This is the debut album from the Norweigian electronic duo geniuses Röyksopp (Torbjørn Brundtland and Svein Berge). This album definitely changed the way i hear music, Erlend did vocals on "Poor Leno" and "Remind Me" two great singles. If you haven't heard this, you should.
Sub Pop Records..... Drawing sonic inspiration from the Velvet Underground as well as the studio experimentation of Lee Hazlewood, each track is a study in expansion, centered loosely around chiming guitars and swirling melodies. Olsen’s hazy croon is lifted by the smooth harmonies of Westcott, and both reel in the influence of Nancy Sinatra between the familiar crash of a tambourine and layers of guitar.

(1999) Tigrigna MusicEthiopiques is a series of compact discs featuring Ethiopian and Eritrean singers and musicians. Many of the Ethiopiques CDs compile various singles and albums released during the 1960s and 1970s in Ethiopia. Some of the CD's focus on traditional music, while others highlight individual musicians or specific styles.
DJ Kicks started out in 1995 as a compilation of electronic DJ club style mixes in the techno or house genres, with the then-novel twist of being targeted to a home listening audience. It's a sequence of musical tracks typically mixed together to appear as one continuous track. This album has a lot of good mixes, even one with Erlend covering The Smiths song "There's a light that never goes out" and more.

Jimmy Tamborello(Dntel) is also part of Figurine, an electro-pop band consisting of Tamborello as James Figurine, Meredith Figurine and David Figurine. The three were high school friends and created music based mostly on the theme of long distance love. This is The Heartfelt their second and best album, i would have to say.
James Figurine also realeased a solo album entitled Mistake Mistake Mistake Mistake. This album is more of a downtempo electronica album, it has 10 songs with additional help from John Tejada, Jenny Lewis, Geoff McFetridge, Morgan Nagler, Erlend Øye and Sonya Westcott.
This is Dent May's first album, it came out like two weeks ago. It's said that Dent May is influenced by the music from Serge Gainsbourg and Lee Hazlewood. I think this is a really good album, ohhh and Lee Hazlewood is pretty bad ass.
Another fresh signing to the FatCat roster, Ten Kens eponymously titled debut album was released in September 2008. Familiar yet idiosyncratic, with an already finely honed sensibility towards conveying their own volatile mix of bittersweet melody and spiked alt-rock, their sound is by turns introspective and belligerent, shot through with a pensive air and a contrary swagger, relayed via cavernous reverb.
Well this here is a definitive classic, it's RJD2's solo debut release in 2002 with El-P's Definitive Jux Records. RJD2 is a music producer/turntablist/singer/Dj... In this album there's allot of samples from different things like:
