my cds were semi-recently taken off the shelf and put into piles for writing purposes, but i'm undoing that now. what i'm doing at the moment is listening to my entire cd collection, in alphabetical-chronological order, as i'm focusing on the writing. this has the effect of drowning out my gross neighbours.
what is listed here will be my physical cds - no bandcamp streams, no tapes, no records, no mp3s. like most people, i don't buy a lot of cds nowadays, but i actually want that to change. i want to collect old and new cds. i want the library. in fact, send me your old cds if you don't want them - email me. more bookshelves can be found on curbs or for cheap second-hand. my steady decrease in cd purchasing over the last 20 years means that i don't have many cds released after 2005 and have almost none released after 2010.
my cd collection has also taken a few hits over the years as i've needed to sell cds a couple of times in my life in order to exist. what's left remains substantive, but what that means is that it's also been purged. this is not the collection it was or the collection i want it to be but it's still a collection of unusual music that i'm proud of and want to be more proud of.
some of these are in fact rare and out of print and if they're in this list it means i do in fact have an actual physical copy of the cd.

| claude debussy | preudes II | 1912 | france | 0 | claude debussy is a unique accident in the history of western music, as a discovered illiterate prodigy whose brilliance was in approaching music theory intuitively rather than being taught it in a school by a master. debussy's contribution to the deconstruction of western music theory is so profound that music historians talk of music before and after debussy, as they talk of music before and after beethoven and before and after bach. in debussy, and for the first time in western music history, the sterile and mathematical rules of pythagorean music theory become suggestions and are even often rendered outright irrelevant in the composition process, to be replaced by a strictly intuitive approach as to what feels right. this replacement of theory with intuition has been described as creating an effect of blurred notes and fuzzy audio and variously labeled as impressionism or symbolism, but this is a comparison to the painting of the period and is rather imprecise; the idea that debussy finally truly picked up where beethoven left off is a better analysis. as such, debussy was the true successor to beethoven, finally, and several generations removed. i only currently have two debussy cds, but it takes in his most important works: la mer, the nocturnes and the two books of piano preludes. i previously had a cd with prelude a l'apres-midi d'un faune, the images and the printemps suite, in addition to la mer and the nocturnes, but i sold it because it had a scratch and only replaced it with a disc with the latter two. while i would like to fill in the holes in my debussy collection, and actually consider it a priority, it should be pointed out that, as an intuitive composer that did not know how to read or write, not all of debussy's works are substantive or compelling and that these four opuses are truly at the top of the heap, in terms of his artistic output. his works tend to sound relatively similar. replacing the aforementioned pieces is a priority, but there is not a lot left after that. i initially became interested in debussy via reading music history texts on western classical music (i found a first year music history textbook at a garage sale when i was about 15 and greatly enjoyed reading it), but debussy is also one of the things my sister played, so it was frequently heard in the house. you really can't go wrong with debussy, you just have to realize that his core works are not voluminous and that a 2xcd set with piano preludes on one disc and la mer and a few orchestral pieces on the other is really all there actually is. |

| cocteau twins | heaven or las vegas | 1990 | uk+ire | 3 | cocteau twins emerged out of the darker side of the scottish post-rock scene and sound like scottish banshees wailing from pre-history, seeking to escape from the bounds of the writing in order to track down and scalp some dastardly roman soldiers. well, sometimes. elizabeth fraser is not singing in gaelic, but she'd might as well be to many listeners, as the music has such a brooding, celtic tonality that it sounds like she ought to be. this spooky, pre-historical, celtic, pagan presentation from the subarctic fringe of the scottish islands may or may not be intentional. the rumour i heard was that the cocteau twins stumbled through the 80s doing too many drugs and wanted to write normal music when they sobered up, which very quickly led them nowhere at all. they never recovered. i initially explored the cocteau twins over mp3 in the early 00s, and have slowly picked up cds in used bins when i've found them; these discs were collected sporadically as i came across them, and the holes are overdue to be filled in. i am missing my copy of garlands, apparently. |

