Talib Kweli & DJ Hi Tek - Reflection Eternal
I can't listen to just one track on this disc, I have to listen start to finish to the whole thing every time I listen to it, arguably, IMO, the greatest hip hop album of all time.
Phish - Billy Breathes & Rift
Two "concept" albums that again, I have to listen to all the way through every time I hear them. Bill Breathes is definitely great bedtime music, and the dreams theme to Rift is great. I'm a HUGE Phish fan (Have a Phish tattoo, did two tours, pretty much obsessive for a while), and out of everything I've ever heard them do, live or studio, I'd say I could make a strong argument as to why Billy Breathes is the greatest thing they've ever done.
Grateful Dead - Shakedown Street
Come on... I was once quite hipped out... This album kills... :p
A Tribe Called Quest - The Love Movement & Beats Rhymes & Life
If you like chill hip hop with a bit of jazzy vibe and you haven't listened to ATCQ yet, you're missing out. Beats Rhymes & Life is a bit more sample heavy along the lines of DJ Premiere style productions, The Love Movement is just pure sex on wax.
Beck - Sea Change
I love this album, it's comforted me in my times of most crackiness. I have one very vivid memory in particular of listening to this in bed around 10 in the morning after a certain Hernan/Sharam/Oakey show this summer... ;)
Gang Starr - Full Clip: A Decade of Gang Starr
DJ Premiere might be the all time greatest producer in the history of hip hop, Guru's flow is sick. Again, a must if you're into hip hop at all.
John Scofield w/ MMW - A Go Go
Straight chill jazz, another album that after a really long night of pure EDM crackiness has really helped me and friends come home and just chill out, listen to some mellow ass jazz, smoke bowls, and come down.
MMW - Combustication, The Dropper, and End of the World Party
Combustication and The Dropper are pure Jazz trio goodness, with Combustication having some pretty interesting contemporary collaborations on it. Everyone who is on TA should listen to "End of the World Party" just for the fact that it's soooooooo electronically influenced. MMW are truly phenomenal, and will definitely make Jazz accessible to those of you who aren't familiar.
Pearl Jam - Vs. and Vitalogy
Another band I'm a huge fan of, Vs. is a legendary album that a lot of people seem to have missed with great tracks like Dissident and Daughter. Vitalogy is just a weird and interesting album for them, but I love it. They also put on a better live show than pretty much any band I've ever seen. Interesting side note: The time I freaked ou on 2c-T-7 was at a PJ show :p Also, another band that I have a tattoo of.
And last, but certainly not least...
The Talking Heads - Remain in Light
Probably one of the single greatest albums of all time, it's definitely in my top 5, if not my favorite album of all time. it just flows incredibly well, and the weird funk of the Talking Heads is just something I can never get enough of. Born Under Punches is pure, unadulterated, dirty funk.
I also want to highly reccommend The Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense, just because it's a great live album, and it has a great version of my favorite TH track "Naive Melody (This must be the place.)
Well, that was fun for me... I really hope that at least some of you decide to check out some new tunes you might not have heard before, or a genre that you wouldn't have checked out... And if any of you want any more info, or some help with "experiencing" this music, shoot me a pm...
Cheers,
RJT |

I am he who walks beyond the cycle of Tan
A guinea systematic survey
On the heavens long before the spells of Kimet
I had advanced cosmos journey apologist
Substantiate statements
I commands the aspects of creation
Astronomers cant even interpret my ancient civilisation
Of Andromeda
The Dragon of Dracos come touch the inner sun
I went forth, a life force out of the core of Epsu
Bring forth the possibilities of solar energy into infinity
Like a Nimbo; endless, trapped it, Kingu;
A myth too ignorant Like the Sumerians
Explorer of the solar system like Galileo
Bring the mist of Mahabharata
Celestial God symbolic to the disagreeable complex mathematics
Of the Hebrew bible
Receive and transmit the letters of the Rasqiniaans
Who have seen the 3rd suns
I am like Milton Milankovich
Who outline the theory of ground philosophies
Messiah of all biblical tablets
Watch how the process of creation
links with the measurements of Tan
Scientifical like a geologist
I bring the geological changes to the world
Like the prophecies of the Book of Revelations
Jedi Mind Tricks - Crop Circle Community
ORLY?
I smell ignorance. |

The Songs of Distant Earth is where the money is at [aside from all the Tubular Bells albums - hence my screen name, haha]. Guitars was pretty solid too.
have you heard his new one, Light & Shade at all? i've only heard mixed reviews and don't know if i want to get it or not. |

No, I haven't heard it yet, I might have to listen to it somewhere before deciding if I should get it or not. Btw, have you ever seen the guy live? He's insane...I was lucky enough to catch him in Zurich during his TB2 tour. |

lucky bastard!!! i never have seen him [as his popularity in the states is pretty much next to nothing, compared to Europe], but i do have the video from the Art in Heaven concert on New Years Eve 2000 [i think] - but that was pretty slick. |

| I like some classical. Mainly Brahams-style. Dark and powerful. Also like most contemporary classical. Some rap (the meaningful kind, not the stuff about ho's and pimps). I despise rock music. |

Is that the show he did in Berlin, or was that one called Millenium Bell? I was in Berlin that week, had to leave 2 days before the concert though:( |

| I've been into various forms of post rock and space rock for a while now, but of late it's been all about the metal. Death metal, power metal, black metal, prog metal, folk metal, thrash... you name it. |
