1	Songs in the Key of X: Music from and Inspired by 'the X-Files' (1996) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist This album purports to be an attempt at recursion by the creator of The X-Files, Chris Carter -- songs inspired by the show that he hopes will provide further inspiration for the show (just as Nick Cave's "Red Right Hand" did for the "Ascension" episode.) Contributions here include Mark Snow, with the title music, the Foo Fighters with a grand ... see all copies from £2.49! new only from £6.85!
2	The Best of Elvis Costello: The First 10 Years (2007) more music like this by Elvis Costello add to wishlist Six years after the commencement of a major Elvis Costello reissue campaign at Rhino, his catalog transferred over to Universal, which had been releasing new Elvis music since 1998's Painted from Memory. Like every one of his previous two big catalog shifts -- a campaign with Rykodisc/Demon in 1994, a jump to Rhino in 2001 -- the 2007 series is ... see all copies from £6.42! new only from £8.40!
3	Return of the Grievous Angel: A Tribute to Gram Parsons (1999) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Although he's not as well known outside music circles as Jimi Hendrix or Kurt Cobain, the early death of Gram Parsons was arguably just as great a loss. Parsons' country-rock hybrid became a touchstone for artists from the Rolling Stones to Elvis Costello to the '90s "alternative country" giants Uncle Tupelo and the Jayhawks. In addition to his ... see all copies from £8.10! new only from £11.43!
4	The Sopranos: Peppers & Eggs (Music From the HBO Original Series) (2001) more music like this by Original Television Soundtrack add to wishlist At the end of each episode of The Sopranos, a different song plays under the credits. Sometimes the song has been featured elsewhere in the episode, sometimes it is first heard at the end. What the songs have in common is that none of them are mentioned in the credits. Viewers may recognize the familiar ones, a song by Otis Redding, say, or Them's ... see all copies from £4.51! new only from £11.51!
5	My Aim Is True (1977) more music like this by Elvis Costello add to wishlist Elvis Costello was as much a pub rocker as he was a punk rocker and nowhere is that more evident than on his debut, My Aim Is True. It's not just that Clover, a San Franciscan rock outfit led by Huey Lewis (absent here), back him here, not the Attractions; it's that his sensibility is borrowed from the pile-driving rock & roll and folksy ... see all copies from £3.71! new only from £5.49!
6	For the Stars (2001) more music like this by Anne Sofie von Otter & Elvis Costello add to wishlist For the Stars is the kind of record rock critics tend to instinctively praise because they just aren't sure if they get it, and they're afraid to lay themselves on the line. If they pan it, well, they're just junk-addled boors. If they praise it, they risk seeming uninformed, since they don't really know if it works as a classical work or not. The ... see all copies from £3.11! new only from £5.13!
7	Painted from Memory (1998) more music like this by Elvis Costello & Burt Bacharach add to wishlist Elvis Costello and Burt Bacharach first collaborated on "God Give Me Strength," a sweeping ballad that functioned as the centerpiece in Allison Anders' Grace of My Heart. It was a stunning song in the tradition of Bacharach's classic '60s work and it was successful enough that the composers decided to collaborate on a full album, Painted from ... see all copies from £3.11! new only from £8.07!
8	Spike (1989) more music like this by Elvis Costello add to wishlist Throughout his career Elvis Costello has always been prolific; thus it was surprising, even given the change in record labels for the US, when he took a whole 20 months between Blood & Chocolate and this follow-up. But the musical growth he exhibits makes the wait worthwhile. The musical settings range from the stark folk of "Tramp the Dirt Down" ... see all copies from £3.11! new only from £6.25!
9	Get Happy!! (1980) more music like this by Elvis Costello & the Attractions add to wishlist Get Happy!! was born as much from sincere love for soul as it was for Elvis Costello's desire to distance himself from an unfortunate verbal faux pas where he insulted Ray Charles in an attempt to get Stephen Stills' goat. Either way, it resulted in a 20-song blue-eyed soul tour de force , where Costello doesn't just want to prove his love, he ... see all copies from £3.06! new only from £5.80!
10	Armed Forces (1979) more music like this by Elvis Costello & the Attraction add to wishlist After releasing and touring the intense This Year's Model, Elvis Costello quickly returned to the studio with the Attractions to record his third album, Armed Forces. In contrast to the stripped-down pop and rock of his first two albums, Armed Forces boasted a detailed and textured pop production, but it was hardly lavish. However, the more ... see all copies from £4.75! new only from £8.44!
11	When I Was Cruel (2002) more music like this by Elvis Costello add to wishlist Given the flurry of activity from Elvis Costello at the turn of the century -- concerts, guest appearances, reissues, a movie role that was barely seen outside of off-hours on BET -- it's hard to believe that he spent four years without releasing an album of new compositions...and if you don't count the Bacharach collaboration, it's been a full ... see all copies from £3.11! new only from £7.31!
12	North (2003) more music like this by Elvis Costello add to wishlist North, Elvis Costello's 20th album of new material, follows the deliberately classicist When I Was Cruel by a mere year, but it feels more the sequel to 1998's Burt Bacharach collaboration, Painted From Memory, or even 1993's roundly ignored classical pop experiment, The Juliet Letters. Costello has abandoned clanging guitars and drums of Cruel -- ... see all copies from £3.74! new only from £4.68!