| nine inch nails | 2008 | us | 2 | halo 26. i legitimately enjoyed this when it came out, but it's certainly a shift in a different direction that morphed into way too many generic soundtracks. i have not found subsequent nine inch nails releases to be very exciting, but the trilogy of eps does have some interesting instrumental sections. rather, i think the most exciting thing reznor has done since 2005 is the piece he did for the tetsuo soundtrack. i will likely eventually purchase the eps, but the rest of it will be for cheap or not at all. | |
| nine inch nails | 2007 | us | 3 | halo 24. i tried to listen to with teeth at least 50 times and have never enjoyed it. it's like his brain fell out or something. year zero was a legitimate attempt to return to form and he gets a B for effort, but it's just not as good as his earlier material. i should have a copy of halo 25 but just never bought it. with teeth was now over 20 years ago, and it's an open question whether i should try to collect it or not given that it's just a flat out bad record; it'll have to be in the $2 bin or not at all. | |
| nine inch nails | 2002 | us | 1 | i might have picked up a version of halo 15 if i saw it, but i never did. i tried to listen to halo 16, as i wanted the abstract remixes, and was devastated by how awful it was. i do not tend to enjoy live records. but, i mail ordered halo 17b for the instrumental pieces and consider it reznor's last truly great release. | |
| nine inch nails | 1999 | us | 2 | halo 14. sort of. when this album was released, nine inch nails had been my favourite band for over five years but i was lukewarm about it. i liked the instrumental tracks (i was listening to post-rock and experimental art-rock like sonic youth, so the instrumental parts made sense to me) but i really did not like the delves into arena rock and found some of the vocals to be so cringey that it was unlistenable. i resolved this by deriving my own tracklisting and burning a new cd with 14 tracks: the way out is through, the frail, we're in this together, the fragile, just like you imagined, even deeper, pilgrimmage, the mark has been made, ripe, underneath it all, complication, the new flesh, the day the world went away (quiet), the great below. this let me enjoy something that was otherwise developing in an opposite direction as i was. i eventually sold the 2xcd store version. in 2016, reznor released an instrumental version of the fragile that i have not yet picked up but which i have listened to via digital audio and which i think should have been the actual release. i believe reznor has acknowledged that the album featured heavy alcohol use, and that this heavy alcohol use led to bad artistic decisions. i would give the full 1999 release a "4" and the 2016 re-release a "1". | |

| chris cornell | euphoria morning | 1999 | us | 3 | chris cornell was initially the drummer for minneapolis/seattle "slow blues" band soundgarden, before taking over vocal duties and playing a dominant role in the invention of grunge. soundgarden was an extremely popular rock band in the mid-90s, but the band was unhappy with the characteristics of it's audience (soundgarden formed out of university in 1984, making them almost ten years older than nirvana and closer to twenty years older than their audience in 1995, and they seem to have been alienated by it, as they wanted to return to their club roots, while continuing to play in arenas. maybe they wanted to be sonic youth. rather than let it go, they disbanded.). this record (which features the band eleven as backup) was released in a brief phase when cornell was trying to be a croony rock star, and before he joined rage against the machine and formed audioslave. i actually like the record, while acknowledging it's flaws, but i understand why a lot of soundgarden or audioslave fans wouldn't. i picked this up in 1999 in a corporate store, close to the release date, as soundgarden was actually one of my favourite bands in the 90s (and you can tell if you listen to my guitar playing. soundgarden was one of the primary bands that i learned how to play guitar to.). i have avoided audioslave and will need to evaluate it properly at some point; i used to have an eleven record, and this disc is fairly similar to it. |
| chris connelly | phenobarb bambalam | 1992 | us | 3 | chris connelly was best described as a friend of the chicago/wax trax! industrial music making crew. he wasn't really an industrial musician himself, but more of a songwriter; however, his name appears on a startling number of 80s and 90s industrial releases, mostly as a guitarist or a backup singer. he seems to have always been hanging around, for a few years. this record was mostly written by martin atkins and has some members of ministry playing on it. the copy i have is a wax trax! promo release with not for resale stamped on it, that i bought in a second-hand bin c. 1998ish. there are other chris connely cds. |
| chester thompson | a joyful noise | 1991 | us | 3 | chester thompson was one of the more talented drummers of the latter part of the 20th century, and known primarily for his creative work with frank zappa and his live gig filling in for phil collins in genesis, so phil could sing. this was also in the $0.50 overflow bin and was purchased to evaluate it, strictly. it is a cheesy 80s/90s electronic jazz record that would cause most people to cringe, but it is competently enough put together and can work as background music, if you've spontaneously broken your leg and can't get up to change the disc. it may have some left-field interest to fans of post-rock acts like tortoise. i would again choose to evaluate anything with chester thompson's name on it, for cheap. |
| charlie hunter & pound for pound | return of the candyman | 1998 | us | 3 | charlie hunter is best known as the guitarist for a handful of hip-hop acts that were popular around the turn of the century, but that is his paid gig; he'd rather be focusing on his eight-string guitar and writing tributes to guitarists you've never heard of, like joe pass and lenny breau. the record is initially not very flashy and might be disappointing, until you realize he's playing multiple parts with his hands. it's more technical than it sounds. nonetheless, this is a musician's record, and is not particularly notable as one, at that. i found this in the cbc overflow bin and purchased it to evaluate it, but i was familiar with charlie parker's work with michael franti and spearhead, specifically (because i dated somebody that liked that kind of hip-hop). i would opt to evaluate a different release in the right scenario. |
| cevin key | the ghost of each room | 2001 | canada | 3 | cevin key was initially the drummer for a synth-pop band called images in vogue before quitting the band to focus on a side project he called skinny puppy, which he spent the next ten or so years in as either a hanger on or as the main writer (depending on who you asked, in 1996). key's subsequent post-goettel discography, or lack thereof, has clarified the point relatively clearly. ogre would rather work with mark walk. music for cats is probably 95% dwayne, whereas the ghost of each room was put together from outtakes meant for other projects, like the tear garden, and features other collaboraters in prominent roles. while whatever it is that key actually does, besides play drums and apparently sell drugs, is unclear, he does have the ability to pull together interesting pieces of music written by his friends into enjoyable records. i bought the 1997 release at record runner in 1997 and was given the 2001 release as a gift in 2001. i believe there are two further "cevin key" records (one mostly written by ken marshall, and the other written by some kids from japan he's been following around), both of which i'll need to pick up at the right time. |

