Massive Attack - Heligoland

Massive Attack's blend of catchiness, contrariness and cool is as alluring as ever on 'Heligoland'.

Keith Mullins - The Great Atlantic

Mullins packs plenty into his stories of loss, mistakes made and getting on with it.

Gorillaz - Plastic Beach

As is the nature with albums as diverse as this in style and contributors, 'Plastic Beach' can be patchy in parts, but the sheer versatility and depth of this sprawling work are its saviours.
