Nevermind O. I just answered my own question. The album I have is Worst Case Scenairo. It's a decent album. How does the one you have on your list stack up? Should I buy it?

Is dEUS still around?  

In a Bar, Under the Sea is an excellent album.  The first time I heard them was when they opened at a Morphine concert.  I caught the very last song of their set (Theme from Turnpike) and that convinced me to buy the album right then and there.

Side note:  the cover art for In a Bar, Under the Sea is one of my favorites.

Yep new album recorded. Titlealbum is yet unknown, but they did already some live shows just to warm things up.

You will hear more very soon. In a bar under the sea is also an excellent album.  Check it out.

Can we make this a top 20? 10 is just too hard! I just remembered like 50 other desert island disk essentials.

Bengrim,

that's the second time I've run across the name John Martyn today.  I guess this is someone I should probably know.  Amazon compares him to Nick Drake, and AllMusic compares him to people I don't know.  What do you have to say about him?

Personally I like 'In a bar' even more than 'WCS'. A friend of mine recently said: "The first dEUS album you've heard is your favorite dEUS album" and it appears to be true.

A lot of people compare him to Nick Drake but I personally find Nick Drake a little posh for my taste if you know what I mean but he's still perfect for a Sunday morning. John Martyn is a little more eclectic in a jazz sense, he use a lot of effects and isn't scared to switch genres. The man himself is a legend he's scottish/irish I believe but for a while in the 70's he lost his  thick Glasgow accent and took on this keith moon style english gent voice, he's a raging alcoholic and last year had one his feet amputated and recorded his latest album('on the cobbles') from his bed!
Solid air is good place to start ( the title track is about Nick Drake, apparently they were friends)or there's a good Island 'introduction to..' compilation. Don't tell anyone as I don't want to jinx it, but friends of mine are working with his engineer Gary and he visited my studio last week, he loves our live room that much ( a disused cinema) that he wants to bring John in to do vocals and acoustic guitars! But keep it to yourself, wink wink.

Good call on Whiskeytown's Stangers Alamanac.....that is great disc.  However, I can not stand Ryan Adams anymore. Also, like the Jeff Bucklye Grace disc.
