10 Cds for a desert Island

1. CAN: Future Days ( 1973 )

Impressionist Music not our own planet: Abstract, glacial, unfathomable. A vaporous-,- sprinkled- climates succession for a whispering, almost audible voice among so much sonic mist. The future that anticipated the electronic scene present-day, sometimes somewhat frivolous and in general less dared than the Krautrock seventy, once was  led among others for Can.

2. GENESIS: Selling England By The Pound ( 1973 )

Climax of the symphonic progressive, in order to my pleasure, and the best Genesis moment. You act essential as Firth Of Fifth and Cinema Show - progressive - they stick up from inside the valuable legacy the band, posteriorly adulterated for defame her(subj) neo-formula  that they show to the group in his creative peak -.

3. GENTLE GIANT: Octopus ( 1972 )

True riddle vocal and rhythmical and angular and melodies complicated characterize the style of this band that has given the kind, one of the more eclectic and refined. The dense writing Knots's or The Advent Of Panurge's contrapuntístic - to mention only two of the eight tentacles that conform this album - does not have comparison in the folk music.

4. HATFIELD AND THE NORTH: Hatfield and the North ( 1973 )

The essence canterburiana in one of his maximum expressions: Exquisite melancholy and absurd humor in a musical context that repaired and improvised passengers and vocal sections and instrumentses, all sharp for a complex harmonious syntax and rhythmics take turns   in. To Dave Stewart ( Egg ), Richard Sinclair ( Caravan ), Pip Pyle ( Gong ) and Phil Miller ( Matching Mole ), they sink (subj) nothing less than Robert Wyatt ( Soft Machine ), Geoff Leigh ( Henry Cow ) and sublimate them(subj) The Northettes's voices.

5. KING CRIMSON: Red ( 1974 )

The the first things pilots Converge with here the group's albums, with his powerful and at the same time subtle winds section, and Lark's rhythmical and electronic findings Love (subj) Tongues in Aspic. Definite hell crimsonian, where Starless makes himself known as his work extraordinary. The virulent Red and One More Red Nightmare follow him closely.

6. MAHAVISHNU ORCHESTRA: Inner Mountain Flame ( 1971 )

The cosmopolitan character than proof the band's formation ( in her as Sri Chimnoy would be necessary to include his inspiring guru ), it is  appreciated also in his music, I join of cross them(subj) cultural enter Oriente and more Occidente fruitful that they may meet(subj). Vertigo, intensity and deep spirituality singularize the Jazz Fusion's this capital work.

7. MIRIODOR: Jongleries Elastiques ( 1995 )

This originalísimo conceptual album becomes centered swim less than in the circus and his desopilantes characters. All a waste of instrumental juggling, at the service of an appropriately fascinating music and once was  risked.

8. Mr. ROBERT WYATT: Rock music Bottom ( 1974 )

Robert Wyatt counts  himself among the more complete musicians and the kind's originals, having created an exemplary work that he materialized an only personality  in, point in the vowel I eat in the instruments. Rock music Bottom proves to be key to understand his peculiar musical vision, once was  characterized for a tenuous equilibrium among abstraction and emotion and full climates of melancholy and it misses beauty.

9. THINKING PLAGUE (SUBJ): In Extremis ( 1998 )

It's probable that Thinking Plague be (subj) the progressive band more important that it emerged of the EEUUS of late years – stylistically talking to -. Here, camarísticos propose a unexpected combination of resources and symphonic, with a vocal treatment, instrumental and technological innovator. In short, a songs cycle, very complex and eclectic, than mark with range poles distinctively the kind's recent evolution.

10. UNIVERS ZERO: Ceux du dehors ( 1981 )

I join of the more perfect examples of the fusion of the front-line chamber music with the rock music. Univers Zero created a powerful and cathartic, unusual- stamps's music and rhythmics disquiets and disconcerting. In this album, the acoustic and the electric, the Gothic and the futurist, they articulate  themselves masterfully, lighting an idiosyncratic, untransferable style.

11. U TOTEM: U Totem ( 1990 )

Meeting two - potencies summit of the progressive forefront than renews North American ( 5uu 's and Motor Totemist Guild ), and enrich the spring camarística with Your instrumental Excellency and dared to creativity. Successful sonorous, stylistic- variety's experiments amazing, that they rival them of the venerable Henry Cow.

12. YES: Close To The Edge ( 1972 )

They crystallize all of the musical elements In this album and the ideology's essential lyric poets YESiana. Only three themes that defy, by force of formal economy, emotional austerity and discreet virtuosity, the cynic's ill-willed reproaches and no less ignorant person rocker criticism, it as it is  noticed specially in the extensive symphonic work that gives him title, perhaps the kind's more successful – esthetics and commercially -.

NOW I CAN DIE SO GLAD.!

Yes - CTTE

Keith Jarrett - The Koln Concert

Brian Eno - Music for Airports

Runrig - Proterra

PFM - Per Un Amico

Paatos - Kallocain

Sigur Ros - ()

White Willow - Storm Season

King Crimson - Heavy Construkction (I can leave disk 3 behind to sneak in an 11th - after all Manticore chose 12 CDs for his DI top 10 )

Pavlov's Dog - Pampered Menial

Candy Apple Red - The Difference Engine (gotta love your own stuff !)

The entire PoS discography and a few others.  Kind of tired and really not in the mood to think about this.  The PoS albums would be good since I never grow tired of them and I could just sit around figuring out the meaning.  It would probably take me an eternity just completely figuring out BE alone.

I'll only allow myself one from each band otherwise my top ten will be full of Marillion albums:

1) Marillion - Clutching at Straws (Rapidly becoming one of my favourites, I think it can stand up to moer listens than Misplaced Childhood)
2) Pink Floyd - The Division Bell (Gilmour's best guitar work IMO)
3) Pendragon - Not of this World (I'm one of the few who thinks this is Pendragon's best album. Probably because it was the first of their albums I heard)
4) Camel - The Snow Goose (It was a tough call between this and Moonmadness)
5) Mostly Autumn - The Spirit of Autmun Passed (Helms Deep alone could keep me occupied for hours)
6) Riverside - Out of Myself (I don't understand why so many people are saying Second Life Syndrome is better)
7) Genesis - Foxtrot (Supper's Ready edges this album over Selling England... by a small margin)
8) Arena - Song from the Lions Cage (The last couple of minutes of the epic "Solomon" make this album a must)
9) Red Sand - Mirror of Insanity (This album, although short, stands up really well to repeated listening)
10) Porcupine Tree - In Absentia (Some fantastic melodies on this album that just keep groing on you, no matter how many times you have heard them)
