The ILM Fan-made BEST OF/ANTHOLOGY Compilation project -- POST Tracklists, Cover Art, Liner notes, editorials, spotify links and/or otherwise LEGALLY obtained streaming album lists HERE!

In contrast to my Al Green comp, my Kinks kollektion (that will be the only one, I promise)is very much a sort of updating of the major canonical compilation. I've followed John Mendelssohn's lead in omitting the huge singles aside from the undeniable Lola. The discs are very broadly divided between love songs (disc 1) and songs of social observation (disc 2), though there are songs that could fit in either or neither category on both discs. Again, the sequencing is dictated largely by what sounds good to my ear.

oh shoot, how do i cut and paste a jpeg from my computer into a post (I've only linked to images on websites before)...I've got a great cover to go with the above!

use www.tinypic.com

http://i52.tinypic.com/121g56v.jpg

I hope it's legible...it's a David Salle painting from 1985 called "Fooling with Your Hair". My comp title comes from the song "Manifesto" which is itself the title of a Decadent French novel about a thrill-seeking aesthete. Sorry my list is poorly formatted, and I don't think we have spotify in the US yet. Enjoy!

It should have all been so different. In '93 DJ Subroc, producer for KMD gets hit by a car and dies. Elektra drop KMD and refuse to release one of the greatest hip-hop albums of the nineties while Zev Lov X - Subroc's brother - is in mourning because of the very controversial cover. Zev disappears, rumours circulate of him getting a drinking problem and becoming homeless. God knows what happened to the other MC in the group, Onyx the Birthstone Kid.

But Bobbito, the blessed Bobbito, noticed his absence. He tracked him down, hearing of someone performing with ladies tights over his head at open mics to cover the wounds the record industry had given him, or so he says. He gave him a place to crash, supposedly, and free creative control, as long as he got focussed again, on his small imprint Fondle 'Em. And then bam! Three singles, out of nowhere, enough money for some booze and a Russell Crowe replica Gladiator mask and Daniel Dumile is back with a vengeance. Making his own beats with samples recorded off the radio, or so the legend says, only half remembering what Subroc taught him lending itself to some very strange sounds unlike anything else out there. Rhymes in the third person because of a lost identity leading to alter egos out the wazoo. Confusion rains supreme, a supervillain wouldn't have it any other way.

After a prolific couple of years releasing countless albums in numerous personas with different collaboraters, DOOM was finally recognised as one of the best. I even read an article in HHC (r.i.p.) where Kanye spends the whole time waxing lyrical about how he wished he had the guy's talent. Black Bastards finally got a release. Madvillainy and Fishscale was a huge critical success and he was even sponsered by a tv station for an album. He defeated the system that once tore him apart. So it's unsurprising that he has gone back into the shadows, waiting for a cause to take up once again - only releasing Born Like This in the past couple years. It's a terrific record, they all are bar Viktor Vaughn II, but it is obvious the supervillain needs a hero to destroy once again.

dlp9001, your Magic Dirt mix is tight. We like different things about the band clearly, but I'm down with it anyway.

PG that looks amazing! I'm def going to spend this weekend trying to track down each individual track to make my own no illmatic for my ipod.

Thanks, man! I'm about to do the same with this here Doom set, which also looks incredible. I'm familiar with a lot of this stuff, but very excited to dig into/dig back into all of it in a new context.

You should be able to find the Nas tracks relatively easily, but let me know if you need help with any of them.

xpost to Johnny: if you can, post yours either here or to a MD thread. I'm curious!

There's not a dedicated Magic Dirt thread other than the Dean R.I.P. thread. I'll do it here if that's okay with Viceroy. Since I never ended up making a mix for this project, I'll be ghosting.

i would add summer high (best MD song imo) and super tear :)

Anyone else want the redd kross or screaming trees link? webmail me (inc your email so I can reply)

someone sent a blank webmail, please resend with your email so i can reply

Off topic, but I love David Salle--know next to nothing about Roxy Music though!

Pete, he is indeed a great artist and a very nice guy--scary smart...check out Roxy!

I'll post the Jefferson Airplane tomorrow night and the Shoes over the weekend. Carry on as best you can until then.

Fucking shit I haven't even started on my Cure and Prince tracklists (though I have a bunch of jumbled ideas in my head, so won't take toooo long). And that MF Doom tracklist looks incredible and fantastic.

love the Yo La Tengo list!

Although they're chronologically ordered, I've sequenced the tracks into some semblance of a logical flow; difficult for such an eclectic artist, but I thought it would be interesting to even out the track-to-track stylistic bumps and jolts that characterise most of his albums.

I <3 MAGMA

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Stormvogel/PeuterMagma.jpg

disc 1
1. Mekanïk Destruktïw Kommandöh [Mekanïk Kommandöh; 1972] — 38:46
2. Hhaï [Live/Hhaï; 1975] - 9:20
3. Köhntark (Part One) [Live/Hhai; 1975] — 15:45
4. Köhntark (Part Two) [Live/Hhai; 1975] — 16:14

disc 2
1. De Futura [Üdü Wüdü; 1976] — 18:00
2. Theusz Hamtaahk [Retrospektiw I-II; 1981] — 36:05
3. Offering - Offering, pt. 1/Earth [Offering I-II; 1986] - 18:26
4. Offering - Cosmos [A Fïïèh; 1993] - 5:20

Notes: The version of MDK here is from the 1972 Mekanik Kommandoh LP, which is mroe stripped down than the 1973 version (I like it better). Sucked that I couldn't include anything off Wurdah Itah or Attahk (I blame "De Futura", which made it on general popularity, not because I think it's "core" Magma). I also put on three Offering tracks (the first two segue into each other), as they really do carry on the zeuhl story in a new way, and contain some of the prettiest music Vander wrote.

