Faust – Patchwork 1971-2002

Baz – Psychedelic Love

Brought up on the same south London estate as the rampaging So Solid Crew, you might have expected Baz to have become a soul diva or a rap artist, like her sister Monie Love. Instead, under the direction of uber-producer Guy Sigsworth, she's chosen an unashamedly pop path. It would be unfair to call her a black Dido, even if several of the melodies would not have sounded out of place on No Angel. But a female version of Seal wouldn't be far wide of the mark.

The International Noise Conspiracy – Bigger Cages, Longer Chains Ep

Garage rock with an arty twist

Deleyaman – 00

Multi-ethnic mixture of religious, film and dance music by post-punks

Ja Rule – The Last Temptation
