Main Corridor > Music Chamber

Overlooked CDs

This section of the Music Chamber contains albums by artists who, undeservedly, haven't received the same amount of exposure as many of today's hottest pop/rock acts. While many of these artists still enjoy a strong following by loyal fans, some of their albums have gone unheard by the general public. Here's your chance to discover, or in some cases re-discover, a few albums that would make a great addition to your CD collection.

Select an album below to read more information about it, and find out why it's included here and how you can get your hands on a copy. If you have any suggestions for additions to this collection, contact the architect.
