Modest Mouse - Ocean breathes salty

Excellent choices. I love everything I've heard so far from these guys. Can't wait for a full length release from them.

I agree with a lot of the earlier posts.

I'll add: "Fade" by Seven Color Sky (produced by The Psychedelic Furs' John Ashton), as well as "Just How Shy A Girl Can Be" and "Something So Good" from the first SCS disc. Not widely distributed but out there on numerous web sites as downloads.
