Oh I remember Colbert had her on his show last year, she was truly amazing!
Links?

And that was a really, really bland album to begin with.

Grizzly Bear-Horn of Plenty

Yeah I don't plan to stop there, I noticed that some had higher ratings on RYM and do plan to check those out, I just decided to go chronologically (sort of) for some reason. :D The second album, Join Hands, has a significantly lower rating through that's why I'm gonna skip it. But the first has nearly as high of a rating as A Kiss In The Dreamhouse and Kaleidoscope...so why not.

It's Krautrock but just the wrong country. Superb French Proggy Electronica with the ambience of Tangerine Dream and the guitar work of King Crimson. Love it.

Jazz meets Dub and it works! A couple of average tracks but the album get's much better the longer it goes on.

David Simons - Fung Sha Noon (2009)

Interesting avant-garde album along the lines of Moondog's material, except spookier and with more theremin. Baffling and beautiful simultaneously, but definitely a keeper!

Parliament - Osmium (1970)

I've been needing me some more of these funksters for quite some time, and this is as good a place to start as any. Can't say I regret getting it so far! :]

Seal - Seal II (1994)

All things considered, Seal truly is an oddball amidst the plethora of widely exposed musicians from the 90's -- he mixes a pedestrian yet occasionally experimental pop-soul sensibility with some of the lushest production values I've ever come across in an album. 'Kiss From A Rose' aside, there are a surprising number of extremely listenable tracks here, and I find it funny that nobody ever seems to talk about this guy anymore beyond his marriage to Heidi Klum anymore, as this is a pretty damn good release on the whole.

nice line-up, Americana was one of the first albums i ever bought :p: Their best album is probably 'Ixnay on the Hombre' if I had to think back and pick one. Classic skate/pop punk, refined but not TOO f*cking light. And it has a cameo by Jello Biafra..

What do you think of the Manics album? Was it a Mojopin suggestion by any chance?

Lee 'Scratch' Perry & the Upsetters (or just 'the Upsetters'? it changes) - Return of the Super Ape (1978)

The preceding 'Super Ape' was the first reggae/dub album I ever bought, simply because I thought the cover was amazing and had read Perry's name mentioned somewhere as being an influence on people i admired. I did not understand the significance of the production style I was hearing, nor even the weed references on the front...
But anyway, this album has a completely different tone from the utterly hypnotic chants and dubs of 'Super Ape', yet it still carries that unmistakably unique Scratch stamp... lots of weird noises (it sounds like he has brought a kitchens-worth of pots and pans into the studio sometimes), innovative use of scant resources and that classic foggy, pleasantly weighty sound i.e. the closest you can get to being stoned on music.
edit: also Scratch lends alot more of his MC-style rasping to this one, which always adds to the oddness. The last 'Super Ape' was entirely other singers I think, I'm guessing from his label? There are people here who will know this...

This was the last Lee Perry album to be recorded at his legendary Black Ark studio (self-built of course) and it is as fine a send off as one might expect; being recorded during what are, for most, the peak years of dub and reggae.
