8 - Magnet - On Your Side

This is a beautiful album. Truly beautiful. Even Johansen is Magnet and he is amazing. Think ethereal, electronic brit pop as the base and then add in an amazing mix of instrumentation which not only adds immensely interesting complexities, but also an organic quality which helps to root the entire thing. The first song is bittersweet and gorgeous, and when I read he plays all the instruments himself, including the horns... I was speechless. My insides hurt everytime I listen to this.
