New Album Releases & Arrivals November 6, 2026

The holidays showed up early and brought records. This Friday's wall starts with Sufjan Stevens condensing a hundred-plus Christmas songs into one collection with his first new holiday tune in nearly fifteen years, and the Spice Girls marking thirty years of Spice with every single they ever released, boxed on color vinyl. Somewhere between those two poles sits everything else a November weekend needs.

The deeper story this week is Japan: a dozen-strong reissue wave spanning 1969 Victor modal jazz, late-70s synthesizer records, Casiopea's first-ever vinyl pressings and a lost city pop album that sat in the vaults for forty years. Beside it, Rush Hour delivers a deep house masterclass with Ron Trent's new double album, the Dream 2 Science repress and Soichi Terada's beloved Far East collection. If the jazz racks are your first stop, plan extra time.

Everything below lands Friday, November 6 or is already in the bins. Browse the full list: New Album Releases November 6, 2026.

Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works Volume II (Expanded Edition) CD

Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works Volume II (Expanded Edition) CD album cover

Richard D. James wrote Selected Ambient Works Volume II in his early twenties and let photographs stand in for track titles: vast, dreamlike pieces that feel less composed than discovered, drifting between beauty and unease. Thirty years on it remains one of the most influential ambient records ever made. This Warp expanded edition marks the anniversary with additional material, presenting the landmark in its fullest form. Headphones and a dark room recommended to get prepared for the upcoming release of Drukqs.

Why it's worth purchasing:

  • The ambient landmark, in its fullest form
  • The expanded material deepens the mystery rather than solving it
  • Pairs with the two Aphex LPs back in the racks below

Avalanches - Since I Left You (2026 Press)

Avalanches - Since I Left You 2026 Press album cover

Robbie Chater and Darren Seltmann bought records by the crate and cut them into something that plays like one continuous summer afternoon. Sample-count estimates for Since I Left You run from 3,500 upward, but the trick is that it never feels like a collage: "Frontier Psychiatrist" and the title track still land as pop songs rather than puzzles. Twenty-five years on it remains the high-water mark for sample-based production. Fresh 2026 Canadian pressing across two LPs, out this Friday.

Why it's worth purchasing:

  • The sample-collage masterpiece, playable again
  • Frontier Psychiatrist still gets a room moving
  • 2LP Canadian pressing, imported

Avalanches - We Will Always Love You (2026 Press)

Avalanches - We Will Always Love You 2026 Press album cover

Sixteen years after their debut, The Avalanches built We Will Always Love You around signals sent into space and the people waiting on the other end. The sampling is still central, but this time there are voices in the room: Blood Orange, MGMT, Rivers Cuomo, Jamie xx, Johnny Marr and Tricky, threaded through a continuous mix of cosmic disco, gospel and soft psychedelia. "Running Red Lights" and "Reflecting Light" are the emotional center. 2026 Canadian pressing, two LPs, out Friday.

Why it's worth purchasing:

  • The late-night companion to Since I Left You
  • Running Red Lights earns every repeat play
  • 2LP Canadian pressing, imported

Casiopea - Full Colors

Casiopea - Full Colors album cover

Casiopea's fifteenth album, and the second with Yoshihiro Naruse and Masaaki Hiyama in the rhythm section, by which point the new lineup had stopped proving itself and started enjoying the room. Full Colors carries "Fightman", still a live fixture, and "Purple Hours", with a guitar and bass unison passage at a tempo that should not be possible. First time ever on vinyl, out this Friday.

Why it's worth purchasing:

  • First-ever vinyl pressing of a 1991 fusion favorite
  • Fightman remains a live setlist staple
  • The friendlier half of this week's Casiopea pair

Casiopea - The Party

Casiopea - The Party album cover

The first album of Casiopea's third act. After ALFA and Polydor, the band moved to Pioneer in 1990 with a new rhythm section that pushed everything harder. The Party runs on "Cyber Zone", still a live staple, while Issei Noro and Minoru Mukaiya sound entirely unbothered by having done this for a decade already. Like Full Colors above, this is its first-ever vinyl pressing, out this Friday.