| can | ege bamyasi | 1972 | germany | 1 | can emerged out of what was then called the german krautrock scene (that name has fallen out of favour, athough i don't think it's very racist, myself) as a sort of half supergroup and half vehicle for a shifting cast of dominant characters. while can is known for a specific drum pattern called motorik, the truth is that can's music shifted extremely dramatically over a short period of time, from heavy sequencer music to davis-influenced abstact jazz to hendrixian psych rock with a progressive flair, and finally into more digestible and popular dance music forms. in the end, they collapsed into disco, like everybody else. these two particuar sa-cds, which are the most abstract in their discography, were christmas presents, but they were regifted; my dad's friend dieter gave them to him, and my dad subsequently gave them to me, as he thought they were "weird". they are in fact amongst the weirdest music ever made. i was familiar with them at the time via mp3 downloads, but my physical can collection at that point was composed strictly of live bootlegs picked up in second hand stores and a couple of the spoon releases (which have since disappeared). i personally generally prefer can as a live band, but these two recordings are extremely important in the history of rock music. i am not prioritizing the purchase of future can (besides the spoon releases), but would pick up any can cheap if i saw it. |

| cabaret voltaire | red mecca | 1981 | uk+ire | 8 | cabaret voltaire is often credited as being one of the first artists to devleop the electro-industrial sound using tapes, samplers and sequencers but the well-informed know that the claim is dubious. more truthful is that they may have invented a specific marketing image. i found this in a used bin and didn't expect much from it, and had my expectations met. they are something everybody interested in abstract electronic music will need to grapple with on their own, but i find them overrated and mostly kind of boring. to my knowledge, they notably never came even close to selling any substantive number of records. i would buy any cabaret voltaire i found anywhere for cheap, but their records are generally marked up very highly, and i've broadly decided they aren't worth the inflated price. i would expect that these prices will eventually come down, if they haven't already. |
| missing records: a/b | * | * | * | * | i don't recall selling but cannot find: aphex twin - girl/boy, brand x - unorthodox behaviour (phil collins jazz project), bush - razorblade suitcase (the good bush record), billie holiday - lady in satin (she was a drunk, but this is the sweeping orchestral disc. it is what it is.). it is not clear if they are lost or misplaced. |
| bryan adams | waking up the neighbours | 1991 | canada | 1 | bryan adams was a canadian singer-songwriter that stumbled through the 70s before becoming a global superstar in the mid 80s and then fizzled out as rock music changed and left him behind. i was a big fan of reckless as a young child (i was born in 1981) and already had all of the bryan adams tapes when this came out, but i sold them all years ago; i found this for $0.50 in the cbc overflow bin and decided i should have it on my shelf, for nostalgic value. i think i still have the copy of reckless on cassette that i bought used with allowance money when i was about seven and if i found it or any of the other 80s releases on cd for $0.50 i would also grab it but i'm not interested in bryan adams releases after 1991. |
| bruce cockburn | stealing fire | 1984 | canada | 2 | bruce cockburn emerged as a blues guitarist in a hendrix type role in the late 60s before pulling out of the rock scene and releasing a series of christian records in the 70s. ymmv with these, but i am not a christian and don't listen to christian music. he re-engaged with secular culture in the early 80s as a 60s activist anachronism in the anti-reagan era and made a name for himself on the fringe of the post-punk scene as a talented jazz guitarist writing poppy electronic music with hardcore punk themes. i have a certain level of respect for bruce cockburn, but this is really the only record of his that i'm interested in, and it may be his best-selling. this was initially my dad's cd, but it's mine now. |

