Slumdog Millionaire - Music From The Motion Picture- Various Artists

Danny Boyle's Slumdog Milionaire, about a scrappy Bombay street urchin, makes a perfect fit for M.I.A., a South Asian musical rabble-rouser who highlights the world's have-nots in unconventional club tracks. In addition to dropping "Paper Planes" here, she also appears on the opening "O...Saya," a rush of percussion and voices raised high. A.R. Rahman, the celebrated Bombay soundtrack composer, is the real star here, with an album score that ranges from hynoptic trip-hop ("Riots") to unusual crunk ("Gangsta Blues") to wide-screen immersion in strings and tribal drums.

The River- Bruce Springsteen

This double-disc finds Springsteen mixing the dour disillusionment that permeated Darkness On the Edge of Town with confident, light-hearted stabs at love, and one style is just as winning as the other. Songs such as "Hungry Heart," "Fade Away" and "The River" are timeless classics that remain live favorites. The River is required listening for any fan.
Editor: Linda Ryan

Punch- Punch Brothers

For as virtuosic as Nickel Creek could be, the band's mandolin player and singer, Chris Thile, is stylistically unshackled with the Punch Brothers, a group made up of some of the best young progressive pickers around. The through-composed, mostly improvised three-song suite, "The Blind Leaving the Blind," is the centerpiece. A heartbreaking take on self-destructive love, the tracks ramble between delicate songwriter fare, 20th century atonality, jazz and bluegrass; and it's all recorded live. It requires full attention and some big ears, but those who take the time will be well rewarded.
