The Best Album Ever.
The Best Album Ever.
This week I made a realization -- as I was driving in my car running some errands for my business, I'm listening to this album and each song that comes up is a new feeling, joy, sadness, awe... and I'm thinking about how great this album is and how it's got to be one of the greatest ever (IMHO) and it dawned on me -- in my own personal taste, this is the greatest album ever. And it knocked my long time favorite album off of its pedestal.
That album? Sea Change, by Beck. And I'm not even a Beck fan really... but that album is the quintessential work of art to me, it is perfect in every way. You can really feel the emotion in the songs, and you can appreciate the craftsmanship that went into the composition and the production.
So, what are your favorite albums of all time? Here's the rules -- up to 5 so the list doesn't get too dense, no "OHMIGOD that album sux!" or junk like that, let's just see what the Ableton community would want in their backpack if they were marooned on an island.
My other four:
Quique -- Seefeel
Second Toughest In The Infants -- Underworld
Dark Side Of The Moon -- Pink Floyd
Lost Souls -- Doves

I agree, five is really tough!! The first two are the albums that got me started in eletronic music.
Paul Oakenfold - Global Underground 002: New York (I know it says 007 on the website, but I have it in front of me and its 002)
Crystal Method - Vegas
DJ Shadow - Entroducing
Dj Krush and Toshinori Kondo - Ki-Oku
and last but certainly not least
Sasha - Involver (without this and his radio one mix, I would have never ever known about my new favorite program!!!)
