Thanks for all the suggestions, guys. This Desert Island series has caused me to pick up new CDs by This Mortal Coil, Portishead Live, Buckethead (?)… Can’t wait.

I'm glad at least a couple of my suggestions grabbed your attention. Just in case you didn't notice it when buying it, the Portishead album is also available as DVD and it's pretty good. Impeccable audio quality and a very nice camera work.

LOL, was Werner Klemperer (Col. Klink) Otto's son? Can't remember. Sure looks like him.

I know nossing, I see nossing, I tink nossing...

He was a very talented violinist, other than that I.... Schuuuuultz!!

We'll have to wait to ship out until the Steven Wilson re-mix of "Songs From The Wood" comes out in May.

That's great. I may wait for the standalone CD July release.

I see that he offered the Chicago II remix back in January, so I went ahead and snagged a copy of that. Thanks.

Would somebody who is totally into classical music appreciate something like Apparat - Krieg und Frieden?
I like alot of music where the lines are blurred between genres and sometimes wonder where those lines are for other people.

Listening right now ... I'd say yes. But I also liked Walls a few years back.

Yes, Werner was Otto's son and a talented violinist and conductor in his own right.

Some great selections here, people! I'm a wee bit late with this impossible task, but here's my non-LAME (har har) attempt:

-Les Claypool's Fearless Flying Frog Brigade - Live Frogs 1 & 2 (1 contains an epic cover of Shine On You Crazy Diamond, and 2 contains a wonderfully executed Pink Floyd's Animals)
-Critters Buggin - Stampede
-Garage a Trois - Always Be Happy, But Stay Evil (or the May 18, 2011 show from Pittsburgh)
-The Pixies - Bossanova [MFSL]
-Tool - 10,000 Days (or Lateralus)

Honourable mentions:

-Art Blakey - Art Blakey!!!!! Jazz Messengers!!!!!
-Beck - Sea Change [MFSL]
-Boards of Canada - A Beautiful Place Out in the Country EP (or The Campfire Headphase)
-Floating Action - Desert Etiquette
-Bill Frisell - with Dave Holland & Elvin Jones, (or) Quartet, (or) Unspeakable, (or, countless live performances and other albums)
-Leo Kottke - My Father's Face
-Fela Kuti - Best of the Black President
-Pink Floyd - Is There Anybody Out There? [The Wall Live]
-Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - The Live Anthology (5 disc version... all the Petty you'd ever need)
-Radiohead - anything after OK Computer
-Roger Waters - Amused to Death (either the CD or the new 24/192 would suffice)
-Neil Young - Live at Massey Hall 1971 (or countless others... ugh)

There's simply too many others from Ween, Zappa, John Zorn, Béla Fleck, Brian Eno, Coltrane, Talking Heads, Medeski, Martin & Wood, Marc Ribot, Dylan, The Band, Miles, Ellington, and, and, and....
I'd have to just bring my hard drive enclosure, as I've got over 7 TB of stuff (including a lot of live recordings).

Good to hear. I found out there is another relation here/ Aparat concist of a guy formerly known as Moderat and he runs a label named...here it comes...Shiitkatapult.

Honourable mentions...why didnt I think of those?

 

[bosiemoncrieff]

Enjoying the overture to Das Liebesverbot. Still figuring out this new interface though...

I never got used to the old one so maybe thats why the new one doesnt bother me much.
The black banner at the bottem with the scrolling text makes me wanna drink less though.
That might just be a good thing

 

[RCBinTN]

That was Sgt Schultz...LOL.

 

[Letmebefrank]

John banner was a good man who lost a lot of his family to the holocaust, he even served in the U.S. Army during WWII.

-Roger Waters - Amused to Death (either the CD or the new 24/192 would suffice)

I was going to suggest those too, but I realized I would be cheating again

Amused to Death is such a fantastic album that in my opinion can compete head to head with any Pink Floyd's one. Sea Change from Beck is so so good that most probably, in the future critics will cite it as his best work ever (some are already saying that).

I sincerely hope you're not saying Ok Computer is a bad Radiohead album, cause it is THE BEST Radiohead album. If you disagree, PM me and we can do the arrangements for a duel.

 

[ColtMrFire]

OK Computer is excellent, but it's not my favorite of theirs. It has a syrupy saccarine quality I don't care for. I prefer their later more experimental stuff which is when they really started to drift from the pack of rock bands. And yes, Sea Change is god like.
