Undiscovered Gold and Instinct Buys

[James.]

There's not many more satisfying things when it comes to music than discovering new bands/producers, etc, buying an album on instinct and wondering quite how you'd never heard of them before.

It's not really happened to me for awhile (with the exception of possibly the Cinematic Orchestra but I kind of new about them already).

Ones that do stick in the memory are:

Lamb - Fear of Fours (not looked back since, such a good band blending jazz, drum n bass, "trip hop", etc)

Brothers in Sound - Family is for Sharing (bit Beta Band-ish, a true undiscovered gem of an album. Buy it)

Would be interested to hear other people's instinct buys. I've already benefited from some good recommendations (thanks to Lineker's Left Foot), would be up for hearing some more...
