Desert Island Discs






Well I guess its something we rarely think about in this digital age of vast ammounts of music in our pockets and its very rare that we think what we would do if stranded on a desert island (well too much lost i think has probably warped some peoples minds that way) but i was confronted with the question recently by a friend and it made me think...if i were to be stranded what 10 albums would i bring with me....

Well here's my list ...i figure a nice eclectic mix the earliest ranging from 1964 Soviet Russia to modern French house. At the end of the day i would say this is a list that encompasses more or less albums i listen to most of the time rather than the generic 'best albums of all time' that we see coming up again and again. I recall one was given the choice of having the bible and the complete works of shakespeare in the literary version of dicussion...I wonder which pieces of music would be the standard +2????


Still, here in no particular order....

DJ Shadow - Endtroducing (sampled trip hop)

Kraftwerk - Tour De France (Electronica)

Pink Floyd - Animals (prog rock at its best)

Leftfeild - Rythem and Stealth (trip hop)

Various Artists - Good Morning Veitnam Soundtrack (great collection of music)

R.E.M - Green (R.E.M's underrated opus)

Vangelis - Blade Runner (hauntingly amazing)

33.3 - Plays Music (quiet smooth jazz)

Daft Punk - Discovery (22nd century funk)

Aram Khachaturian - Spartack (uplifting classical)