| brian eno & jah wobble | spinner | 1995 | uk+ire | 2 | brian eno started off in a band called roxy music before releasing a handful of solo records in the mid 70s that were geared towards young people and presented him as a kind of messianic figure. i am too young to have any memory of it, but my understanding is that the brian eno fan club was a kind of tongue-in-cheek joke cult and that it is this messianic way in which he presented himself that formed the basis of his cult following in the 80s and beyond. eno then shifted into production work and became known for his role in incorporating synthesizers into rock music in a specific way, as can be heard on records by david bowie, talking heads and u2, to name only his most well known production work. at the same time, he dabbled in (and unfairly took credit for) developing a type of ambient music that was intended to exist as background sounds embedded into landscapes. there's a writeup a little down the page on arvo part, who eno entirely stole the concept from. nonetheless, eno remains one of the most important producers of the modern era for his integration of ambient production techniques into commercial rock music (where the streets have no name is maybe the biggest, best, most commercially successful example). my eno collection has ebbed and flowed over the years, with much of it initially existing on vinyl (including all of the early material), or as cd-rs that were given to me as gifts (i had both cd-rs and vinyl versions of the eno/fripp material, for example, and actually still have the cd-rs, but they are not listed here). these are all of the store bought physical cds i have, and it's a small sample, but it's also sort of the perfect abridgement, as it dips into each of the various phases. i will eventually fill this out, but because i've already heard all of the eno material, i tend to only pick it up in discount bins. my copy of music for airports is apparently missing, or maybe i sold it. |

| bowery electric | beat | 1996 | us | 2 | bowery electric were an obscure band that got some buzzy press as a post-rock artist in the early 90s and subsequently disappeared without really releasing anything of substance. they've been remembered as one of the initial bands to get labeled as post-rock, rather than for their music. i picked this up in the early 00s in a used bin because it was released on kranky and have kept it for that reason. i don't have any particular plans to buy more bowery electric, but i might if i see it. |
| bjork | medulla | 2004 | iceland | 2 | bjork was initially an icelandic child prodigy that ran away to new york to start a punk band before emerging as an it girl at the fringe of the uk techno scene and using the buzz it created as a launching pad for a string of interesting abstract pop records as a solo artist. i've been accused of giving her more credit than she deserves, but my perception is that she's in full artistic control and that suggestions otherwise are off-base; at the least, she has impeccable taste in picking what she wants to pair to her vocal compositions. i did sell a couple of bjork records i bought in the 90s because i decided they'd be easy to find and have reclaimed some but not all of them; i should repurchase a copy of homogenic at the least. as for her post-2005 work, it did hit a low point with volta, but it hit a high point with vulnicra. the discography gets a little spotty from 2005-2015, but i'll probably just fill this in in totality and smooth over the edges in the review process. |

| billy corgan | the future embrace | 2005 | us | 4 | billy corgan emerged in the late 80s as the virtuoso guitarist and lead singer of the psychedelic rock band the smashing pumpkins and systematically became a dominant cultural force in american music before sabotaging his own career by insisting on writing subpar 80s synth pop about ten years before it came back into fashion and on being an asshole with bad politics in public. i believe that this 2005 release, which i purchased close to it's release date, was written primarily by bon harris of nitzer ebb and it is largely forgettable and disappointing. i was a huge smashing pumpkins fan in junior high school and high school (1993-2000) and have a nearly complete discography of the original lineup, from 1989-2001. it may take more than a day to listen to all of the smashing pumpkins cds i have, in order. i do not have any of the smashing pumpkins releases after 2001 at all, but i should probably pick up the 2007 and 2012 releases. i don't have any interest in billy corgan's work after about 2015 or so, but i'll probably buy it anyways, just to slam it. he still has time to refind himself, but it would require reacquianting himself with his guitar, and he doesn't seem to want to do that. |
| billy cobham | spectrum | 1973 | panama | 0 | billy cobham is a drummer that was discovered by miles davis before he and john mclaughlin left davis' band to go off and start the mahavishnu orchestra. the earliest cobham-mclaughlin pieces are on a string of davis records. this classic record has the distinction of featuring tommy bolin of zephyr (and ritchie blackmore's initial replacement in deep purple) on guitar and a young jan hammer on keyboards. i am a john mclaughlin fan and picked this up used in the early 00s on that basis but do not have much else with cobham; as with bruford, i would consider anything that features cobham on it to be worth grabbing, if found in the right bin. however, the other cobham solo discs are drum-oriented and do not feature prominent guitarists in central roles. |
| bill bruford | one of a kind | 1979 | uk+ire | 1 | bill bruford was an insanely talented drummer and composer that initially emerged in the late 60s as the drummer for the band yes, but was at some point stolen by robert fripp and ended up as the most identifiable drummer in king crimson, instead. these two bruford/holdsworth (there's a write-up for holdsworth down the page) collaborations happened during a down period for king crimson, when fripp was working on the berlin trilogy with brian eno and david bowie. the 1977 release also features robert fripp's future wife on vocals. these records were initially released on brian eno's record label (eg records) and one of the discs i have (both inherited from my father, who was a fake drummer and very specifically a bill bruford fan) is an eg release, while the other is a re-release printed by bill bruford himself. now, i'm no drummer, i'm a guitarist and my cd collection is consequently guitar-centric rather than drum-centric, but it has a fair amount of bruford in it; there's a reason that bill bruford has the distinction of having worked with almost every substantive guitarist of the 70s and 80s and it's that he was the best drummer out there for years. for me, the draw to these records is that they feature alan holdsworth essentially as a temporary replacement for robert fripp. they are (along with the uk record) the best introduction to alan holdsworth. there is a third bruford record, but it doesn't have holdsworth on it. i don't have any of the earthworks releases, which are more drum-focused, but i have most of his work with king crimson and yes. i actually have a relatively complete bruford discography, minus the earthworks material, which i would pull out of the right bin, but which i'm not actively seeking. indeed, anything that has bill bruford listed as a session musician or contributer is probably worth grabbing, if found in the right bin. |

