It’s time once again to go through the music played on Urban Landscapes this year, and narrow the picks down to those that I recommend you add to your music collection.

It’s the Most Recommended Music of 2007, and Part One this week focuses on the albums. As you take a look at the playlist below, bear in mind that these are domestic releases from this year. Some of the albums have already been released the year before in Europe. Others have not made the list simply because they have not been released yet.

In any event, the picks I’ve chosen represent an eclectic crop of sounds. This will perhaps look different than many a radio show of like minds, but sometimes I can even surprise myself.

Next week, the last Urban Landscapes of 2007, will be a three-hour broadcast starting one hour earlier (10pm U.S. Pacific), The first hour will focus on the compilations, while the remaining two hours will be all about the EP’s and singles. It’s Part Two of my Most Recommended Music of 2007, so tune in however way you see fit.

That’s all for now; catch you next week.
