Mine's bigger than yours:



Six (count em!) CDs!

Seriously, any idea why there's a difference - does my set include non-canonical works, or something?

Cheers

Played twice as slowly, perhaps? If does happen as performers get older!

This year I bought every album (that I didn't already own - and except the hip-hop rap rubbish) on The Onion.com's AV club list of Top albums for 2007. It amounted to about 12 or 14 CDs I think. There aren't many that I haven't grown to like.

Pete Namlook, Bill Laswell and Adrian Sherwood. Certainly in the case of Pete Namlook and Bill Laswell they are so prolific that they produced some duds but chances are if they’ve made a record it will be good. Also I want to add to the collection – 518 out of 850 for Bill Laswell and 106 out of 176 for Pete Namlook so far. I also tend to collect related acts like Buckethead, Jah Wobble, Mick Harris, Gaudi and Tetsu Inoue because of the Laswell and Namlook connections and also they are very likely to be very good.
I tend to buy Albin Julius connected records – Der Blutharsch and The Moon Lay Hidden Beneath A Cloud – but more as a collection – some are great but most are just OK.
I also collect Klaus Schulze, Sunn O))), Aphrodite, Adam F and anything on Pressure Sounds and Hospital records
In the past I used to collect Green Brains and Ohr – but I suppose I lost interest after I’d got most of the good releases. I also collected Ry Cooder and Tangerine Dream until they lost it and started releasing too much crap

Webern and Boulez : the original version has opus 1-31. I think the latest version has some earlier works without opus numbers.

Charles Thompson / Black Francis / Frank Black


never disappoints

More on Boulez complete Webern ....

Hre is a list of the contents of the second set ....

second-complete-webern

My OCD is nourished by John Martyn, Van Morrison and Paul Simon and fed by too many others to name I'm afraid......particularly on vinyl. Age is kicking in because I do discover that you can have too much of some artists, (how many Grateful Dead records do you really need!), and some records are just awful, something I would never have admitted too when I was a teenager!

Anything by this lot

Ah Pink Floyd - does that include Syd?

I buy everything I see by Syd - I've got his solo's on vinyl and CD.

Mary Chapin Carpenter, Kate Rusby and Karine Polwart fall into the buy as they become available category for me. Amon Duul II certainly used to as did Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane in my younger days and, of course, Mr Zappa and the good Captain.

Rotf,
CAN YOU SEE BEHIND THE X Because i cant?

I'm the Urban Spaceman, baby, I've got speed.
I've got everything I need.
I'm the Urban Spaceman, baby, I can fly.
I'm a supersonic guy.

I don't need pleasure. I don't feel pain.
If you were to knock me down, I'd just get up again.
I'm the Urban Spaceman, babe,
And I'm makin' out.
I'm all about.

I wake up every morning with a smile upon my face.
My natural exuberance spills out all over the place.

I'm the Urban Spaceman. I'm intelligent and clean.
Know what I mean...
I'm the Urban Spaceman. As a lover, second to none.
It's a lot of fun.

I never let my friends down. I'm never made a boob.
I'm a glossy magazine. An advert in the tube.
I'm the Urban Spaceman, babe,
But here comes the twist: I don't exist.

Another group I collect everything by.

Hi Munch

You posted http://forums.naim-audio.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/38019385/m/5202928217/p/4 as if were a graphic rather than a link. I just went to the link and found it was a thread about Barrett, Walters, Gilmore et al. Knowing you were a fan of said trio, I deduced it was The Pink Floyd Sound that you had in mind.

Yeah me too ...actually I do have a few (ahem') "unofficial releases" of tour rehearsals (not to mention demo session albums) where they contain a bit of tuning up!

Perhaps the OCD thing is recceding as I get older?

Jono

..Spooky! ..they'd be two of the act's I used to feverishly collect (especially 12" singles)

....And again I don't need to feed (or mebbe's can no longer afford!) my addiction any more as age catches up with me as well!

Mark Kozelek (Red House Painters, Sun Kil Moon) I pre order anything he releases, and have yet to be disappointed.

If Mark Hollis (Talk Talk) ever releases anything, that will be there.

Kraftwerk, Underworld, Redshift, Tool, A Perfect Circle, King Crimson*, Pearl Jam*, all are complete in my collections, many or pre-order these days.

*(I would note studio albums, and many live, but not all 100+ Pearl Jam live albums, same for King Crimson, quite a few live albums, but not every collectors club release)

There used to be many others, but people such as David Sylvian started to disappoint badly. Rush were there once, but no longer. Not sure about Porcupine Tree, I have everything I can get, but 'Nil Recurring' was disappointing, and I don't have much time for 'Blank Planet'.