| belle and sebastian | dog on wheels | 1997 | uk+ire | 9 | belle and sebastian are an indie rock band that first arose out of the fringes and remnants of the shoegaze/post-rock movement in the uk in the late 90s and have developed in parallel in a way that i find to be frustrating. i want to hear belle and sebastian write more involved and elaborate compositions, but they are frequently more interested in writing acoustic lo-fi type material, and that is a sound i've never had much interest in, as i find the idea of listening to cutesy little boys crooning on sparkly guitars to be trite and cliched and boring. there's a talented singer-songwriter in this band that has been stunted by the expectation of conformity within the indie rock scene, which he's fallen in line with rather than railed against. i would have been exposed to belle and sebastien via communicating with radiohead fans in the late 90s and believe i purchased this ep in a used bin in downtown ottawa. i've kept this out of print ep around because it is legitimately an interesting teaser, but my further poking around in their discography didn't generate much further interest in them from me and i've long since given up on them. however, i dated a girl in the early 00s that pulled this ep off my shelf and loved it so much that she bought a bunch of their better known records and played them in the house and that is how i became more familiarized with their discography. i don't currently expect to purchase further belle and sebastien cds, but a careful survey and evaluation of their discography is overdue and it is foreseeable that i might pull a thing or two out of it. |
| barry adamson | as above, so below | 1998 | uk+ire | 2 | barry adamson emerged out of uk post-punk scene as the bassist for alternate reality genesis cover band magazine and then, under the heavy influence of blixa bargeld, nick cave and jim thirlwell (as a member of the bad seeds), morphed into a jazz/techno artist with a heavily idosyncratic sound. this particular record tells a story and is somewhat of a concept record and is considered a high point. while i have never owned a lot of barry adamson cds, and am not familiar with most of his discography, i would nonetheless expect to fill this in over time. finding records by bands like magazine at this late a date in small cities in canada is hopeless, i'll have to order it. this disc was purchased second hand in ottawa c. 1999ish. it has an imported to montreal sticker on it, indicating somebody ordered it from the uk. |
| barenaked ladies | gordon | 1991 | canada | 1 | the barenaked ladies eventually had a global hit single that was kind of a reggae song, and they are known for that in the united states, but that was on something like their fifth record and their earlier records were highly successful in canada. they were a household name in canada from 1992 on. they emerged on a street corner in toronto and conquered the country during the alternative rock moment and alternative rock is broadly what they were; i don't want to call this a pop record exactly, and they were appealing to kids but weren't exactly children's performers and were extremely popular amongst teenagers in canada in the early 90s. this was and remains one of my biggest influences, and i'm not remotely embarassed to say it, it's actually an incredibly diverse and interesting album. i at one point had copies of their next couple of records, but my tastes changed around 1993 and i was no longer interested in the kind of music they made. it's likely that gordon will remain stranded in this list. however, the (very talented) rhythm section has released some solo jazz records, and i may find myself interested in exploring that at some point. |

| autechre | untilted | 2005 | uk+ire | 2 | autechre emerged from the uk underground as a duo that was less interested in being smart, exactly, and more interested in not being dumb and what makes their records better than almost everything in the techno universe is that they've succeded for decades in avoiding being dumb. while generally seen as one of the key and seminal bands in the history of techno, they in truth have few imitators and their use of tools like max and c++ gives them more in common with modern composers than with modern techno artists. they stand alone as unique sound artists. i did decide to sell the bass cadet single because it was tvt, and somebody stole my copy of confield, but autechre is the second artist in this list that i would label a favourite band and as something i've followed closely since c. 1995; those two omissions and some small eps not withstanding, this is a very nearly complete discography from 1993-2005 that was collected slowly over that time frame and temporarily ends when i generally stopped buying cds altogether. i am familiar with everything autechre has done since 2005 and would consider oversteps and sign/plus as high points. i will eventually fill this in. |

| arnold schoenberg | pelleas et melisande | 1905 | austria | 5 | arnold schoenberg was an austrian composer that is best known for completely ruining music. it's not the break from tonality by introducing the tone row that is awful about schoenberg (i slam mozart, i slam schoenberg, what do i want?) but the fact that he just wasn't a talented composer, and his teachers told him that. his melodies suck, his harmonies are shit, etc. instead, schoenberg repeatedly resorts to creating high drama noise escapades via the overuse of extreme tension, making his music the perfect soundtrack to an old man dying of a heart attack (or perhaps a mime being filmed interpreting the event). i bought this cd for cheap to evaluate it, and i've kept it around because it has an absurdist niche as halloween music, or the kind of thing you can upset your asshole neighbours with. i mean, sure, there's something to be said about completely terrible music. these symphonies are highly valued in some circles, but the truth is that they're vapid shock rock with little real musical value (making schoenberg somewhat akin to the alice cooper or marilyn manson of his era) and that schoenberg was really an overrated hack. yet, i would and probably will buy more schoenberg in order to review it and ultimately to slam it. |

