Every Friday morning on KCSM radio, they have a musician into the studio and they ask him/her what 5 albums they would want to have if stranded on a deserted island. I got to thinking about mine, it's tough to decide but I had to settle on music that stays interesting no matter how many times I hear it. Add yours in the comments.
In no particular order:
1. Abdullah Ibrahim - Cape Town Revisited
A live recording, made when Abdullah returned to his home of Cape Town following the end of Apartheid.
2. Dave Brubeck Quartet- Time In
Brubeck's most famous album, "Time Out" was groundbreaking with its clever play with time signatures, but "Time In" is where he really lets you in on his secrets.
3. Thelonious Monk Quartet - Misterioso
I never get tired of listening to Monk, because every song leaves you with new questions.
4. Mr. Bungle - California
Perfect, orchestrated insanity.
5. Tortoise -TNT
Rock that needs no lyrics.
If I could bring 10:
Tony Rice - The Bluegrass Guitar Collection
Jamie Lidell - Multiply
Latyrx - The Album
Soul Coughing - Ruby Vroom
Primus - Sailing the Seas of Cheese