13	Trust (1981) more music like this by Elvis Costello & the Attractions add to wishlist Following the frenzied pop-soul of Get Happy!!, Elvis Costello & the Attractions quickly returned to the studio and recorded Trust, their most ambitious and eclectic album to date. As if he were proving his stylistic diversity and sophistication after the concentrated genre experiment of Get Happy!!, Costello assembled Trust as a stylistic tour ... see all copies from £4.08! new only from £5.94!
14	Woodstock 1999, Vol. 2: Blue Album (2000) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from £3.11! new only from £3.74!
15	Imperial Bedroom (1982) more music like this by Elvis Costello & the Attractions add to wishlist Having gotten country out of his system with Almost Blue, Elvis Costello returned to pop music with Imperial Bedroom -- and it was pop in the classic, Tin Pan Alley sense. Costello chose to hire Geoff Emerick, who engineered all of the Beatles' most ambitious records, to produce Imperial Bedroom, which indicates what it sounds like -- it's ... see all copies from £3.11! new only from £7.32!
16	All This Useless Beauty (1996) more music like this by Elvis Costello add to wishlist Following his second covers album, Kojak Variety, Elvis Costello set out to assemble a collection of songs he had written for other artists but never recorded himself -- sort of a reverse covers album. As it turned out, that idea was only used as a launching pad -- the resulting album, All This Useless Beauty, is a mixture of nine old and three ... see all copies from £3.11! new only from £6.02!
17	Bridge School Concerts, Vol. 1 (1997) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Neil Young and his wife Pegi established the Bridge School -- an organization designed to help develop communication for children who have severe speech and physical disabilities -- in the mid-'80s and every year, they held a fund-raising acoustic concert for the foundation. These concerts became famous for the richness and diversity of artists, ... see all copies from £3.11! new only from £5.89!
18	The Look of Love: The Burt Bacharach Collection (1998) more music like this by Burt Bacharach add to wishlist The Burt Bacharach revival was one of the most pleasing things about pop music in the late '90s, but it did produce an abundance of reissues, many of which seemed superfluous. So, it may be easy to dismiss Hip-O's Love Songs of Burt Bacharach as an unnecessary compilation, especially since it arrived in the summer of 1999, when the revival was ... see all copies from £9.67! new only from £19.94!
19	The Very Best of Elvis Costello and the Attractions (1994) more music like this by Elvis Costello & the Attractions add to wishlist Elvis Costello seems to have an aversion to presenting his work in a logical, comprehensive fashion, if the double-disc The Very Best of Elvis Costello is any indication. Like its predecessor, Girls Girls Girls, it sprawls over two discs, with very little regard to chronology or style, baffling and enticing listeners in equal measure. Although ... see all copies from £4.36! new only from £9.85!
20	Live on Letterman: Music from the Late Show (1997) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist David Letterman's The Late Show always had a long tradition of excellent musical performances -- indeed, it's one of the few places on American network television where live music thrives -- so the question that surrounds the 1997 release of Live on Letterman: Music from the Late Show isn't why, but why did it take so long? There have been enough ... see all copies from £3.11! new only from £7.86!
21	The River in Reverse (2006) more music like this by Elvis Costello/Allen Toussaint add to wishlist It's impossible to consider The River in Reverse without taking the devastation Hurricane Katrina wreaked upon New Orleans into account. Indeed, it's quite likely that this collaboration between Elvis Costello and Allen Toussaint would not even have occurred if it weren't for that cataclysmic event. They've collaborated before -- Toussaint wrote ... see all copies from £8.73! new only from £11.43!
22	Piano Jazz: McPartland/Costello (2005) more music like this by Marian McPartland/Elvis Costello add to wishlist This is a straightforward CD release of a 2003 installment of Marian McPartland's long-running radio show Piano Jazz, in which each week she chats with a guest musician and accompanies them on the piano. For this episode, her guest happened to be Elvis Costello, and the former "angry young man" of the British new wave turns out to be a charming ... see all copies from £5.06! new only from £7.57!
23	Imperial Bedroom [Ryko Bonus Tracks] (1982) more music like this by Elvis Costello & the Attractions add to wishlist Having gotten country out of his system with Almost Blue, Elvis Costello returned to pop music with Imperial Bedroom -- and it was pop in the classic, Tin Pan Alley sense. Costello chose to hire Geoff Emerick, who engineered all of the Beatles' most ambitious records, to produce Imperial Bedroom, which indicates what it sounds like -- it's ... see all copies from £5.34! new only from £7.79!
24	Jock Rock 2000 (1999) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Jock Rock 2000 carries the popular series into the new millennium with hits from Prodigy, Local H, Republica, Bush, Fatboy Slim, CIV, and BTK. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide see all copies from £3.11! new only from £11.62!
25	The Delivery Man [Deluxe Edition] (2004) more music like this by Elvis Costello & The Imposters add to wishlist Elvis Costello's 21st studio album, The Delivery Man, was intended as a song cycle or a concept album, not that you could ever tell from listening to album. During the prerelease promotion for the album, Costello claimed that he had written a narrative concerning a delivery man in the American South, following him on his journeys and through his ... see all copies from £12.46! new only from £12.46!
