| Favorite Discoveries Of 2007
Albums that didn't come out in 2007, but I just got and loved. | | 1 |  | Elliott Smith
XO
I don't know what took me so long to get into Elliott, but his music is brilliant and XO is the pinnacle of his music that I have thus far. | | 2 |  | Trilok Gurtu and the Frikyiwa Family
Farakala
Trilok Gurtu is a godly percussionist, and his collaboration with the Frikyiwa Family's music makes for one amazing album. | | 3 |  | Yusef Lateef
Eastern Sounds
As I've really gotten into Eastern music lately, this album really helped me transition from Western to Eastern music. | | 4 | | Arvo Part
Alina
Hard to listen to because its so minimalistic, but it really accompanies a lonely mood better than anything else. | | 5 |  | Imogen Heap
Speak for Yourself
This woman has a great voice and a mind for pop music like none of her contemporaries. | | 6 |  | The Red Paintings
Walls [EP]
After endless searching, I finally got a hold of this and it's really awesome music. The cover of Mad World is one of the best. | | 7 | | Nitin Sawhney
Beyond Skin
Such an emotional, poignant album with incredible variety. Review coming soon for details. | | 8 |  | DJ Shadow
Live! In Tune and On Time
Apparently Shadow has a great live show as well. | | 9 |  | Converge
Jane Doe
This is one of the few metalcore albums I actually like. | | 10 |  | Ani DiFranco
Evolve
It's amazing that Ani could create even one enjoyable album with the rate at which she puts this stuff out, but this is low-key, subdued, and pretty cool stuff. | |

06.16.07 | I can't find the Walls EP anywhere. Imogen Heap is absolutely amazing though. | Electric City
06.17.07 | I want 6 so hard. | Phil
06.17.07 | Apparently the red paintings have or are getting a new EP out. They also have a DVD coming out. I got XO as well and its pretty darn good. Frou Frou is awesome with Imogen Heap so I may get her solo stuff. | MrKite
06.17.07 | I have been listening to XO about three times a day for the last week. |
