A Tribe Called Quest: Anthology
It's almost a cliché at this point, but listening to The Long Ryders, it's impossible not to think of the group as the missing link between the '60s country-rock of the Byrds and Flying Burrito Brothe
Rancid: Life Won't Wait

The High Llamas: Cold And Bouncy
High Llamas frontman Sean O'Hagan has never hidden his admiration of the music of The Beach Boys' Brian Wilson: His group's output doubles as an extended tribute to the sound of The Beach Boys circa P
Plaid: Not For Threes
Before electronica became a household word, England's Warp label was releasing disc after disc of ingenious bleeps and atmospheric bloops. The music was soon dubbed ambient, or intelligent, techno bec