| aphex twin | richard d. james album | 1996 | uk+ire | 0 | richard d. james (aka the aphex twin amongst other things) emerged out of the uk party scene in the late 80s as a very young electronic sound artist (often focusing on analog synth work) and has become one of the most important progenitors of an idiosyncratic form of british/welsh techno. my aphex twin collection took a hit in the early 00s when i sold most of it because it was all reprise imports i bought cheap second hand for evaluation purposes; i expected to replace them with warp imports but i never got around to it. this particular album is considered a high point. i'm overdue to fill this in and that will happen when i get to doing it. |
| antonio carlos jobim | stone flower | 1970 | brazil | 0 | antonio carlos jobim was a mega superstar in brazil who was known for developing and popularuzing the subgenre of jazz known as bossa nova. this cd is considered a high point in his discography. i picked this up in a discount bin in the late 90s and it's become one of my favourite records over the years. if i found more jobim records in the right bin i would grab them, but his popularity in brazil and latin america more generally has not transferred to canada, where he is an obscure mid-20th century composer. |
| wolfgang amadeus mozart | piano quartet no. 1 in g minor | 1785 | austria | 5 | mozart was a child prodigy whose commercial breakthrough came with the brilliant masterpiece "twinkle twinkle little star" (< /sarcasm>) and who then spent his years delighting bourgeois acadamics and church leaders alike by approaching music composition like he was solving an engineering problem by perfectly applying the music theory rules in the textbooks without interjecting any level of heretical creative or independent thought. i find mozart to be boring. this piece is on the dvorak disc. |
| antonin dvorak | piano quintet in A major | 1888 | czechia | 3 | dvorak was a kind of a slavic ethnomusicologist working in eastern europe c. 1900. there were two dvorak discs in the cbc overflow bin for $1/each and i purchased both of them for evaluation purposes to see if i would like it or not. i was mildly familiar with dvorak, but not with these pieces. i was not overly impressed by either. if the dances have some value as folk music, that value is lost on their appropriation by the bourgeois academic. |

| angels of light | sing other people | 2005 | us | 3 | this is the acoustic alter-ego of michael gira, who otherwise releases under the name swans with a collection of new york no wave musicians. the intial angels material was strong, but these two records catch gira in somewhat of a rut and i'd avoid them. back in the late 90s and early 00s, gira always charged so much for his records (which you had to mail order) that he priced me out, and i just downloaded them instead. i'm long overdue to buy them, but is he still charging $40/disc? the reason i have these two cds is that i bought them at angels of lights concerts in montreal in 2003 and 2005 and they're actually both signed by gira for that reason. |

| animal collective | hollinndagain | 2006 | us | 3 | animal collective was somewhat of a loser geek boy phenomenon in the early 00s and something i initially strenuously avoided because my first impression of it was that i thought that it was dumb. however, as a music critic and cd collector, i eventually had little choice but to carefully survey their discography, because it reached a level of popularity where they could no longer be ignored. after listening to their cds up to about 2007ish very carefully, my analysis of most of their music didn't improve, but this disc pulled itself out of the pile as a turning point that is different and better. while sorting through this list will expose an interest in experimental music, the reality is that i'm far more interested in technical music and need a real level of musicianship to root the sound in. i need my noise artists to be actual musicians, too. there's a difference between a controlled experiment and shitting on a canvas, and animal collective has simply never passed the bullshit test. these kids weren't actually musicians, and it was obvious. i grasp that that might actually be appealing to some, but i've consistently labeled early animal collective as what it actually is, which is pretentious children that don't know what they're doing aimlessly fucking around with equipment that they don't understand and trying to mass manufacture it as outsider art. worse, at a certain point they turned into a generic pop band, probably because the record label started ordering producers to write the music for them because the suits realized they were talentless hacks and yet wanted to protect their investment, having already fallen for the hype. however, there was a brief moment around feels where they had developed enough experience to just begin to start to know what they were doing a little but hadn't sold out yet and in that brief moment they accidentally stumbled on to something that is both substantive and interesting. feels is a pop record, but it's unlike any other pop record ever made (which is not true for their generic later releases, which sound like radiohead or coldplay or u2). i just don't hear much worth taking note of before feels, and what is after feels is just bad pop music, but i have to accept feels as a substantive record that opens a path that has yet to be explored by others. i bought these cds together used at cd warehouse in ottawa c. 2006 for a couple of dollars, total. i don't have any particular intention to buy more animal collective, but it's the kind of thing that i'd pull out of the $2 bin if i found it in there just to rip it apart.
note: i just learned that a member of the mope-rock band mum was the primary songwriter on this record, and that is likely what sets it apart. i haven't listened to much mum as i've found it to be too mopey, but i would certainly list it as more compositionally complex than animal collective. she seems to have provided the vital injection of musicality and musical knowhow that they lack on all records before and after. |

