Strange Hours + Jezebel (Singles) - Recoil

Alan Wilder of Depeche Mode recorded some pretty amazing stuff when he worked alone. He was responsible for the band's rich, dark organic sound at the time he was with them. His solo act, Recoil sees him with his feet set firm in his own sub-genre of trip-hop, spoken word, cinematic glorious gush.
Here is a couple of singles from his 2000 album Liquid with remixes and B-sides.

The Crying Light - Antony & the Johnsons

I was only recently introduced to Antony & the Johnsons, and what first gripped me was their cover of Knockin' On Heavens Door from the I'm Not There soundtrack.
The Crying Light is their 3rd studio album to date, released earlier this year. A truly mesmerising album. I get the feeling I'm listening to something completely fresh here.
Antony's unique falsetto vocals and haunting melodies set the scene for an iridescent sojourn into nature and back.

Barb4ry - Ez3kiel

Founded in 1994, EZ3kiel is a magnet-Dub band originating from Tours, France. Barb4ry is the latest offering from the group and finds them lurking in dark dubby corners surrounded by broken beats and the occasional lingering spoken word. Some credible production going on here.

The Greatest - Cat Power

This is the first of Cat Power that I've heard. I have to say it hits a certain soft spot. The first I heard of Chan Marshall's voice was on Dirty Three's Cinder (below). This will get many more listens.
