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!

doesn't really count, but 'penny lane' came up in my winamp shuffle and i was thrown because i have never knowingly downloaded any beatles

haha wrong thread :(

If no one does either the Talk Talk or Joni Mitchell ones soon, so help me god I will.

Here's Genesis. Or 70s Genesis, more like, as I would have needed another CD to include their later and inferior AOR hits.

CD 1:
The Knife
The Musical Box
Return Of The Giant Hogweed
Watcher Of The Skies
Supper's Ready
I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)
Dancing With The Moonlight Knight
Firth Of Fifth

CD 2:
The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway
Counting Out Time
The Carpet Crawlers
Entangled
Mad Man Moon
Ripples
Your Own Special Way
One For The Vine
Afterglow
Inside And Out
Follow You Follow Me
Burning Rope

A pretty good selection Geir, although any Genesis comp without "Cinema Show" on it is no Genesis comp at all.

I could have easily made Disc 3 with all the leftover stuff I gave high rankings. (I will make Disc 3 upon request)

although any Genesis comp without "Cinema Show" on it is no Genesis comp at all.

I couldn't include the entire "Selling England By The Pound" album. :)

Yeah but you missed off the best track on it is my point.

I don't agree. I also consider "The Battle Of Epping Forest" to be a better suite. But they are all brilliant, all four of them. :)

ehhh the songs I uploaded on grooveshark are loading slow (and require page reload). probably because they are mostly 256kb but maybe grooveshark is just having having a slow day. at least I have divshare links

I could post a Spotify link to this, but I believe it would scramble the sequence, wouldn't it?

http://open.spotify.com/user/geirhong/playlist/3WJPwmP04ufL6ISugnox4i

This should work as long as the tracks are sorted by time added.

If no one does either the Talk Talk or Joni Mitchell ones soon, so help me god I will.

Fine, you can do the Talk Talk one. I had a damn good best-of mix going on. It was "Talk Talk Talk Talk" (Streets Various Artists compilation), "Talk Talk" (The Party's Over), "Dum Dum Girl", "Such a Shame", and "It's My Life" (It's My Life), "Why Is It So Hard?" (It's My Mix and Asides, Besides), "Life's What You Make It" (The Colour of Spring), "Happiness Is Easy (12" mix)" (B-Side to "I Don't Believe in You" and Asides, Besides), "Tomorrow Started (live)" (London '86), "I Believe in You" (Spirit of Eden), "After the Flood" and "New Grass" (Laughing Stock) and the Liquid People Vocal remix of "It's My Life." But discovering the Liquid People track inspired me to find other remixes and I couldn't find any, and the "Tomorrow Started" live version inspired me to find other live versions and I couldn't find any of those either, but on the other hand I didn't want to turn it in with "I Believe in You" and "Life's What You Make It" and "New Grass," which everybody on ILM's already heard and praised 1,000 times before, and plus I couldn't make a decent album cover, and I don't have Spotify, so eventually I just gave up. Hopefully you can do better. Best of luck!

That Motorpsycho Anthology is great! Nice choices, Captain Lorax, though why no stuff from their latest two or three albums (some songs from Little Lucid Moments would've fit neatly om the Motorpepics album, like Alchemyst)?

But hey, I really like it.

Thanks Marty. I think the Anthology rocks as well :)
I highly recommend anyone to test drive Motorpsycho

Interesting that you mentioned The Alchemyst. That is my favorite song off of Little Lucid Moments. Judging by reviews most people prefer one of the first two songs. I didn't have space for The Alchemyst

I found myself craving psychedelic stuff a few days ago so I made a third disc just for fun. I think I'll eventually make a 4th disc for completeness sake (and include a couple epics that weren't able to fit on the second disc). However the first two discs are the still going to be the meat of my Anthology.

Disc 3 - MotorPsych (thus continuing the trend of crappy under-thought disc names that aren't entirely accurate)

1. Feel (Timothy's Monster 1994)
2. Watersound (Timothy's Monster 1994)
3. Sancho Says (Black Hole/Blank Canvas 2006)
4. Blindfolded (Phanerothyme 2001)
5. On My Pillow (Timothy's Monster 1994)
6. Pale Day (The Nerve Tattoo EP 1995)
7. Close Your Eyes (Heavy Metal Fruit 2010)
8. Mr. Butterclut Goes To The Fair, Meets The Viscount, And That's Where We Leave Him At The End Of This Episode... (Timothy's Monster Deluxe Edition 2010)
9. Snafu (Serpentine EP 2003)
10. The Slow Phaseout (Phanerothyme 2001)
11. Albuquerque (The Tussler 2003 remaster (I wouldn't have included this if I had known it was a cover))
12. Abendspaziergang (Walkin' With J EP 1999)
13. Sideway Spiral, Pt. 1 (Angels and Daemons at Play 1997)
14. KR-3 (Walkin' With J EP 1999)
15. Tuesday Morning (Demon Box 1993)
16. Timothy in the Magic City (Various We'll sail out far...maybe a little too far... 1997)
17. 30/30 (Let Them Eat Cake 2000)
18. Mad Sun (The Nerve Tattoo EP 1995)
19. The 29th Bulletin (Black Hole/Blank Canvas 2006)

Somehow 'Child of the Future' songs got scrapped but I wouldn't mind subbing Albuquerque for The Ozzylot (Hidden in a Girl). I'll do so on Grooveshark
Divshare, Grooveshark (seems to be streaming better for my 256kb mp3s lately)

My musical friends,

I am going to pull a switcheroo and instead of Pavement, will be giving y'all some primo Glen Campbell action. Stay tuned.

