Don't know about the Apples in Stereo disc as I've heard nary a track but it's getting good reviews across the board. Still 24 tracks is a bit of a waste of your allottment especially compared to the Panda Bear disc. In the rock vein I would recommend the new Field Music, Rock Plaza Central or Besnard Lakes (the last two of which are Canadian outfits).

But if you want to veer off the rock path you should check out some pretty great classical discs that are now available on the e-music site. Some of these came to my attention via the emusic dozen which has a terrific selection of albums. I would suggest the Scarlatti keyboard sonatas with Yevgeny Sudbin on the piano or Debussy's Piano Music Vol.3 with Noriki Ogawa on piano. One of the artists mentioned in the emusic dozen is flautist Sharon Bezaly. They showcase her Mozart CD but I would go instead for her more modern collection of works by Nordic composers Aho, Tomasson and Lindberg. Modern music in a very good vein.
