Dude, if you're stranded on an island, there aren't any chicks to impress

Mmm, on this particular day:

(5 collections, not single CD's, as that would surely not be enough. Also,CD's, as I assume one would not want to be forced to adjust tracking and VTA, or screw around with a friggin' record vacuum on a desert island)

Claude Debussy - Orchestral Works; Pierre Boulez - Cleveland & New Philharmonia Orchestras

Stravinsky Conducts Stravinsky - complete recordings, with Columbia Symphony Orchestra

Eric Dolphy - Complete Prestige Recordings

Perez Prado - Mambo Mania; Dilo (Ugh!); Prez; Big Hits; Rockambo (a box set of my own creation)

Les Baxter - The Sacred Idol; & the Exotic Moods collection (though I suppose Arthur Lyman might be more apropriate to a desert island)

1. This Heat- "Deceit", "This Heat" or "Repeat"
2. Eric Dolphy- "Out There"
3. Sunny Murray w/Amiri Baraka, D. Cherry, Ayler... - "Tomorrow is the question"
4. Zeni Geva - "Nai-Ha"
5. Derek Bailey and Dave Holland- "Improvisations for cello and guitar"

first off, capnreverb you might think being the first with the concept of invading the greek islands and fertilize each with exactly one genre-seed (peaches on lesbos right ?) but the turks beat you to it and the RIAA-fleet terrorizing those waters will not help either. Five records, matey; not the tower records of babylon(don) on your canonised shores.

Considering the raft to make it there was made of ukeleles, banjos, washboards, E-filled marangas and a clavia north lead, i'd pick these five:

- Dave Van Ronk and his jug stompers
- Blind Willie Johnson dark was the night
- Minutemen double nickels on the dime
- The Coctails live at lounge ax
- Stina Nordenstam dynamite

Bert Jansch - Jack Orion/Nicola (this is two albums on one CD, honest)
A Guided By Voices CD-R of their best stuff
A Husker Du CD-R of their best stuff
Low - Secret Name (vinyl)
Flying Saucer Attack - Distance - (vinyl) just to make me completely fucking aware of how isolated I am from civilisation. And to remind me that great records can be made on a four track with a totally inept grasp of sound engineering.

If one of the records got damaged in a massive storm, and another one mysteriously fell from the sky to replace it, it would either be Scott 4 by Scott Walker or Balaclava by Pearls Before Swine.
