 'em, 20) songs and instrumental variations from a who's-who of roots reggae, all of them built on the instrumental backing track from the Abyssinians' classic "Satta Massagana." Sounds tedious, you say? Surprisingly, it's not at all. And this is only Volume 1...

Mac Diarmada is the fiddler for the Irish band Téada, and his Sligo-style playing is elegant but unaffected, as are the arrangements on this excellent solo album.
