What's on your music player?

Recommended Posts

Me, when I move from one place to another, I usually add a mix of old classics that I can go back to when I need to hear some comforting stuff, with music that I still need to discover (forcing me to check these albums out) and some stuff that I do know, but feel like I need to explore more.

Also, there has to be a big enough mix of styles. Something of everything. Here's what's my 2 Gb eyePod holds today. What's on yours? And why? :)

 

Pole - 2 [minimal, atmospheric, abstract and clicky dub]

Waldeck - Ballroom Stories [jazzy, loungey stuff]

dj Mint - Messy Lec [fat ass electro]

Cannibal Ox - The Cold Vein [underground hiphop

Pink Floyd - The Delicate Sound of Thunder [PF collection, didn't know which album choose, heard each single one a million times]

Marzipan & Mustard - Fuze [recommended idm-ish stuff that I needed to check out]

Radiohead - Hail to the Thief [one of Radiohead's albums I don't know so well yet]

The Congos - Heart of the Congos [one of many Lee Perry produced reggae classics]

Jon Hopkins - Insides [een van de mooiste idm releases van 2009]

Near the Parenthesis - L'Eixample [nice clicks, blips, beeps and melodies]

Mos Def & Talib Kweli - Blackstar [one of my alltime favorite hiphop records]

VA - Lo Editions Presents Ninja Tune [collection of ninja tunes, didn't know which artist album to put on my eyePod]

Pink Floyd - Obscured by Clouds [Pink Floyd created this album for a movie]

Organized Konfusion - Organized Konfusion [OLDskool! hippedy hop]

Tangerine Dream - Phaedra [synth ambient classic of prog/synth rock groep from 1974]

Radioactive Man - Radioactive Man [electro, idm, house, whatever... Seraph recommended this artist to me, first album I checked out I loved, this one I have yet to rate]

Plastikman - Sheet One [another classic, this time I'd call it minimal, atmospheric, trippy techno. Doesn't have all that much in common with what they call 'minimal' these days]

The Flaming Lips - The Soft Bulletin [group that I don't love all the way yet, although they have made some really beautiful songs]

The Polyphonic Spree - Together We're Heavy [kind of hippy singalong band with I don't know how many members in dresses]

Mikey Dread - World War III [Jamaicaanse reggae-dj, good old dubby shit]

Downloaded most of 'em, I did know that Beastie Boys already, I have listened and really dug the Heliocentrics indeed, but the rest is on the waiting list to be downloaded onto my iPod, so I can give it some serious listening time. This weekend I'll have to refresh what's on my iPod, so next week I can let you know more. :)

I like to compile 1Gig minidiscs of tracks that go together nicely and like listening to them as a solitary idea with each disc. I have about 30, each with about 7 albums worth. These are some of them - I get a great amount of valuable listening fun from them and my minidisc player sounds superior with its HD amp.

 

 

 

Techra Tracks - I got the idea of this about tracks that seem to fit with a futuristic suburban environment, and listening on the bus or in McDonalds. Part 1 has:

 

Freq - Strange Attractors

Atmos - 2nd Brigade

Kruger and Coyle - Randy Expander

Atmos - Overlap

Electric Universe - Unify

 

.. plus a few other tracks I can't remember the names of.

 

I really can't be bothered proceeding so I'll just share with you my minidisc concepts:

 

 

Fun Tracks - tracks that are fun and sophisticated, bright, a nice fun track family etc.

Future Tracks - tracks that give a sense of the future

Cool Tracks - tracks that sound cool, rathar than fun

Darkboy Tracks - Tracks that characterize a Darkboy stuff like:

 

Session - linkin park

The Drake Equation - seyton

Money - orb club mix

Rise - phony orphants

Smooth Criminal - michael jackson

Vordhosbn - Aphex Twin

 

I really can't be bothered with this either but I really can't see how I can be enjoying music more.... :)

I have one of the newer generations of ipod, with room for 8 gb.

I put them in by album.

 

Pink Floyd - The Wall cd1 and 2. - Classic.

 

Mikael Simpson - B sider og andre triste radiomix, Some music to tickle my danish nationality, a mix of dubby rock and pop, melachonic at the same time, but not really something other than danes might enjoy.

 

Eat Static - Back to earth, didn't feel it as accomplished as an album but has some great songs in it.

 

Smith And Mighty - Bass is maternal. An old cd by my standards that i feel is very retro, great hits in between.

 

Evan Bluetech - call of the wild EP, a free release i thought interesting. Very good actually.

 

Electric Universe - Cosmic Experience, a little something to even out alot of the down tempo music i have on my ipod, i don't listen to it that much though.

 

Thievery Corperation - Cosmic game, one of their better cd's that i like to listen to.

 

Bob marley & the Wailers, Destiny: live at studio one.

 

Prodigy presents: The Dirtcganber Sessions vol 1.

Kong Salami - Fredspiben. Danish Reggaepop.

 

Square Pusher - Hard Normal Daddy, i don't know what to say. Its a little off.

 

36 - Hypersona, most definetly also the album which i have enjoyed most lately. So beautiful, i recommend everybody to download the release its free.

 

Ineffable Mysteries from shpongleland - Didn't capture me that lot, haven't listen too much to the release but i foresee it will grow on me.

 

John Coltrane - A love supreme.

 

Alien Mental - Mind Hack, one of the most random sounding darkpsy i've ever heard, Won't say too much because i don't know how i feel about it.

 

Brian Eno - More music For films

 

Dub Tractor - more or less mono - One of my favourite artists, also dubby poppish sound with ingeniously implemented guitar.

 

Solar Fields - Movements, for the long trainrides where i can relax and wander off into beautiful soundscapes

 

Kettel - Myam James 2, one of my newer additions to my small and humble collection. I love it.

The Killers - Sawdust.

Evan bartholomew - Secret entries into darkness, I was dissapointed in this release, although i think highly of Somnia Records and i enjoeyed both P. Laos and Kilowatts release.

 

Kid koala - some of my best friends Are Djs

 

Amygdala - The Sprawl EP, When i'm in a hurry in the morning and want to make sure i make it in time to school.

 

Robert Rich & B. Lustmord - Stalker.

 

Electric Universe - stardiver, an old gem i rediscovered whilst going about in a record store that was closing down.
