Comments: My choices are in no particular order:

Orgone Box Orgone Box
This fabulous CD was originally released back in 1996 on an obscure Japanese release; fortunately it was rereleased
in 2001 and is one of my favorite CDs of this past year. Combine jangly guitars ala Byrds, late Beatles psychedelia and early Pink Floyd and you get an idea of this bands sound. I love all of the tracks!!

Dress Me Slowly You Am I
One of my favorite Aussie bands of the moment, You Am I's songs combine catchy medlodies, jangly guitars and pristine harmonies. Favorite songs include Get Up which sounds like a Replacements song, Beautiful Girl and Judge Roy.

One Brick Short David Grahame
What is there not to love about this CD? From the moment I listened to it on my laptop I fell in love with each song. If you didn't know any better you would think you were listening to Paul McCartney in 1970! This CD is a gem!!

Into The Sun P76
Is this a Hoodoo Gurus CD? No but P76 also come from Australia and their music has harder
edged power pop sound. This is a CD you have to blast in your car stereo! Favorite tracks are Me
and Her, The Road... and Let's Get Back To Where We Started.

Supermarket Rockfour
This Israeli band captures the late 60's psychedelic sound with their shimmering 12 string guitars, mellotron and sitars. Despite the fact that the CD only has 9 tracks the songs flow together seam-
lessly. Faves include Government,
Powers, Route 66 and Oranges. This is a CD worth tracking down!!

Summer of a Thousand Years The Grip Weeds
This CD immediately grabbed my attention from the first listen. It has all the right ingredients -catchy hook laden melodies, great harmonies, 12 string guitars, mellotron. Are we back in the late 60's? Get this CD or you will regret it.
