Read on for the finer detail...


1. The Silvertones - 'Financial Crisis'


Lee Perry produced reggae to sooth away those recession blues. Find it on a compilation albym entitled 'Produced and Directed By The Upsetter'.


2. Stereolab - 'Ping Pong'



A classic from their 1994 'Mars Audiac Quintet' album, and a pretty stinging, sarcastic but cogent critique of global capitalism from everyone's favourite Marxist pop futurists.

3. Joanna Newsom - '81'


Everybody's talkin'.... and quite rightly so. Ms Newsom serves up some more stunning work. Taken from her triple album, 'Have One On Me', which gets released at the end of the month.

4. Pantha Du Prince - 'The Splendour'


Chilly minimal electro perfectly pitched for this glacial winter weather. Taken from the forthcoming 'Black Noise' record on Rough Trade.

5. Bachelorette - 'The National Grid'


More goodness from Drag City, Bachelorette hails from New Zealand and makes some blissfully blasted electronic hymns.

6. Grouper - 'Vessel'


Liz Harris is becoming unapproachably flawless in her output these days. Unapproachably mysterious too, which is fine by me, as music this good speaks for itself.

Grouper @ MySpace


7. Frog Eyes - 'A Flower In A Glove'


Frog Eyes have just announced a new album, 'Paul's Tomb: A Triumph', to be released April on Dead Oceans. This is the song that opens the record and features the band at their labyrinthine best.

8. Emeralds - 'Up In The Air'


Continuing Sleephouse's exploration in the recently resurgent ambient music scene, we turn up this little gem (pun intended). Emeralds hail from Cleveland, Ohio and this comes from last year's 'What Happened' record.

9. James Blackshaw - 'Cross'


James Blackshaw makes glorious instrumental chamber music, touched equally by back porch folk musicianship and the concert hall orchestra. John Fahey is a very easy comparison to make, but when I use that comparison it's meant as a high compliment.