Gone for the epics there I see

(By the way, if that Kevin Ayers selection of mike t-diva doesn't put a smile on your face, you're dead)

Herman, is Redd Kross as flat-out fucking incredible as Kris Kross?

(If not, why bother?)

They were the Russian version of Kriss Kross. In other words, their backwards pants wore them.

how many are checking out the comps?

kerr will i like yr two? what do they sound like?

I dont see why not. I'm surprised you've never heard them tbh. Youtube them first?

the 1st discs are rawer than the 2nd ones as you would expect. Redd Kross moved from punk to bubblegum pop.
screaming trees moved from more psychedelic rock to a slightly harder rocking sound.

Screaming Trees are pretty much golden all the way through, from the psych-rock of the SST years all the way to Dust, their awesome final album.

i wonder if stevie chick will agree with my tracklisting

Mine probably won't get finished until Monday or so, but I can tell you it is shaping up very nicely. Spotify is likely a no-go for most of this stuff, but I will have a look and see how much I can put together. If there's at least some I'll make a playlist out of those and anyone who likes it can go seek out the rest themselves.

Funnily enough, the only one of these that I know enough to judge from the tracklist alone is the Momus one, and it's pretty awesome. Will have a listen to others later.

First of mine (apologies, I lack cover-making skills...):

Ice-Cream-Eating Motherfucker: A Fugazi Anthology

1. Margin Walker (2:30) (Margin Walker EP)
2. Reclamation (3:21) (Steady Diet Of Nothing LP)
3. Public Witness Program (2:04) (In On The Kill Taker LP)
4. Closed Captioned (4:53) (End Hits LP)
5. Bad Mouth (2:36) (Waiting Room EP)
6. Sieve-Fisted Find (3:24) (Repeater LP)
7. Furniture (3:36) (Furniture EP)
8. Full Disclosure (3:53) (The Argument LP)
9. Long Distance Runner (4:16) (Red Medicine LP)
10. Sweet And Low (3:36) (In On The Kill Taker LP)
11. Waiting Room (2:55) (Waiting Room EP)
12. Merchandise (2:59) (Repeater LP)
13. Argument (4:28) (The Argument LP)
14. Break (2:12) (End Hits LP)
15. Recap Modotti (3:51) (End Hits LP)
16. Bed For The Scraping (2:50) (Red Medicine LP)
17. Great Cop (1:52) (In On The Kill Taker LP)
18. Trio's (2:16) (Instrument Soundtrack LP)
19. Repeater (3:01) (Repeater LP)
20. Epic Problem (4:00) (The Argument LP)

I recreated the MBV and Beatles sets... only ones I already had all the songs for already. Also spent most my emusic credits on Momus tracks. He totally unfamiliar to me but I liked what I heard when I sampled a few tracks. But haven't given it proper listen yet. Nas and MF Doom will be next... I'm about halfway there for each of them.

I'm going to put mine up on the web somewhere too. No Illmatic today, and the 2nd Nas disc and Pearl Jam at some point TBD. Web mail me with your email address if you'd like the links.

Disc 1 is all stuff from before he dropped the KGW moniker, which he's since brought back for certain releases. But Final Battle was the first album released under his real name, so Disc 2 starts there. Most songs can be listened to/obtained at http://kgw.me. Though if anyone wants a link to this or the Momus comp, WebMail me and I can whip something up.

18. The Modern Things (4:10) (Post)

The Pearl Jam really is excellent, thanks. The more I hear them the more I think they are/were one of the great bands. Great drumming too, were they known for that?

i don't know the answer to that, but i always thought their early rhythm section [Jeff Ament (b), and Jack Irons (dr)] was the best thing PJ had going, if not one of the best in the biz

Question for Viceroy: If we post a 2 disc comp, can we just post one long list or do we have to break it up into 2 80-minute lists? The reason I ask is that I can't easily fit the songs on 2 CDs in the order I have them (ie, chronological). Do I have to rearrange them or it is ok to just post the whole thing as one list? I probably should have asked in the original thread but I notice everyone's posting CD1 and CD2 separately.

here goes

Simon (I think) got to Super Furry Animals before me (looking forward to seeing his selection), but this guy was my first musical itch and doesn't get much of a mention on radio or ILM, so I'm going to stand up for Elvis. These two disc length compilations are pretty much where I am with him these days, I hope that if anyone else listens to them they find something they know and love as well as something that surprises them.

[If anything just listen to the vocals at 1.40 after the second guitar solo in 'Hound dog' (the studio version - on vol. II): is he out of breath or has he gyrated slightly too far from the microphone when he sings "they said you was high class, well that was just a lie"? I still think it's a breath thing 30 years after first hearing it, but it's still to this day the closest corroboration in my head to seeing something in 3D.

I've never heard a Modest Mouse track before, but I like "Birds VS Worms" and look forward to listening my way through more of nicky lofi's compilation.

Elvis is a brilliant idea. Someone was talking about Jacques Brel and Scott Walker on the nominations thread - elvis is kind of that: long career, fragmented catalogue, no idea where to start. This whole exercise is made for that sort of artist imo.

Speaking of GBV, several years ago I made a part 2 of their 2003 best-of comp (all pre-reunion). The version of “My Valuable Hunting Knife” is an alternate.
