Keith Urban - Love, Pain & The Whole Crazy Thing

The highly anticipated follow-up to Be Here showcases Urban's consummate songwriting and vocal talents, as well as his searing guitar work. Highlights include the bold, contagious rock of ''Faster Car'' and ''I Told You So''. He says the album's an accurate reflection of where he's at now. "It's the sound of being happy and extremely excited with the music that we're making.''


Moby - Go: The Very Best Of Moby

The only definitive greatest hits collection chronicling Moby's career, Go also features new and previously unreleased material. There's new single "New York, New York" with Blondie's Debbie Harry, two new mixes (including one for the title track, his debut commercial smash) and a live version of "Feeling So Real".


U2 & Green Day - The Saints Are Coming

U2 and Green Day first performed this version of the classic Skids track at the re-opening of the New Orleans Superdome on September 25, 2006. This studio offering was produced by Rick Rubin and recorded in London's Abbey Road Studio.


Magic Numbers - Those The Brokes

Londoners The Magic Numbers have delivered a classic second album in Those The Brokes. Led by current single "Take A Chance", this record sees the addition of strings and horns, while the songwriting, soaring harmonies and flawless musicianship are all improvements on the debut effort.


Damien Rice - 9

Damien Rice's 2002 debut, the phenomenal O, was always going to be a tough act to follow. But the Irish folk-pop singer-songwriter has exceeded all expectations with second album 9. While continuing in much the same vein as the first record - musically delicate and deeply introspective - 9 is also a rockier affair. It's been hailed by critics as a natural progression for Rice and is sure to expand his already considerable fanbase.


George Michael - Twentyfive

This disc celebrates George Michael's 25 years as a recording artist. It features hits from both his solo and Wham! careers, as well as four new songs, "An Easier Affair", "Heal The Pain" (a duet with Paul McCartney), "Understand" and new single "This Is Not Real Love". It also contains the BigPond Music exclusive track "I'm Your Man" (Extended Stimulation Mix).


+44 - When Your Heart Stops Beating

Named after the international dialling code of the United Kingdom, +44 features former Blink-182 members Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker. The band's debut album sees Hoppus take on lead vocals and add guitar duties to his usual bass playing. Meanwhile, Barker put down the sticks to play keyboards. Delivered three years after the last Blink-182 album, When Your Heart Stops Beating captures the pair's surging energy and creativity.
