you #1 CD of all time

Ok, I want to expand my music library... and so I thought
an interesting way to go about it... would be, to get you
guys to tell me what your #1 all time favorite CD, that you
cant live without, is.

Seems good enough a way to base a reccomendation :-D

Thanks!

This is impossible, but the one that I seem to listen to the
most would "Brownout" by Phoenecia.

There are more than this though, I promise. Just stating
that it would blow to be without this album.

i really can't decide.

it's usually the newest Autechre CD, but since i like hiphop
more now, i could easily say El-P - Fantastic Damage.

it's just impossible for me to trace my birthdate to present
day and decide which CD is my ultimate favorite, cuz tastes
can evolve.

CD in your collection that has a special place in your
heart?

hahaha...well i doubt any of you will agree with me but it'd
have to be either one of my Slipknot cds or one of my KoRn
cds. i kan't decide.

Just one... that's actually pretty easy. The Beatles- White
Album

A top ten list on the other hand, THAT would require a lot
of deliberation and random selection.

Ah, I haven't heard anything off of that yet. I almost did
the same thing, though. Thought it was some new EP with
original tracks, etc.

Brownout's quality, man. The only other thing I have is the
Randa Roomet EP which was released on Warp back in the day.
It's good, too. I think everything else they've put out is
scattered among comps and a few singles.

it's hard to name one single favorite.. Nas - "God's son" is
good, and Xploding Plastix - "Amateur Girlfriends go
proskirt agents" and "The famous biting guy EP" plus Jaga
Jazzist - "A livingroom hush" and "The stix" and.. The roots
- "Things fall apart"... and... Common - "Electric Circus"
and... Wu-Tang Clan - "Iron flag" and "36 chambers/enter the
wu" and so many more.

got that taken care of :-D

Actually... I never really got into the beatles until my
senior year of highschool...

I went to paris with my friends... and I didnt bring my
walkman... so I borrow my friends... and the white album was
in it... I was like, meh, why not (we had to take an hour
bus ride from where we flew in, to paris)

and I was listening... and I was just like... wow... this
is... this is great!

Happiness is a warm gun, is the track that sealed the deal.
Then I was like "GIVE ME MORE!"

hehehehe

the roots album... does that have a cover, of a black and
white photo of police, and a woman crying or something?

Cause I heard that album, and liked what I heard

Good man! I remember my first time hearing it, it was a
cornucopia of every style possible and I wept.

I knew you'd already heard that one, but I want to be
somewhat useful, so try out The Soft Boys- Underwater
Moonlight. Maybe my favorite album ever by a group not named
The Beatles. I like pimping it.

Seefeel's music has a special place in my heart. You should
most certainly download Quique (hypnotic guitar-based
ambient pop kinda stuff) and CH-VOX (dark, minimalistic
ambient. this EP is seefeel's last release ever so it has a
special meaning to me). These are deleted so you can't
purchase them anymore.

Succour is still available on warp and various online
shops.

NIN - Further down the spiral (if you like industrial
violence) is also one of my very favourite CDs

My all time favorite:
"We're Only In It For The Money"
Frank Zappa / the Mothers

Zeus, the Roots album you're talking about is "Things Fall
Apart"

I'll probably have to say the same... even though I haven't
listened for a while, the album is sort of a front of all my
emotions.

Staggeringly great. White hot noise and beautiful melody,
warm, lovely and quite harsh all at the same time. There's
not a note out of place but it's very loose too. If you
haven't got it, then buy it you must (and BUY it, mp3
doesn't do MBV justice).

houuojjohgou... really? susumu?

i slightly prefer sakura, but only because of
kodomaotachi...but the boy and the tree is better as a
whole

great choice!

yeah sakura is excelent too, i think i'm gonna get grinning

Points: 16280 Status: Lurker



well lets see, I guess the two that really come to mind are
Passion by Peter Gabriel and Music has the Right to Children
by Boards of Canada... the latter of which I know you
own...

Passion is the pinnacle for me though... I've had it for
years, and it's till fresh and amazing... I probably listen
to other albums more then this one, but nothing is better as
far as I'm concerned... it's emotionally draining I find,
but ends on a positive uplifting note... you can't really go
wrong with it, unless you're completely against world music!
:)

It's quite fantastic!

yeah i have both...magic thread is a bit different from his
other work...very minimalistic, he didnt use many sounds
there, more like loops going on forever - but really put
together excellently!

grinning cat has some brilliant tunes...great use of piano
sound with electronica...you think you heard it all, and the
next sound that comes in just puts you over the top

and i wouldnt miss the "image" (cant remember the dates
exactly)...i was avoiding that one for a long time, but when
i heard it for the 1st time, i was sorry i waited that
long...

yokota is an amazing artist!

Autechre Amber
or maybe Godspeed You! Black Emperor - F#A#oo

Neither are my favorites by either, but sentimental.

Tom Waits - Mule Variations

seriously this CD is packed solid.
From "hold on" to "cold water" and a little bit of "the
house where nobody lives" and a little splash of "whats he
building" for good measure.

I listen to it often. Good CD while drinking. :)
