I also nominate Thomas Dolby's ALIENS ATE MY BUICK. Half of it is killing, but I forgot until Mr trenkel shook a cobweb loose. Eeeeeerie... I just finished cobbling a Dolby mix together to take with me on the train to work a few days ago, and while I wouldn't put him on the "artists you wouldn't have expected could make a great album" list, I was sort of marvelling at the brilliance of about half of this disc. A tiny fraction less than that of all of his other albums also manages to achieve orbit... gawd, I miss that guy. (Checking the Headspace site recently has been almost heartbreaking... he's offering seminars in creating polyphonic ringtones for cell phones these days.) (On an utterly trivial note, I also confessed to a group of students the other day that, if I ever break down and form a band, the first thing we'll record will be a cover of "The Ability to Swing".)
