this youtube video may have turned me off of your recommendations permanently.

I absolutely abhor that video as well, as I previously mentioned. Of course, it's your loss anyways

RBX—The RBX Files (1995)
Despite the fact that it starts off with two consecutive intro skits and one of the bitchiest diss tracks ever recorded, this is really a pretty good album. So good, in fact, that I'm a little surprised I've never really heard anything about it before. Mood-wise I guess I'd compare it to Ice Cube since it's a mix of gangsta songs and socially conscious songs sprinkled with a sizable amount of five percenter silliness. That's not to say it sounds like Ice Cube though, RBX has pretty great style of rapping that's all his own. Definitely worth a listen if you like early to mid 90s west coast gangsta stuff.

Joy of a Toy is another of the great Soft Machine alumni albums. Light, folky, and at times surreal, psychedelic pop.

The Dukes of Stratosphear was simply XTC recording under a pseudonym, giving them an excuse to record a psychedelic tribute to the 60s. Though I daresay they did too good a job, because tracks like Mole from the Ministry supercede bands from the time. I love this EP.

Stereolab-Emporer Tomato Ketchup
Possibly my favourite Marxist post-modern pop album of 1996.

Bat For Lashes - Two Suns

I had seen Bat For Lashes mentioned occasionally around here and finally checked her out. Gorgeous album...it is exactly what I was looking for last night. I was getting a bit stressed out and it was starting to get overwhelming right when "Peace of Mind" played. Man, I needed that. I have such a huge crush on Natasha Kahn now.

I've never listened to the EP individually, just the comp that includes the EP. "Mole from the Ministry" in indeed a great song. "25 O'Clock" gets on my nerves a bit though, but overall they were pretty great.

Dug out a bunch of old CDs & came across this.
Reminded me of the days when I was a sexually confused 13 year old with no taste and this felt like the coolest album in the world.

Happy days.
