Björk - Volta (even if you think you know her, this will surprise)
Jordan Pruitt - No Ordinary Girl (Best singer of the current teenpop crop, no contest. Songs all good to great. No filler.)
Ono - Yes I'm a Witch ("remix project": old vocals, mostly entirely new backing from trendy indie and Wire-friendly acts. Results: variable, but Yoko shines throughout)
Gui Boratto - Chromophobia (Kompakt, you know the drill. Or maybe not. This is colourful and dancefloor-friendly, though still short of banging/boshing. Works well as an alBUM to listen to.)
Low - Drums and Guns (the most un-Low-like record they've ever made! Still very indie though)
Au Revoir Simone - The Bird Of Music (cf. League of Pop: trio of pre-Raphaelite young ladies with casios make dreamy indie-pop, with emphasis on the pop)
Spirit Catcher - Night Vision (slick electrohouse from Belgium, not a million miles from Daft Punk but with their rough edges smoothed off)
Clubbers Guide to 2007 (Ministry of Sound mix from the beginning of the year. All the big club hits from the first five months of this year are present and correct. Love this!)
...and I'll now add the Rihanna alBUM to the above list. I commented on this on your earlier thread today.
Recent purchases that I've only listened to once so far:
Ellen Allien - Fabric 34 mix Fall Out Boy - Infinity on High Rush - Snakes and Arrows Lindstrom & Prins Thomas - Reinterpretations Ghosts - The World Is Outside (probably this will turn out not to be the classic I was hoping, but there are a few tracks as good as the two singles)