Why it's worth purchasing:

  • First-ever vinyl pressing, thirty-six years on
  • Cyber Zone is peak attack-mode Casiopea
  • Japanese fusion played at the highest level

Dream 2 Science - Dream 2 Science (2026 Repress)

Dream 2 Science self-titled 2026 Repress album cover

Ben Cenac made a handful of tracks in 1990 and left behind one of deep house's most quietly influential records. Dream 2 Science is all warmth and restraint: soft chord pads, patient drum programming, and a melodic sweetness most house music of the era never reached for. "My Love Turns to Liquid" is the one people chase, machine soul that sounds recorded underwater. Rush Hour's 2026 repress keeps it within reach, out Friday.

Why it's worth purchasing:

  • A deep house cornerstone, no collector prices required
  • My Love Turns to Liquid is pure machine soul
  • Part of this week's Rush Hour wall

Evanescence - The Open Door (20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition)

Evanescence - The Open Door 20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition album cover

The follow-up to Fallen had every reason to buckle under expectation and instead went heavier and stranger. Amy Lee wrote most of The Open Door through a period of upheaval, and the arrangements show it: choirs, layered piano, guitars tuned down and pushed forward. "Call Me When You're Sober" is the one everyone knows; "Lithium" and the nine-minute "Good Enough" are where it earns its reputation. The 20th anniversary deluxe spreads it across two LPs, on standard black or indie exclusive ivory. Out Friday.

Why it's worth purchasing:

  • The heavier, stranger follow-up, due its reappraisal
  • Call Me When You're Sober at full width on 2LP
  • Standard black or ivory, indie shops only

Francis Bebey - Tresor Magnetique

Francis Bebey - Tresor Magnetique album cover

Francis Bebey never sat still long enough to be filed properly: a Cameroonian writer, broadcaster and guitarist who put pygmy flute against drum machines and folk chant against synthesizers for thirty years. The twenty tracks on Tresor Magnetique came off tapes found in his son Patrick's house and digitized at Abbey Road, running from afro-funk to shimmering late-period electronics, several in versions never before issued. Two LPs with an insert, on Africa Seven.

Why it's worth purchasing:

  • Unheard recordings from a true original
  • Afro-funk, electronics and poetry in one sweep
  • 2LP archival set rescued from family tapes

Hi-Phonics - Hi-Phonic Big 15

Hi-Phonics - Hi-Phonic Big 15 album cover

A Tokyo session date from 1979, and the reason collectors chase it is side B: five composers were each asked for an original, and the list reads Hiromasa Suzuki, Haruomi Hosono, Mickie Yoshino, Ryuichi Sakamoto and Yuji Ohno. Hosono turned in "Jamaica Ginger", Sakamoto "Dragoon", and neither reads as session filler. Side A of Hi-Phonic Big 15 is one unbroken medley running past nineteen minutes. Back on vinyl for the first time since the original pressing.

Why it's worth purchasing:

  • Hosono and Sakamoto originals on one side B
  • A nineteen-minute session-band medley on the A
  • First vinyl return since 1979

Hiroshi Matsumoto & Hideo Ichikawa Quartet - Megalopolis

Hiroshi Matsumoto & Hideo Ichikawa Quartet - Megalopolis album cover

Megalopolis began with a director's challenge: let Japanese people make Japanese jazz. Hiroshi Matsumoto answered with this 1969 quartet session built entirely around Tokyo, transforming beneath the musicians as they set up in a circle to watch each other play. Megalopolis moves like a suite, from the sprawling "A Day in the City" to the restless "City Irritation". Originally issued in Victor's Japanese Jazz series, reissued this Friday.

