Second album from young Dublin indie-rock trio, following 2000's eponymous-titled debut. Showcasing a new depth of emotional maturity and a much-broadened sonic palette, this record deals with big themes and is epic in scope. Recorded in Dublin and London with the band's 'Dream Team' of Flood and Alan Moulder (U2, Smashing Pumpkins, Depeche Mode), it includes the single 'Formulae'. Sony. 2002.

Last year's bittersweet return Almost Gone memorialized lost friends and family in profound fashion. The deaths of beat luminaries Ginsberg and Burroughs color parts of her seventh album, but overall Smith is back on the barricades and rocking alongside her Lenny Kaye-led band. "1959," a plea for Tibet, is the catchiest, timeliest song here, and, like "Don't Say Nothing," it merits at least a dash of commercial airplay. Ain't going to happen, of course, but Smith's wisdom, apocalyptic imagery and artful invention (viz. "Memento Mori") is manna to devotees. --Jeff Bateman
