1	Starfish (1988) more music like this by The Church Signing to Arista might have seemed an unusual move to start with, getting produced by L.A. studio types like Waddy Wachtel even more so. But for the Church the rewards were great -- if sometimes too clean around the corners in comparison to the song-for-song masterpiece Heyday, Starfish set up the band's well-deserved breakthrough in the States. ... see all copies from $5.99! new only from $11.80!
2	Gold Afternoon Fix (1990) more music like this by The Church Gold Afternoon Fix should have been a consolidation of the band's increased commercial profile and cachet after "Under the Milky Way," heightened by the welcome reissue of the band's first five albums. Unfortunately, the Church's original choice for producer -- John Paul Jones, who likely would have helped oversee a total masterpiece -- was ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $23.91!
3	Heyday (1986) more music like this by The Church Whether it was the assistance of Peter Walsh on production, a decision to bear down and see what could be done, or some further combination of that and other factors, the Church came up with its best release since The Blurred Crusade with the powerful Heyday. Not changing anything in the basic Church sound but presenting both a brilliant slew of ... see all copies from $3.99! new only from $11.85!
4	MTV: Best of 120 Minutes, Vol. 1 (1991) more music like this by Various Artists Released in 1991, Rhino's MTV: Best of 120 Minutes is one of the last snapshots of college rock/alternative music just before grunge dominated, inflated, and ultimately burnt out the genre. The Red Hot Chili Peppers' version of "Higher Ground" is probably the album's hardest-rocking track -- though Sonic Youth's classic "Kool Thing" comes close -- ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $9.98!
5	Priest = Aura (1992) more music like this by The Church Probably the most obscure album title yet from the Church, and definitely one of the least likely to provide a catchy radio single, but with this defiant reclaiming of their own destiny after the mess of Gold Afternoon Fix, the Church came up with its best album to date. If not as gloriously catchy as Heyday, Priest = Aura shows the Church fully ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $26.23!
6	Sometime Anywhere (1994) more music like this by The Church The departure of Peter Koppes reduced the Church down to a core duo of Steve Kilbey and Marty Willson-Piper, though on the bright side the drum slot was finally permanently filled by Tim Powles, whose excellent playing easily matched up to Richard Ploog's best work, if not bettering it. His skill at producing and mixing, which would later prove ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $19.27!
7	The Blurred Crusade (1982) more music like this by The Church After such a fine debut as Of Skins and Heart, creating a follow-up might have been a burden for the Church -- and maybe it was, but the end result was well worth it. Perhaps even better than their first, Blurred Crusade captures what for many remains the classic early Church sound, blending both the various strains of '60s inspiration and ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $10.96!
8	After Everything Now This (2002) more music like this by The Church More than two decades and 14 albums down the line, Australia's most persistent dream pop band releases another in a series of Church discs that at this stage are almost interchangeable. Steve Kilbey's voice floats on pillows of cloudy chords provided by the shimmering guitars of Marty Wilson-Piper and Peter Koppes. Guests provide keyboards, violin ... see all copies from $8.48! new only from $14.95!
9	Rock On: 1988 (1996) more music like this by Various Artists Volume 19 in Madacy's year-by-year overview of the biggest hits of the '70s and '80s is the best of the series' late-period collections -- smashes like the Church's "Under the Milky Way," Ziggy Marley & the Melody Makers' "Tomorrow People" and INXS' "New Sensation" still pack a punch that many other hits of the era fail to deliver. Chuck Donkers ... see all copies from $6.60! new only from $6.60!
10	Under the Milky Way: The Best of the Church (1999) more music like this by The Church Buddha's Under the Milky Way: The Best of the Church is a terrific, comprehensive anthology, tracing their career from their 1981 debut, Of Skin and Heart, to 1994's Sometime Anywhere. Some hardcore fans may notice some personal favorites missing, but all their best-known songs -- "The Unguarded Moment," "Tear It All Away," "Month of Sundays," ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $11.80!
11 view cover	El Momento Descuidado (2005) more music like this by The Church After 17 albums, Australia's premier purveyors of neo-psychedelic dream pop have finally come unplugged. The Liberation Blue Acoustic Series finds the veteran four-piece laying down 14 cuts -- including five new tracks -- over the span of a weekend. Beginning with "The Unguarded Moment" from 1981's Of Skins and Heart, they gently burn through ... see all copies from $14.78! new only from $14.78!
12 view cover	Hologram of Baal (1998) more music like this by The Church see all copies from $14.19! new only from $14.19!
