Nils Frahm · 2011 Spin it Again - A Berlin apartment, two in the morning, felt threaded through the piano hammers so nobody would complain — and somehow that's the whole record.

Chilly Gonzales · 2010 Spin it Again - Gonzales has spent his whole career hiding how good he actually is behind how clever he is — this is the record where the hiding slips.

Chilly Gonzales · 2005 Spin it Again - The pedal noise under 'Never Stop' is not a mistake, and realizing that changes the whole record.

Talking Heads · 1986 Spin it Again - The one where Talking Heads stopped dissecting America and just let it be strange and enormous and okay.

Codeine · 1992 Spin it Again - While Sub Pop was busy with loud guitars, Codeine quietly made the quietest record on the roster — and it hit harder than most of the rest.

Gastr del Sol · 1995 Spin it Again - The guitarist from Jesus Lizard and the engineer who would later make Wilco's 'Yankee Hotel Foxtrot' made this first — and it sounds like it.

Neil Young & Crazy Horse · 2003 Spin it Again - A concept album recorded in a ranch barn with a band that had been playing together since Nixon — it should not work as well as it does.

Bob Dylan · 1976 Spin it Again - The album Blood on the Tracks gets all the credit, but this is the one with a room full of people who'd follow him anywhere.

Joni Mitchell · 1976 Spin it Again - She drove across the country alone after a breakup and came back with nine songs and Jaco Pastorius on fretless bass — no drummer required.

Stornoway · 2011 Spin it Again - The guy finishing his bird-counting doctorate wrote every song, and somehow that explains everything about why this record sounds the way it does.

Ben Howard · 2014 Spin it Again - Ben Howard walked away from the sound that made him famous and built something stranger — most people heard the first ten minutes and called it a day.

Pentangle · 1968 Spin it Again - Bert Jansch and John Renbourn sharing a guitar track is reason enough, but then Terry Cox barely touches the kit and somehow that's the thing that gets you.

Nick Drake · 1969 Spin it Again - Nick Drake recorded this in a converted Chelsea dairy at night, and you can hear every wall.