Why it's worth purchasing:

  • A sharp, city-eyed 1969 Japanese jazz classic
  • Victor's Japanese Jazz series, back in reach
  • The deep cut of this week's Japan wall

Jay-Z - Magna Carta... Holy Grail (180g)

Jay-Z - Magna Carta Holy Grail 180g album cover

Jay-Z's twelfth album trades stadium bombast for a portrait of an emcee weighing fatherhood, marriage and the view from the top. Timbaland and J-Roc handle most of the production on Magna Carta... Holy Grail, with Nas, Rick Ross, Frank Ocean, Justin Timberlake and Beyoncé across seventeen tracks. Third Man's pressing puts it on 180g double vinyl in a tip-on gatefold, and hides a flexi-disc postcard of "Open Letter" under the back cover artwork. You have to cut the jacket to get it.

Why it's worth purchasing:

  • The Jay-Z wall grows by one heavyweight
  • Third Man's tip-on gatefold treatment
  • A hidden flexi disc, if you dare cut the jacket

Junk Fujiyama - Junk Scape

Junk Fujiyama - Junk Scape album cover

Junk Fujiyama's 2013 debut helped kick off the modern city pop revival, built on the smooth AOR and crossover funk of the genre's golden era. The late drummer Shuichi Ponta Murakami was so taken with Fujiyama's voice that he formed a band of first-call session players to back him, and that lineup gives Junk Scape its polished, in-the-pocket groove. This 2LP includes the long version of breakout single "Ano Sora no Mukougawa e". Out this Friday.

Why it's worth purchasing:

  • The record that helped restart city pop
  • A session band built around one remarkable voice
  • 2LP with the extended breakout single

Los Amigos Invisibles - The Venezuelan Zinga Son Vol. 1

Los Amigos Invisibles - The Venezuelan Zinga Son Vol. 1 album cover

Los Amigos Invisibles spent years turning Caracas dance floors into something between a disco and a house party, then moved to New York and handed the desk to Masters at Work. Little Louie Vega and Kenny Dope produce throughout The Venezuelan Zinga Son Vol. 1, with Dimitri from Paris taking a track, and the pairing lands: wah-wah guitars and conga rhythms get a deep house low end. First time on vinyl, two records in a gatefold on Luaka Bop.

Why it's worth purchasing:

  • Masters at Work behind the boards, start to finish
  • Salsa, disco, funk and acid jazz on one floor
  • First-ever vinyl pressing, 2LP gatefold

Metro Area - Metro Area 1, 2 & 3

Metro Area - Metro Area 1, 2 and 3 album cover

Morgan Geist and Darshan Jesrani met through a mailing list, started making records in Brooklyn, and laid out a template nu-disco has worked from ever since: crisp dry drums, bass lines played rather than programmed, chords that gesture at disco strings without reaching for a sample. Environ has the first three 12-inch EPs back in their original sleeves: Metro Area 1, Metro Area 2 and Metro Area 3. Spare music built from very few parts, which is why it has not dated.

Why it's worth purchasing:

  • The founding documents of nu-disco, one side at a time
  • Dry, played-by-hand production later imitators glossed over
  • All three EPs in original sleeves via Environ

MF DOOM/Metal Fingers - Special Herbs Vol. 1 & 2

MF DOOM Metal Fingers - Special Herbs Vol. 1 and 2 album cover

The opening chapter of DOOM's celebrated instrumental series under his Metal Fingers alias, every beat named after an herb, root or spice. Special Herbs Vol. 1 & 2 gathers series exclusives alongside instrumentals he produced for himself and others, built from 70s soul, 80s R&B and snippets of children's records. Loose, warm and endlessly sample-rich. Available on CD or yellow mustard vinyl, both via Rhymesayers.

Why it's worth purchasing:

  • The Super-Villain's production brain, uncut
  • Ideal reading, working and late-night listening music
  • CD or yellow mustard vinyl, your call

Mos Def - The Ecstatic (Deluxe Photo Book Edition)

Mos Def - The Ecstatic Deluxe Photo Book Edition album cover

The definitive edition of yasiin bey's 2009 high point: a 120-page hardcover of portraits, candids and lyrics photographed by Cognito, with the album on 180g double vinyl plus a translucent red 7-inch carrying bonus tracks "Size" and "The Tournament", all in a red slipcase. The Ecstatic pairs hip-hop with jazz, soul and global textures over beats from Madlib, J Dilla, Oh No and Chad Hugo. Also arriving on ruby red vinyl and CD.

