WOLF EYES, "FUCK PETE LARSEN"

This particularly cruel, sustained assault on the senses was originally issued in a run of 600 LPs in 2002. After listening to Fuck Pete Larsenthrough several times on headphones, then on my stereo cranked up loudenough to scare the entire apartment building and prompt a police call,I've come to the conclusion that it's probably not a good idea to pissoff Wolf Eyes the way Pete Larsen must have.

Judee Sill, "Dreams Come True"

After the great digital reissues of Judee Sill's legendary pair of 1970s albums on Rhino Handmade last year, and the superb vinyl facsimile editions on 4 Men With Beards, the Water label puts the icing on the cake with this outstanding double-disc set containing, among other things, Judee's never-before-released third album Dreams Come True.

The Angels of Light, "Sing Other People"

Followers of Michael Gira's storied career might have anticipated his latest work with The Angels of Light as a natural reduction of his emotional approach to songwriting to its most basic form.

LCD SOUNDSYSTEM, "YR CITY'S A SUCKER"

The third platter of stinky, petroleum-derived vinyl recently releasedon the painfully hip DFA label is this one from LCD Soundsystem. JamesMurphy's pet project has elicited some amazing, epochal dance singlesin the past—I'm thinking here of "Losing My Edge," "Yeah" and "BeatConnection"—which is why his long-awaited LP released earlier this yearon EMI could not help but come as something of a disappointment.

Roots Manuva, "Awfully Deep"
