The Duran Duran Tribute album (1997)

JackiesFridge, 10 months ago

Distinguishing Marks by Fingerprintz. I’ve been listening to that album since 1985 and it never got old.

…even though apparently I did

Barrelephants, 10 months ago

I’d have to go with the album that’s verbal instructions for how to build a two way radio out of a coconut and seaweed.

I’ll go with something current. ‘The Loveliest Time’ by Carly Rae Jepsen. People around me seem to like this album a lot…

For the rest, I’ll just bang some coconuts against each other to create sound. This way I’ll become the best tribute band for various classic works on the island. Everyone’s welcome!

Such a good album.

Neko Case, Middle Cyclone.

ren, 10 months ago

oh dang! Great album. It’s also a sonically diverse album. Great call!

BonesOfTheMoon, 10 months ago

Her voice! Knocks me out every time.

ren, 10 months ago

No doubt! Running out of Fools destroys me every time.

I think you have an error in your question. My first thought when you said “desert album” album was to take that literally and say Mdou Moctar - Ilana: The Creator.

But I suppose you mean “desert island” album so I’ll say Sigur Rós - Takk…

I also thought about The Avalanches - Since I Left You but I fear that Frontier Psychiatrist will drive me insane.

welp, that’s what I get for posting first thing in the morning DURING coffee and not after…

kvn, 10 months ago

At least you can edit the title! Unlike that other place

ren, 10 months ago

Right???

Counting crows august and everything

ren, 10 months ago

Oh dang! Classic.

serpentofnumbers, 10 months ago

really hard to say, but the first one that jumped to mind is Miles Davis - Filles de Kilimanjaro

ren, 10 months ago

I always appreciated Davis, but never got into his work. Love jazz, but jazz-jazz? Tough one for me.

If you're coming from a rock background you could check out In a Silent Way or A Tribute to Jack Johnson, and if you like those, go to Bitches Brew.
