Mine.... Hejira by Joni Mitchell..

My biggest problem is that I don't really listen to "hot" trance- I'm too young to go into clubs where it is played and I don't buy vinyls cause I'm not a DJ..so all the hot new stuff that is always raved about at trance.nu and tranceaddict.com etc etc I have never heard about. It's also probably why I usually make "older" style trance- cause that's what all my cd's are.

New times 'The Antidote' Ronny Jordan, probably because I play guitar and he's so damn cool on that thing..
yeah, Hejira and Don Juan's daughter are classics... check out Shadows and Light, live Joni album with Jaco Pastorius, Pat Metheny and Donald Brecker, some unbelievable jamming with Jaco just ripping up the bass like no-one before or since...
Don't seem to make musicians like that any more..

Clay.. Jaco got his head kicked in by a bouncer outside a club and dies from his injuries.. The fucking bounver got off scot free for it!
anyway read Jaco by Bill Milkowski. Jaco's life was harrowing to say the least!

Because it's the most finished cd I know... there's nothing in there that shouldn't be in there... an because after 10 or so years it can still send chills down my spine...
Tricky - Maxinquaye
A very closed 2nd... when I first heard it, it was very different to what I was used to... it still is really... claustrophobic in a warm way.
Both are real masterpieces... untill recently I wasn't even able to play them in the car because I just couldn't concentrate on traffic anymore.
If you don't know them I'd suggest you listen to them... but then that's what probably everyone thinks about that favorite cd's...

Of course, its also an artifact of a time period that will never happen again in my personal history or rock & roll's so I can't discount that influence. Murmur came along at a time when independent music and college radio mattered most, was still under the radar, still had an innocence about it and had yet to become self aware. Anyone who listened to college radio from around 1978 to 1986 may know what I mean. Murmur almost seems like a sort of place marker for that era.
The Cocteau Twins' "Blue Bell Knoll" would most likely be next. Nanci Griffith's "One Fair Summer Evening" might follow but then again so might Future Bible Heroes' "Memories of Love". I would be remiss if I didn't consider David Bowie's "Hereos" but Its probably more of a "creatively influential fav" sort of thing than personal fav if you know what I mean. "Rocket to Russia" and "My Brain Hurts" couldn't be left off any sort of list but of course this isn't a list.
If it was...

I still listen to The LA's (only) album - check Lee Mavers out - what a fn guy
Primal Scream - Screamadelica and Give Out But Don't Give Up
Lajko Felix (es Zenkara) - second album (brown card container) is incredible fiddle music - I spent the day listening and it plays live
Stone roses first album (though the singles were better)
Jonny Cash - Live @ Fulsom Prison + Gram Parsons & Emmylou Harris
Grievous Angel
Somehow I will say The Colourblind James Experience - "A different Bob" is a really funny tune and the albums all contain chestnuts

1992 - The Prodigy Experience - what a rush! still in 2003 (ok in these days some parts feels a bit annoying, but what the heck!). It must have been a giant impact for this type of music. And for me it was the start.
Holy shit, the opening 4-5 tunes of the album is nonstop energy of pure mental-speed-terror-madness! I don't even know if any other album can beat this take off, those breakbeats never seem to rest! It's smashing right up ya face!
Even the engineering is good for being old rave tracks - just listen how the bass sits well in Jericho (and there's loads of bass). It makes me wanna
![](images/cry.gif)
![](smiley.gif)
AYE! The whole album is a rush of creativity, details, unbelievable blending textures and nonstop action. It's like a.. really good action-movie (with only one love scene, "Weather Experience", and when the 303 comes in one of the lovers becomes a murderous alien and mashes everything up ;).
No one does this anymore - it earns a special award.
Everything is sequenced on a frikkin W-30 hardware sequencer, midi DAISY CHAINED with loads of equipment (time sync problems? not at all). And just about everything sits perfect though it's insane ;) (i can't imagine anything else in this special type of hardcore music that sounds better).
And Liam was a skinny young boy when he did this stuff.

Cont Fabriclive.
If I had to choose ONE record it'd have to be DJ Shadow's "Endtroducing...",
simply because it kind-of kicked me a far way along the way to electronic music
happiness, and it's been with me in almost every country I've been to, every
climate I've been in, and there's always been something on it that felt right.
And when I saw him live it pretty much all clicked.
Of course, if I had to pick more than one, I'll have to pick about twenty, so I may
be some time...
