Recycling time. Mainly taken from this thread at ILM.

• Keith Jarrett - Somewhere Before (From 1968 or something. Everything is there already. The touch and the humming.)
• Keith Jarrett - Always Let Me Go (Why the heck do I continue to buy his records after 1982?)
• Laurie Anderson - Live at Town Hall, September 2001 (The two concerts just after 9/11. Chilling.)
• Ani DiFranco - So Much Shouting, So Much Laughter (Quite jazzy and improvisational. She is ok but I am not a fan.)
• Suicide - American Supreme (Phantastic cheap sounding beats. Great trash.)
• Reindeer Section - Son of Evil Reindeer (Scottish indie orchestra. Ok poppy tunes but not great.)
• Mountain Goats - Tallahassee (I preferred the down-to-earth lo-fi All Hail West Texas)
• Go-Betweens - Bright Yellow Bright Orange (Absolutely gorgeous, album of the first two months of 2003, have to check the Cat Power though)
• Bonnie Prince Billy - Master and Everyone (Oldham sounds so much like Nick Drake that I fear that he's going to kill himself next.)
• Beth Gibbons & Rustin' Man - Out of Season (Very good. Gibbons modulates her voice a lot. Low-key and heartbreaking. Nevertheless played to death already.)
• Massive Attack - 100th Window (Amazingly dense. Clash of the civilizations with a conciliatory end I don't see in reality)
• Smiths - Rank (The last official Smiths release I didn't have yet. It's all right. The song versions are different. Live they seem to have sounded less good though.)
• Cat Power - You Are Free (An instant classic, my album of the year up till now)
• Dirty Three - Horse Stories (Reminded me a lot of GYBE!, did the D3 influence them? Overall I was a little disappointed by this. The violin grates occasionally)
• Calla - Televise (Excellent indie rock somewhere between Sonic Youth, Pavement and Yo La Tengo)
• Tom Liwa - Stäfa/CH (It starts with a Nick Drake cover and goes on in the same vein)
• Oum Kalthoum - Diva of Arab Music (A disappointment. Her voice could never ever compete with Billie Holiday's)
• Robert Johnson - Steady Rollin' Man (How could I live without a CD of the incarnation of blues men?)