| allan holdsworth | atavachron | 1986 | uk+ire | 2 | allan holdsworth initially emerged out of the canterbury prog scene via a series of relatively short stints in bands like soft machine and gong and gained a reputation as being both a highly technical and highly expressive guitarist, which is rare. he was known in some circles as a hendrix substitute type (because everybody wanted to find the soul of jimi hendrix on the curb somewhere), but has also been cited by a number of highly prominent guitarists as being next level, technically. he eventually released his most substantive recordings with a drummer named bill bruford, who had previously worked with both yes and king crimson (and i have these bruford/holdsworth records and actually value them highly). this particular cd was given to me by my father because he thought it was too weird for him, which is how i came into posession of a number of left-field prog and fusion classics, as he tended to like his prog to be straight forward and driving (he was not a drummer, but he like to pretend he was one, so his record collection was heavy on bruford and collins) and would periodically take chances on these discs via name recognition and just not like them. this record features a collection of holdsworth's experiments with a device called a synthaxe, which sounds half like a guitar and half like a synth and is in fact fairly weird. unlike my dead father, i like weird, but this record is also a little cheesy. holdsworth can be esoteric, overbearing and tedious to those unfamiiar with him; he's like the james joyce of guitar players, so you have to want to sit down with it and tease it through, but any serious guitarist will speak of his work highly, even if it's not convincingly reflected in this particular record. the bruford discs that are coming up are a better starting point for holdsworth, who recently died. i would like to find more holdsworth, which has always been obscure. |

| alice in chains | nothing safe | 1999 | us | 1 | i was and still am a grunge fan and consider it to be a subgenre of punk rock. alice in chains were of course one of the most prominent grunge bands from seattle, which was now long enough ago that some people might not know much about it. i did have facelift on cd at one point, but i'm not much of a fan of it and sold it. i have actually never purchased dirt on cd, but i still have my cassette from the early-mid 90s. i've commented elsewhere that alice in chains are more substantive musically than they are often given credit for due to the accidental microtonality in the vocals (in fact, layne staley was tone deaf, and consistently just missed the notes, but his voice was so powerful that it often sounds like intentional harmonization. this is the classic alice in chains sound, and it's just a consequence of poor ear training, but it often sounds incredible.). however, of the four major seattle grunge bands, alice in chains also holds up the least well, all of these years later. they were opportunistic metalheads, and that's what's happened with alice in chains post-staley, they became an awful metal band. it's a shame, as there was a mad season record released in the mid 90s that was extremely enjoyable and jerry cantrell would likely make more interesting music as a solo artist. as a young guitarist, i bought the last two records new in local corporate music stores within a week of their release in the 90s (which is also where i bought my cassette of dirt c. 1994-1995ish) and specifically recall buying jar of flies at a garage sale for something like $2.00 c. 1995/1996. i should have a copy of dirt on cd, and i'd rebuy facelift if i saw it cheap. |

| al dimeola | heart of the immigrants | 1993 | us | 2 | di meola is an academically trained composer that first appeared as chick corea's virtuoso new kid guitarist and then released a string of albums under his own name starting in the mid 1970s. i don't have the classic trio of di meola albums on cd, but i did used to have them on vinyl. i sold all of my vinyl several years ago. i am not a vinyl enthusiast. i have flacs. i'm familiar with almost all of it and filling in physical copies of the di meola discography has been something i've been meaning to get around to and something i'll do when i get back to the review project. these particular cds were both purchased second hand in discount bins. due to his unique ability to combine intense technicality with legitimate musicianship, di meola was probably the most important guitarist of the second half of the 20th century, but neither of these are the best example of that. scenario, however, features both phil collins and bill bruford on drums and jan hammer on synthesizers and is an underrated album, as a piece of music. |

the result of what's going on with my neighbours is that i'm forcing myself to move my writing completely offline. i don't know what their issue is, but they have some desperate need to control me. so, i'm redesigning my web pages for offline storage and will be slowly converting everything into pdf documents for upload instead of web pages and blogs. the result will be more readable, but it will also mean that it won't update as often. i recently set up my stereo system so that it's a four way speaker system to allow me to listen to music when i'm typing and i'm going to be taking advantage of that fact as i recover from this attempt at dominance. i will be documenting the steps that i take in a new technical blog in the form of a series of walk throughs in pdf format.
i am still planning on using the pi as a front-end for my music review archive, but what i'll be doing over the next several weeks is just listening to everything as i put it back on the shelf. this has been life for me over the last several years, constant distractions forcing me to constantly start and restart everything i' doing and that prevent me from getting any work done. this sucks, but it's reality.

