5 albums that inspire

Here are 5 albums that currently inspire me while I am designing.

The Verve - Storm in Heaven

The Verve - Storm in Heaven is gold from the first 10 seconds. I can't get enough of this album and it all flows together perfectly. This sounds so much different than their later albums. I can't really recommend any track in particular, buy this whole album.

The XX
The XX

The XX- This album is pure Minimalistic bliss. Simple and enjoyable. The tracks that really stand out to me are 'Intro', 'Crystallised' and 'Heart Skipped a Beat'. Buy this record on Vinyl if you can, you also get a free MP3 Album with your purchase.

To The Sea
Jack Johnson - To The Sea

Jack Johnson - To The Sea: Perfect release for the summer and puts you in a great mood if you are stressed out about making a deadline. The Vinyl also comes with an MP3 download album. I recommend 'You and Your Heart', 'To The Sea' and 'Pictures of People Taking Pictures'.

Keane The Night Sky
Keane- The Night Sky

Keane - The Night Sky: Totally different than any work they've put out yet. They pick up the 80's music done right feel from Perfect Symmetry while shadowing the likes of Coldplay's Prospekt's March by inviting diverse musicians for cameo vocal appearances. Keane also goes back to their early days when we all fell in love with Keane and pack it the last track "My Shadow" with all the emotion they've got. The result is an EP that redefines their music yet reminds friends they are still Keane at the same time

Masterplan
Oasis - The Masterplan

Oasis - The Masterplan: Oasis can't really make bad music, and I'm saddened by their recent split. However, The Masterplan motivates me like no other album on this list. It will get you pumped up and the juices flowing even if you feel like you just can't push anymore pixels. My favorite tracks are 'The Masterplan' 'Acquiesce', and 'Fade Away'.