13 view cover	Uninvited, Like the Clouds (2006) more music like this by The Church The Church, like their namesake, are capable of both beautiful and terrifying things. Uninvited, Like the Clouds, their seemingly hundredth album since 1980, has everything an adoring fan could want, and all the ammunition a detractor could carry. Steve Kilbey, Marty Willson-Piper, Peter Koppes, and newest member Tim Powles have constructed a ... see all copies from $16.19! new only from $16.19!
14 view cover	Just Can't Get Enough: New Wave Hits of the 80's, Vol. 6 (1994) more music like this by Various Artists There was an unspoken rule about the first wave of Just Can't Get Enough: New Wave Hits of the 80's. The first five volumes exist from a pre-MTV era. Sure, there were songs that were very popular on MTV, but they didn't dominate the selections. Starting with Vol. 6, the first volume of the second wave, MTV plays a bigger part than before, with ... see all copies from $12.50!
15 view cover	Living in Oblivion: The 80's Greatest Hits, Vol. 4 (1994) more music like this by Various Artists Living in Oblivion, Vol. 4 continues the downward spiral of the series. There's little rhyme or reason to the song selection on the disc, as it jumps from new wave to goth-rock to mainstream rock to alternative. That scattershot approach prevents the album from being a cohesive listen, but the disc does contain several classics, including "Dance ... see all copies from $4.99!
16 view cover	Magician Among the Spirits & Some (1999) more music like this by The Church The Church initiate their aspiring parishioners into a haunted cathedral of delicate beauty (like stained glass) and lofty, vaulted poetry. The aptly named opener "Welcome" ushers in a panoply of living and dead names, both famous and obscure, before announcing "you're like astronomy/you see everything, astronomy a part of me," and then descends ... see all copies from $12.75! new only from $12.75!
17 view cover	Sometime Anywhere [Deluxe Edition] (2005) more music like this by The Church The departure of Peter Koppes reduced the Church down to a core duo of Steve Kilbey and Marty Willson-Piper, though on the bright side the drum slot was finally permanently filled by Tim Powles, whose excellent playing easily matched up to Richard Ploog's best work, if not bettering it. His skill at producing and mixing, which would later prove ... see all copies from $26.23! new only from $26.23!
18 view cover	Starfish [Deluxe Edition] (2005) more music like this by The Church Some classic albums from the '80s lose their luster over a period of time. Whether it's the horrifically dated production values or instantly recognized drum machine presets, the musky smell of nostalgia inevitably creeps in and funks things up. Thankfully, this isn't the case with the Church's Starfish, which EMI had the good sense of remastering ... see all copies from $26.23! new only from $26.23!
19 view cover	The 80's Pop Explosion (1995) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $3.35!
20 view cover	Hindsight (1988) more music like this by The Church This two-disc collection is a perfect introduction to the Church for new fans, given all the many singles collected from Of Skins and Heart up through Heyday, along with an album cut or two. As an overview of the band's evolution from catchy postpunk pop to its own thrilling musical recipe, along with some amusing liner notes from Kilbey song per ... see all copies from $16.44! new only from $16.44!
21 view cover	A Box of Birds (1999) more music like this by The Church Covers albums could be seen as the last refuge of a dying band, but that's a cynical reading of the situation. At their best, covers albums can be fun and even revealing, as the band stretches out and play with their favorite songs. Such is the case with the Church's A Box of Birds. Their roots have always been evident -- they were fans of '60s ... see all copies from $14.47! new only from $14.47!
22 view cover	Forget Yourself [Bonus CD] (2004) more music like this by The Church With label woes, a rotation of drummers, and Stateside disinterest, the 1990s were difficult for the Church. Tough enough that most would have expected the veteran Australian rock act -- cursed in North America as a one-hit wonder for 1988's "Under the Milky Way," despite an impressive catalog that dates back to 1981 -- to throw it all away by now ... see all copies from $4.65! new only from $4.65!
23 view cover	Deep in the Shallows: The Classic Singles Collection (2007) more music like this by The Church see all copies from $25.36! new only from $25.36!
24 view cover	Magician Among the Spirits (1996) more music like this by The Church Arista dropped them but the Church soldiered on -- Tim Powles fully joined in the songwriting process a number of times, while Peter Koppes guested on various cuts after his absence from Sometime Anywhere. Violinist Linda Neil also appeared along with other guests from that record, with Magician Among the Spirits being the attractive end result. ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
25 view cover	Remote Luxury (1984) more music like this by The Church Collecting the contents of two separate EPs into a full-length album for American purposes, Remote Luxury actually makes for a reasonable release, avoiding the miserable drum sound that plagued Séance. The band are hardly so groansome, mixing the light synth touches evident on Séance with a tight, sharp postpunk groove. While the comparisons to ... see all copies from $9.40!
