Bent - Stay The Same

Is this good? I can't tell, but it's definitely weird. Does anyone have suggestions on more intriguing music released in 2003?  Please send me your picks early and often.  I'm hoping to crystallize the zeitgeist of an undefined age, obliquely, with an hour's worth of half-forgotten "hits." Any music in any genre released in 2003 is fair game.

Thanks as ever,
Emmett

Nice up, on the 80's work and thanks as always for your sterling work, Art Decade is always a pleasure of a playlist.

2003....

Jah Wobble & Invaders Of The Heart - English Roots Music (all good)

Sufjan Stevens - Romulus
Broadcast - Haha sound (Minim)
Kaidi Tatham & Dego - Got Me Puzzled

More to come....

Myxomatosis, Scatterbrain/Radiohead
Small time shot away, Prayer for England/Massive Attack
Angels in America Score/Thomas Newman (gorgeous stuff)
Th Lemon of Pink/The Books
The Civil War/Matmos (I was obsessed with this record in 2003!)
Girl Anachronism, Coin-operated Boy/ Dresden Dolls
N.E.W.S/Prince (One of his jazz records - it's pretty great but the tracks are very long ~ 15 minutes each)

no deep digs here, but what a fun year:

amy winehouse - help yourself
dwele - possible
kelis - millionaire (feat. andre 3000)
killer mike - adidas
outkast (big boi) - unhappy

seconds to big b's four tet rec.

and something different: ryuichi sakamoto's derrida soundtrack

Thanks for the suggestions, all, and don't hold back. Abigail - nice to hear from you again! :)

BTW, the opening beats on track you posted reminds me of this.
