afterstasis presents an album a day.

i wish i could find more samples as the album is basically split between their funky stuff and the poppier new wave like that song.
regardless, the band ruled at both styles.

So the 2nd disc is funkier? I'll be getting that one too!

no, i mean the actual LP is split pretty evenly between the two styles.
the 2nd disc of the 20th anniversary edition is live and unreleased stuff... i actually don't have it yet myself.

Green On Red - Gas Food Lodging
Genre: Roots Rock/Alt-Country
Year: 1985

These dudes totally laid the foundation for folks like Wilco and Son Volt, and in my opinion released far superior music in the process.
The band came from the paisley underground scene, and it shows from time to time, but otherwise this more or less sounds like The Replacements jamming on some Neil Young and Steve Earle in a bar.

Recommended If You Like: Wilco, Son Volt, The Replacements, Neil Young, Steve Earle, and Uncle Tupelo.

Sample the album (plus the EP that was tacked on to the reissue of this LP) on myspace.

The APB stuff was pretty awesome by the way for people who are interested in APB here are some live videos that are pretty cool.

Adrian Borland - Alexandria
Year: 1989
Genre: Alternative/Pop Rock

The frontman for top-shelf post-punkers The Sound continued releasing really great music after they disbanded and very few paid attention for some reason.
This is his debut and basically should have been a hit record on par with the most popular work from The Cure, U2, or The Church. The album's great for a good drunk cry too and every song is pure gold.

Recommended If You Like: The Sound, The Cure, U2, The Church, Modern English, and The Chameleons.

Low-Quality Samples...

Don Ellis Orchestra - Electric Bath
Year: 1967
Genre: Big Band/Jazz Fusion

I'm not usually a fan of the big band or swing styles of jazz, but this is on a whole other level, in addition to being one of the earliest so-called "third stream" jazz releases and my personal favorite.

Recommended If You Like: Miles Davis, Buddy Rich, Gil Evans, Stan Kenton, Don Cherry, and Maynard Ferguson.