Why it's worth purchasing:

  • Madlib and Dilla beats under one of hip-hop's great voices
  • The 120-page photo book is a real object
  • Photo book set, ruby red LP, or CD

Nujabes - Modal Soul (Japanese Import) CD

Nujabes - Modal Soul Japanese Import CD album cover

The beloved second album from the late Japanese producer whose warm fusion of jazz samples and hip-hop drums defined a generation of jazzy hip-hop. Modal Soul gathers timeless collaborations with Shing02, Uyama Hiroto, Cise Starr and Substantial, alongside a gorgeous reading of "Ordinary Joe" sung by Terry Callier himself. The Japanese import edition on Hydeout, joining the Luv(sic) Hexalogy and Spiritual State discs that arrived last month.

Why it's worth purchasing:

  • One of the most cherished instrumental hip-hop records ever
  • Terry Callier singing his own Ordinary Joe
  • Completes the Hydeout import CD shelf

Osamu Shoji - Jataka

Osamu Shoji - Jataka album cover

A pioneering statement in Japanese synthesizer music: eight tracks from 1978 moving between ambient calm and experimental exploration, with the cosmic "Pyramid Ion" among the highlights. Long scarce, Jataka developed a reputation among overseas collectors that far outstrips its original pressing numbers, with support players including Kiyoshi Sugimoto and Hiromasa Suzuki. This reissue finally makes it accessible again, out Friday on Warner Music Japan.

Why it's worth purchasing:

  • 1978 synth exploration decades ahead of schedule
  • Pyramid Ion alone justifies the sleeve
  • Long out of reach, now simply in the bin

Ron Trent - Lift Off (Parts One & Two)

Ron Trent - Lift Off Parts One and Two album cover

Ron Trent has been making deep house in Chicago since he was a teenager, and Lift Off is the sound of someone with nothing left to prove, assembled from a decade of sessions. Part One is the energetic half, with Leroy Burgess pulling "Let Me See You Shining" toward boogie; Part Two stretches furthest from the dancefloor with longer builds and patient arrangement. Each is a double LP on Rush Hour, out this Friday.

Why it's worth purchasing:

  • A Chicago master working at full stretch
  • Leroy Burgess guesting is boogie royalty
  • Two double LPs that work alone or as one album

Ryo Kawasaki - Prism

Ryo Kawasaki - Prism album cover

Guitarist Ryo Kawasaki caught the ear of Gil Evans early on, and Prism, his first album as a leader, shows why. Recorded in New York in 1975 with a crack band, it lands between cosmic jazz and electric fusion, from the high-speed guitar-and-percussion workout "Agana" to the dazzling jazz-funk of "Phil". A bold debut from a player who went on to work around the world, reissued in Universal's Spin This Now series. Street date: November 6.

Why it's worth purchasing:

  • Cosmic jazz guitar with serious velocity
  • Phil is a jazz-funk dancefloor secret weapon
  • Spin This Now series pressing

Seiichi Nakamura - Wolf's Theme

Seiichi Nakamura - Wolf's Theme album cover

After his intense run with the Yosuke Yamashita Trio, saxophonist Seiichi Nakamura arrived at a new ideal on 1978's Wolf's Theme: sharing space and flying freely, like birds. Inspired by Kazumasa Hirai's Wolf Guy novels, the title track lets Nakamura's sax move boldly through carefully placed silence, while "Body & Soul" and "I Can't Get Started" get warm, unhurried readings with Aki Takase among the session players. Out Friday.

