Hatfield & the North - H&tN vs. Rotter. I used to prefer Rott, now the debut. Something about the montage-like construction of it.
Henry Cow - Legend vs. Unrest. I used to dig them equally, but Unrest has become one of my fave records overall. It's simply astonishing.
Gilgamesh - 'mesh vs. Another Fine Tune. The second one is more self-assured, but the debut roams with semi-juvenile ambition. Fabulous.
National Health - N.H. vs. Of Queues & Cures. Debut is more perfectionist, Queues however is rawer, more powerful and more FUN.
