Music Update II: March 22, 2007

In order to accomadate the growing list of 2007 releases, the Top Album list will be extended to cover twenty albums. In one month, several important albums have seen releases: from Graboids Mogwai-esque sonic explorations on Infinite Delay to Jatun's dense, electronic shoegaze to Crippled Black Phoenix's fusion of folk, post-rock, and more progressive elements, March has represented the further proliferation of an already-solid list of releases.