Why it's worth purchasing:

  • Spacious late-70s Japanese jazz for sax devotees
  • Standards and originals given equal care
  • Aki Takase in the rhythm section

Seu Jorge - The Other Side

Seu Jorge - The Other Side album cover

Seu Jorge has spent two decades moving between samba, soul and film, and The Other Side gathers all of it into one record. His voice sits low and unhurried over arrangements that lean acoustic without turning precious, and the guest list maps his career: Beck, Marisa Monte and Maria Rita all turn up. The songwriting is the draw, loose and conversational, built for repeat listening. Deluxe gatefold edition, out this Friday.

Why it's worth purchasing:

  • A career highlight from Brazil's warmest voice
  • Beck and Marisa Monte on one guest list
  • Deluxe gatefold pressing

Shigeru Suzuki - Band Wagon

Shigeru Suzuki - Band Wagon album cover

Recorded on a solo trip to the States in late 1974, Band Wagon became an instant guitarist's bible: sharp, expressive Stratocaster playing over a powerful funk band, with Takashi Matsumoto's poetic lyrics on top. The record helped members of Little Feat and Tower of Power take notice of Japanese rock. Fifty years on, this clear orange edition carries a new remaster personally supervised by Suzuki himself. Out Friday.

Why it's worth purchasing:

  • The Happy End guitarist's defining solo statement
  • Remastered under Suzuki's own supervision
  • Clear orange pressing for the anniversary

Soichi Terada - Sounds From The Far East (2025 Edition)

Soichi Terada - Sounds From The Far East 2025 Edition album cover

The compilation that brought Soichi Terada's early-90s Far East Recording output to the world, compiled by Hunee for Rush Hour and beloved ever since. Sounds From The Far East gathers Terada's sweet, homespun deep house alongside tracks from Shinichiro Yokota, including the Paradise Garage-rooted "Sun Shower" rework. This tenth-anniversary edition arrives in a revised cover with OBI and printed inner sleeves, across two LPs.

Why it's worth purchasing:

  • Japanese deep house at its warmest
  • Hunee's compiling made it a modern classic
  • Revised sleeve with OBI, 2LP

Spice Girls - Singles Collection

Spice Girls - Singles Collection box set album cover

Thirty years after Spice, the whole run in one box. Between 1996 and 2000 the Spice Girls released singles faster than anyone could keep up with, and Singles Collection gathers all of them: "Wannabe", "Say You'll Be There", "2 Become 1", "Spice Up Your Life", "Viva Forever", "Goodbye" and the rest, B-sides and remixes intact, which is where much of the era's best production hid. Fourteen 7-inch singles on color vinyl with bonus vinyl and a booklet, or a collector's edition CD box of fourteen CD singles with a bonus disc. Out Friday.

Why it's worth purchasing:

  • Every single from the Spice era, boxed
  • The B-sides and remixes are the collector bait
  • Fourteen color 7-inches, or the 14-CD edition

Sufjan Stevens - Worst Christmas Ever!

Sufjan Stevens - Worst Christmas Ever album cover

Sufjan Stevens has recorded more than a hundred Christmas songs across the Songs for Christmas and Silver & Gold boxes, which is a lot of Christmas even by his standards. Worst Christmas Ever! distils it into one collection: fifteen favourites plus "On This Christmas (It Only Gets Better)", his first new Christmas song in nearly fifteen years. Banjo, choirs, drum machines, hymns played straight and strange. On Rudolph red vinyl, CD or cassette, out Friday.

Why it's worth purchasing:

  • The one Sufjan Christmas record to hand to anyone
  • His first new holiday song in nearly fifteen years
  • Rudolph red vinyl, CD, or cassette for the car

TRANZAM - Funky Steps

TRANZAM - Funky Steps album cover

Classical themes run through a tight, horn-heavy funk machine. Funky Steps, from December 1974, turns familiar melodies into instrumental jazz-rock workouts built for the dance floor, with Chito Kawachi's drums and Tsugutoshi Goto's bass locked into a driving groove under a stacked horn section. A defining entry in the Japanese rare groove canon, prized for its punch and precision, and a natural neighbor to the Wamono comps already on the wall. Out Friday.

