Desert Island Selection
I'm off to my Desert Island and not coming back. There's room for 25 releases and a toothbrush in my suitcase, these are the one's that have stood the 'test of time'.
-
1
Comforting somehow, this music just makes me feel 'better'! -
2
Icy cold, precise & enthralling IDM. -
3
Exciting, weird, darkly humorous. -
4
Eclectic IDM with tantalising & sparse 'Infinite' guitar. -
5
Spiritually refining, peaceful, precise. -
6
Putting the background centre-stage, beautifully. -
7
Essential to anyone interested in the development of 'sampling', and fantastic in itself. -
8
Black leather, Berlin, Brian (Eno), Bowie's back! -
9
Probably the finest example of 'Art Rock meets Ambient'. -
10
Faultless Ambient, balancing texture and melody effortlessly. -
11
Sublime Jazz/Ambient fusion with Hassell's unique Trumpeting. -
12
Intense, pulverising Rock (with added intelligence!) -
13
Music akin to watching a beautiful monument being constructed, then it vanishes! -
14
Bleak relentless riffs, with acerbic lyrical counterpoint. -
15
Music as a vicious 'audio assault course', a palm dampening head-rush! -
16
80+ mins of Rock meets Classical meets 'Myth', the quintessence of it's genre. -
17
Sinuous, fresh and original, it occupies a place of it's own in the crowded 'Electronic' genre. -
18
Germanic(!), hard, crisp, and a kick up Rock's bloated bottom. -
19
Drum 'n' Bass/Electronica/Jazzy mash-up. You will swear you CD player is malfunctioning in places ;) -
20
Do I really have to tell you how Hot / Cool this album STILL is? -
21
Murky, Ethereal, a real sonic journey. -
22
Synth-pop that bounds along and takes itself seriously. -
23
Like a paella, full of all sorts of good and strange things. -
24
The best of British Rock/Pop synthesis. -
25
'Awaken' to be played at my funeral service. Wakeman's church organ solo would raise the dead!
