Lycia - Cold (1996)
I've discovered some great darkwave albums recently but this stands out as a great find. It's an amazing ethereal darkwave album that sort of reminds me of The Sisters of Mercy crossed with early Cocteau Twins. It's gloomy and despairing but it has an amazing atmosphere and is beautiful to listen to.
Lamb - Lamb (1996)
Anybody who likes trip-hop should have this in their collection. The production on this album is top-notch and the heavy drum & bass influence makes it stand out from similar type albums. This is an album that will blow your mind through headphones.