Why it's worth purchasing:

  • Beethoven by way of a 1974 Tokyo funk band
  • Rhythm section precision that producers still chase
  • A Japanese rare groove cornerstone

Tsuyoshi Yamamoto - Daahoud

Tsuyoshi Yamamoto - Daahoud album cover

Pianist Tsuyoshi Yamamoto built a devoted following on his swinging, bluesy touch, and Daahoud catches him at his most elegant. Recorded in Tokyo in late 1975 as a trio with Tsutomu Okada and Hiroshi Murakami, it moves through "Stella by Starlight" and "Alone Together" in relaxed, richly detailed readings. Long prized by Japanese jazz collectors, it returns in Universal's Spin This Now series. Street date: November 6.

Why it's worth purchasing:

  • Trio jazz with the warmth turned all the way up
  • Standards given unhurried, detailed readings
  • Spin This Now series pressing

Various - Cyberpunk 2077: Future Sound of Night City

Various - Cyberpunk 2077 Future Sound of Night City album cover

Fifteen original tracks made for CD Projekt Red's neon-soaked open world, gathering a who's who of the Polish electronic underground. Future Sound of Night City moves through techno, ambient, synthwave, industrial and IDM, and plays like a late-night drive through rain-slick streets. Limited 3LP cut at 45rpm on yellow vinyl in a heavyweight three-panel gatefold with a sticker sheet, on WRWTFWW.

Why it's worth purchasing:

  • The Polish electronic underground, game-sanctioned
  • 45rpm cut across three yellow LPs
  • Pairs with the Edgerunners soundtrack back in the racks

Various - Menace II Society (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

Various - Menace II Society Original Motion Picture Soundtrack album cover

The Hughes brothers' 1993 debut got a soundtrack that works as a snapshot of where hip-hop stood that year, and it refuses to pick a coast. MC Eiht's "Streiht Up Menace" is the centerpiece, written from inside the film's world. Around it, the Menace II Society soundtrack runs Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth, UGK, Boogie Down Productions with DJ Premier, Spice 1, Too Short and Brand Nubian. Two 180g records via Music On Vinyl, out Friday. More where that came from in the hip-hop racks.

Why it's worth purchasing:

  • Streiht Up Menace is all-time soundtrack writing
  • East, West and the South on one tracklist
  • 2LP on 180g, long overdue back on vinyl

Various - Too Slow to Disco Vol. 4

Various - Too Slow to Disco Vol. 4 album cover

The fourth volume of DJ Supermarkt's long-running excavation of soft rock's smarter end. The brief has not changed: session-musician perfectionism, chords borrowed from jazz, lyrics about Los Angeles disappointment, and production budgets nobody would approve today. What sets Too Slow to Disco Vol. 4 apart is the digging: not the hits, and sequenced as music worth hearing rather than a joke about the 1970s. Two LPs with generous sleeve notes, now on black vinyl.

Why it's worth purchasing:

  • Yacht rock for people who read liner notes
  • A high ratio of tracks you will chase down after
  • 2LP with proper sleeve notes

Venturing - Nowhere EP

Venturing - Nowhere EP album cover

Venturing is where Jane Remover goes when she wants guitars. It began as an elaborate fiction about a lost 90s indie band from South Dakota, then quietly became real once the backstory stopped being worth maintaining. Nowhere follows Ghostholding and keeps it short and deliberate: "Songs About Leaving" opens as a low, string-laden ballad with a grunge edge, and a demo of "Freeloading" closes. Slacker rock and slowcore played straight. Limited 7-inch designed by Remover, out Friday.

Why it's worth purchasing:

  • Jane Remover's guitar project at its most direct
  • Songs About Leaving is a quiet stunner
  • Limited 7-inch, artwork by Remover herself

Yoichi Takizawa - Boy

Yoichi Takizawa - Boy album cover

Boy was supposed to follow Yoichi Takizawa's debut in the summer of 1982. Instead the album was mysteriously canceled just before release and vanished for more than forty years. With the original master tape lost, this edition was newly mixed from surviving karaoke masters, preserving the sessions with modern production, including the original version of "Kagirinaki Natsu", later reworked for Hideki Saijo. A legendary lost city pop record, on vinyl for the first time.

