You have one hour to live. Which album do you put on?
« on: September 02, 2011, 01:38:16 AM »
Through some Donnie Darko-esque experience, you find out that you've got approximately an hour left on this Earth. Of course, you walk in to your listening room and you contemplatively stare at your records, CD's, or and other media. Which album do you put on?

For me, it could be no other album than Pet Sounds.

Considering the mood I'd be in after finding out I only have 1 hour to live and can only listen to one album, I thing I would go with Tool AEnima
I am confident that an SL-1200 is capable of outperforming turntables of much higher expense with minor modification.

For me it would be one of the Manneheim Steamroller Fresh Aire LPs.
Maybe the second one.

If I only got a hour to live, it probably ain't going to be spent selecting an album to listen to.   >:D

I realize that's not likely to be anyone's true final actions, that's why this thread assumes that they will be your final actions.

I know you've got a completely sealed 180 gram WHAM! album somewhere that'd come out in that final hour, Scott!  ;D  ;D

Sunny - I just realized I do not have Pet Sounds in vinyl,  so this thread has manufactured a need I did not have earlier today - thanks for nothing, buddy.

BTW - are you using the reel-to-reel machine much?  Tom gave me (as part of the purchase of my first rt-707) a boatload of tapes.  They are great recording media, even if the original recordings have lost their luster.  I will gladly gift you a bunch of those if you want them - I have way too many.  I can drop them off at Tom's or just PM me your mailing address.  I still have to send you the component cable anyway.

That why this thread exists.   So when the day comes you will know which album to grab.

That's an easy one. Aimee Mann-Lost In Space on Mofi SACD.

Honestly Pepe, I haven't even gone through it yet. My assistantship is 20 hours a week, plus the scholarship addendum requires about 15-20 hours of research and work per week. I don't have time to post on here, let alone rip that beast apart. (Yet I find time to post on here anyhow.)

F1, tell me how stupid I am for not owning an SACD player... Is it THAT much of an audible difference?  ;D

Hmmm..I just don't know.  Maybe the soundtrack from Oh Brother Where Art Thou, or perhaps NiN Closer, Marilyn Manson Lest We Forget or Tainted Love (love his version), Vivaldi Four Seasons, Beatles, Rammstein, Kraftwerk...My tastes are way to eclectic to choose.   I love it all except Rap and Country.

I'd miss my computer more I think...we've shared so much together!

Of course spending time with my husband and children would be nice too.