=============
note: when i first moved to windsor, i bought a stack of cds for $0.50/cd that belonged to the local cbc station and the station was moving out of their library. they were mostly shelf items that a collector "ought" to have and consequently sat in a box for the next sever`al years. i am finally sorting through those cds. this is the reason i'm currently listening to old swing and jazz records, as well as some classical music, starting with afro-celt and moving forwards alphabetically.
also note that i reject the youtube or spotify streaming model (i don't use spotify. at all. i won't.) as a source of revenue and instead accept the bandcamp model, which designates streaming as a means of advertising. to youtube, the customers are the advertising companies that are placing ads on what they call "content". artists don't get a substantive cut in this model because they are not producing a desirable product; the artist merely produces "content", to which an ad may be appended, and the transaction of value occurs between the customer [the advertising company] and their audience [the person watching the youtube video]. the item being sold becomes the item in the ad. to maintain this model, youtube needs to convince you that buying music is obsolete and that the relationship between artist and listener is no longer financial. in the bandcamp model, however, the relationship between artist and listener is maintained and the "content" is actually the product, which is being advertised via the stream. in this model, youtube admittedly becomes a chump by providing the free lunch of free server space, but that's their fault for creating a foolish model, and it's not my problem.
as such, i feel no responsibility to watch an ad in order to send paltry amounts of ad revenue to the artists that created the music, and reject the premise as disingenuous; the music i listen to is especially not interested in trying to generate income from youtube or spotify but rather uses those sites as a means of advertising to send listeners to their bandcamp sites, or their own pages, where listeners can become customers and purchase the actual music. i will continue to support the artists i like by buying tickets to concerts and by buying physical cds.
i am not going to be distracted by google's delusions in pretending it has undone the bandcamp model, as it hasn't and as it can't. youtube can be a replacement for the radio and be an improvement over the radio, but spotify can't replace or function as a personal music library and poses no serious threat to the independent music market. spotify should actually strongly consider opening itself up to a general web interface instead of requiring an app for download, as it really offers no benefits over youtube, which is easier to access and use and remains free. as a radio replacement, spotify cannot compete with youtube. i just went to spotify and searched for 'cardiacs' and it took me to the cardigans. useless. in order for spotify or youtube to be a serious threat to the independent music market, they would need to offer the things that consumers of independent music actually want, namely access to independent music, high quality audio streams and physical packages that are both visually appealing and allow the consumer to feel as though they've purchased something worth collecting. the basic truth is that i'm a cd collector; it's a commodity fetish, and there's no way for streaming audio to compete with this. i'm currently sorting through the cst catalog and i may buy things i'd never listen to just so i can have them, as cst releases. digital audio offers no analog to this. as a basic pre-requisite, it would need to begin by matching or bettering the sound quality, which it will not do because of the amount of server space required. the bandcamp model is capable of offering me what i want, as a consumer; the youtube model is not.
i am checking on wikipedia right now and it claims that amazon, apple and tidal are the serious options for services that offer lossless audio and might seriously compete with bandcamp, not youtube or spotify. i would argue the smart money is on amazon being the one that wins, as amazon is the service offering consumers what they actualy want, but tidal looks most interesting to me. i permanently boycott everything apple out of spite due to their shitty advertising and won't consider their streaming audio service. i recently bought a phone like android device without a sim card for $100 for use with this pi as a streaming peripheral and it is likely that tidal is the option i will go with, but i need to do more research, first. neither tidal nor amazon use the yotube model, either, they are subscription services that want to sell you access to a library of high quality audio as high quality audio, not trick you into buying a music subscription in order to in turn sell you as a listener to an advertising company, who is the real customer. actual access to a real limitless virtual library of lossless audio is something else that is different than an update to the radio (which was also a medium to place ads), and it may have it's use value in my life, but it is still an adjunct to purchasing the physical item and adding it to the collection and can still never replace it.

fuchsia is the color code for the ones i have. i'll order the first
i've decided that i'm going to be starting the music web project back up with a silver mt zion, which means filling these holes in, first.

my upstairs neighbours are trying to control my pi remotely and i do not want to get into a hacking war with them over it. i decided to format/reinstall at the end of november and haven't yet set it back up. instead, i'm using it as a camera to try to catch them breaking in. they have a camera set up in the basement filming me, so they know i have a camera set up and are consequently avoiding it. these are extremely aggressive stalkers that want to control my internet persona(s) and ultimately seem to think i'm a famous blogger, vlogger and musician; they think i'm rich and want to steal the source of my wealth. they're drug addicts and appear to be tied to organized crime. in fact, i don't sell anything at all and i'm dirt poor and live on welfare; my "source of wealth" is government disability. for such stupid people, they've been frustratingly difficult to catch and prosecute.
it could be a while before this is functional again, and i'm just sad and frustrated by it.

am i going to save money on shipping if i buy in bulk? that was the point. if not, maybe i should just do a by-year monthly order until i catch up. |