Why it's worth purchasing:

  • A city pop ghost story with a happy ending
  • Rebuilt from surviving masters, forty years late
  • First-ever vinyl release

Yuji Ohno, You & Explosion Band - Lupin the Third Original Soundtracks 1-3

Yuji Ohno You and Explosion Band - Lupin the Third Original Soundtracks album cover

Commemorating 55 years of the Lupin the Third anime, the late maestro Yuji Ohno's jazz-funk scores return on color vinyl for the first time, faithfully reproducing the original 1978 specifications. The theme's horn stabs have outlived every trend that tried to replace them. Three volumes, three colors: the original soundtrack on clear red, Soundtrack 2 on clear pink with "Love Squall", and Soundtrack 3 on clear yellow with "Lupin III '80".

Why it's worth purchasing:

  • The definitive anime jazz-funk, in original spec
  • Yuji Ohno's themes never stopped swinging
  • Clear red, pink and yellow, built as a set

Back in the Racks

Fresh copies of titles the racks have missed, all landing with Friday's drop.

The Hip-Hop Crate

Common's Like Water for Chocolate returns alongside a full DOOM wall: MM..Food on 20th anniversary CD and Operation: Doomsday on vinyl or CD, with Quasimoto's Yessir Whatever keeping the Madlib corner stocked. J Dilla's Donuts is here in its 20th anniversary audiophile cut and on CD, Onra's Chinoiseries is back for the beat heads, and Jay-Z's The Blueprint rejoins the wall next to this week's Magna Carta. For the soul side: Bobbi Humphrey's Blacks and Blues, Kut Klose's Surrender on light blue, The Womack Sisters' debut, Hiatus Kaiyote's Choose Your Weapon and DJ Spanish Fly's Jealous picture disc.

Beats & Electronics

Both sides of the Aphex coin are back, Selected Ambient Works 85-92 and the Richard D. James Album, with Boards of Canada's Tomorrow's Harvest for the long-shadow crowd. Daft Punk's Alive 2007, Four Tet's TEXT059, Jamie xx's In Colour and Kaytranada's 99.9% cover every hour of the night, Robyn's Complete Body Talk stays the party's center of gravity, and Kruder & Dorfmeister's DJ-Kicks 30th anniversary box brings the comedown. Onda De Amor, synthesized Brazilian hits that never were, rounds out the crate.

Rock & Pop

Alice in Chains' MTV Unplugged on yellow, Pixies' Doolittle and two Radioheads, A Moon Shaped Pool and OK Computer OKNOTOK, anchor the guitar wall. Bon Iver's self-titled and SABLE, fABLE are both back, with Cameron Winter live at Carnegie Hall, the Beaches' No Hard Feelings, Bruno Mars' The Romantic on translucent red and Scottish post-punks Boots For Dancing. The Michael Jackson shelf refills too: Thriller in red and black marble as well as standard, plus Number Ones and Xscape.

The Japan Wall

Akira Ishikawa's Back to Rhythm and Colored Music's +1 on clear sky blue return to the wamono shelf, Miho Nakayama's Mind Game and the Techno Kayō comp hold the synth-pop corner, and Takanaka's Alone and T-Wave are back within a week of leaving. Norio Maeda's Shadow Of The Highway and Shoji Yamashiro's Akira soundtrack cover the cinematic end.

Screens & Scores

The Music of Red Dead Redemption 2 rides again, Akira Yamaoka's Cyberpunk: Edgerunners score on purple marble pairs with this week's Night City compilation, and Claudio Simonetti's Goblin Tenebre on yellow smoke sticks around for anyone still in a Halloween mood.

That is the first drop of November: a Japan wall two shelves deep, a Rush Hour house section, the holidays arriving on Rudolph red, and the crates refilled behind it all. Dig through the full November 6 collection before the weekend does. Four or more new albums takes 10% off automatically at checkout. It's all in GOOD TASTE.
