Always tough to narrow it down that much, so I tried to cover all the bases
(not necessarily in any order):
King Crimson - Starless and Bible Black
Keiji Haino - I Said, This is the Son of Nihilism
Keith Jarrett- The Sun Bear Concerts
Steely Dan - The Royal Scam
Julian Cope - Peggy Suicide
Naked City - Torture Garden
Dire Straits - Love Over Gold
Luna - Bewitched
Gary Numan - Dance
Brian Eno - Another Green World
And since it's so tough, I had to make a second list that are almost as
essential:
Nurse With Wound - Who Can I Turn To Stereo?
Trashcan Sinatras - Cake
The Sundays - Reading, Writing and Arithmetic
Tangerine Dream - Rubycon
The Wedding Present - Seamonsters
Rush - Hemispheres
Loren Mazzacane Connors & Alan Licht - Two Nights
Pink Floyd - Ummagumma
Yes - Tales From Topographic Oceans
Moraz & Bruford - Music for Piano and Drums
Honorable mentions:
Talk Talk - Colour of Spring
Stone Roses - Stone Roses
Frank Zappa - You Can't Do That on Stage Anymore Vol. 2
David Sylvian - Secrets of the Beehive
Gate - The Dew Line
Robyn Hitchcock - I Often Dream of Trains
Angelo Badalamenti - Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me

<< Cardiacs - Sing to God >>
Nice to see another Cardiacs fan here. This album is so friggin' amazing it escapes words. Why the HELL Cardiacs isn't mentioned in the same breath as Zappa, Beatles, Zorn, etc., is as criminal as Britney winning awards for her vocal talents.
Okay...(breathe)...I'm better now.

hi guys,
in case youre not familiar with it, sony has a stravinsky pkg called
"the LP collection," as theyve done for glenn gould.
it's all the original LPs in mini LP replica jackets w labels etc...
also LP timings. midprice i think mebbe 11 discs.
still short of the big box. and it doesnt say SBM remaster
on em as it does the gould set. was gonna'buy em but
since i do have all the LPs in fine sound...
also- dutton labs has a reissue series (dist. harmonia mundi usa)
that Lists at $6/98/disc
and one is ansermet's petrouchka + sym of psalms
. just bought it but havent listened yet.
always love ansermet's conducting and dutton does great transfers usually,
this series taken from 1940s decca ffrr.

Which is a real shame, as those recordings are one of the monuments of
recording industry - quite a rare initiative to record a living's artist
entire works...>>

I think it irratated more than a few people too, due to the amount of mail it created. Looks like trouble again...;-)

It's more interesting to me than *any* discussion of Mike Patton.
