Ok let the old man try this.

Cynic - Traced in Air ( 11/24/08 )
My favorite band of all time, definately an acquired taste. The band got together after their last release in 1994, back with the same style. A jazz/death metal crossover band the pioneers of that genre.

The Sound of Animals Fighting - The Ocean and the Sun ( 9/9/08 )
A mixed band project featuring members of Circa Survive, RX Bandits, Chiodos, The Autumns, Finch, Saosin and others. Progressive psychedlica, often times sounding like three or more songs at once, definately not for the uninitiated.

Calexico - Carried to Dust ( 9/9/08 )
Sometimes I need to relax, this is a great album for that.
