 | Locus Solus
Buy new: $9.99 Probably more than any other album, this seems to have been designed for the iPod. Zorn, after all, *is* clairvoyant.
|
 | Escalator Over the Hill by Carla Bley and Paul Haines
Buy used from: $24.99 Some have complained that it's just not possible to listen to this album at a sitting. Presto: your Shuffle.
|
 | György Ligeti: Clear or Cloudy
Buy new: $27.99 / Used from: $21.67 Little bits of beauty scattered amongst the little bits of noise.
|
 | I Like It When You Die by A.C.
Buy used from: $5.90 To fill out the noise quotient. Alternately, you might pick up "EVERYONE SHOULD BE KILLED."
|
 | Never No Lament: The Blanton-Webster Band by Duke Ellington
Buy new: $39.98 / Used from: $31.25 More beauty, again in bite-size pieces.
|
 | Anton Webern: Complete Works, Opp. 1-31 by Anton Webern
Buy used from: $49.05 Every once in a while, your Shuffle will get very quiet, and a woman will sing tiny atonal songs in German.
|
 | Live In Japan by John Coltrane
Buy new: $38.97 / Used from: $27.12 And then every once in a while Coltrane will come on, and he'll play for a solid hour.
|
 | The Singles by Sun Ra
Buy new: $29.98 / Used from: $17.67 Perhaps too obvious a choice. However, it IS ideal for this particular use. Hot Skillet Mama, etc.
|
 | Kagel: Exotica . Tactil by Mauricio Kagel
1 track, 49 minutes of honking and shouting. You can leave off "Tactil."
|
 | Love Overdrive: Unpopular by Reagan's Polyp
Buy used from: $0.81 Oh, you KNEW this one would be included. 52 tracks! One for every week of the year.