Disc 4 - Motorrock

1. Some Real Mindfuck (3 Songs for Rut Single 1992)
2. Babylon (Demon Box 1993)
3. Plan #1 (Demon Box 1993)
4. Fleshharrower (Mountain EP 1993)
5. Another Ugly Tune (Another Ugly EP 1994)
6. Sterling Says (Manmower EP 1995)
7. Flick of the Wrist (Starmelt EP 1997)
8. Glow (Barracuda EP 1999)
9. Mantrick Muffin Stomp (Trust Us 1998)
10. No Evil (Black Hole/Blank Canvas 2006)
11. Illinois (The Tussler 2003 remaster)
12. The Alchemyst (Little Lucid Moments 2008)
13. W.b.A.T. (Heavy Metal Fruit 2010)
Divshare - also contains 'The Ozzylot' which can be added to Disc 3, Grooveshark

Don't let this thread die! I just heard an old Calexico song and was thinking they're a great candidate for this treatment. Someone help me out!

Just made this for a friend...

27. Warlock (1973)
28. Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da/Wise Man (Medley) (1968)
29. Christmas Day (1968)

That's the version of "Problems" with the horn intro.

More! I've got some bonus discs I made for already existing anthologies (John Cale's "Seducing Down The Door", Richard Thompson's "Watching The Dark") and one for the Eno Vocal box but that's just the tracks they left off his first 4 albums plus his Peel session. Anyone else got something useful?

Short and Sweet: The Best Dionne Warwick Songs Not on 'The Best of Dionne Warwick' Compilations

― john. a resident of chicago., Wednesday, September 8, 2010 5:52 PM (5 months ago)

Was absolutely the thing for a train journey yesterday, thanks!

I'm looking for a good compilation of Deconstruction era Kylie Minogue,

there has to be a good 60 mins of her songs when she was aiming to be a credible artist, and working with the Manics etc.

Stuff like her work with Towa Tei and the like....

when she was aiming to be a credible artist

As opposed to those years she was aiming to be an incredible artist? WTF does this rockist shit even mean?

I mean after the SAW days, when there was a definite push from deconstruction to get her seen as a songwriter and artist.

Definitely the record label positioning of her immediately post SAW.

It gets slagged off, that period, but the whole reason it failed was down to the record company going bust.

Yes, that only happened some years after she'd left, but it does seem that the slide was happening already.

It started fine with "Confide", number 2, but the rest seemed to get underpowered marketing...

Cover art and title:

Want to prove to the world that there's more to Daler than just "Tunak Tunak Tun"!? Okay, I left it on in the end, but seriously, paring this all down to an hour, you get a pretty amazing set. Daler Mehndi takes you to the clouds and back to the safety of your own home. Since his newer stuff is less well known I decided to start with that, then end with some real classic tunes.

1. Bhootiye (2011)
2. Jogi (Tumba version) (2011)
3. Koi Dheere Dheere (2007)
4. Rang de Basanti (2008)
5. Kach Tutt Gayi (2007)
6. Patti Pudina (2001)
7. Boom Boom (2000)
8. Hum Tere Hi Deewane Hain (2000) (gettin into some Daler slowjams now)
9. Yug Beet Gaye (1997)
10. Bolo Ta Ra Ra (1995)
11. Dil Mera Nal Nal Nal (1995)
12. Tunak Tunak Tun (1998)

All of these tracks are great and I stand behind every one. He's definitely done a lot more great material than this but for approximately 60 minutes I couldn't get it any better!

Anyone want to give The Bats catalog a go?

i could... but it would take a lot of thought

Ooh, I'd like to see that - I'm actually not that familiar with the ins and outs of their catalogue, but I like what I know (and obviously love a lot of related bands).

I might do that

why don't we just post this on 77 and have mediafire links?

anyway, bump for more spotify listings plz

Most of the Stereolab is on Spotify now, but.

5. In Two Minds (Art Bears, Hopes and Fears, 1978)

emil.y i kiss you for including this. It's one of my all time favorite recordings by anyone ever.

Too bad Spotify has no ReR stuff.

Can anyone do me one of Mickey "Guitar" Baker, who just passed away and who I am v curious abt?

this thread is great btw

I forgot the title, which was supposed to be Here and There

Revive! Never saw this before. Haven't checked the Spotify lists yet, but so far Moka's Jorge Ben mix is still streaming at Grooveshark http://grooveshark.com/#!/playlist/Jorge+Ben+ILM+Best+Of/36058543

I've no idea why I orginally shunned Taj Mahal from that Jorge Ben comp. It's perhaps one of his most well known songs.

Anyone care to have a go at PJ Harvey? Would love a great career overview.

anyway, bump for more spotify listings plz

love this thread. came at the time spotify wasn't as all pervasive though, so there are probably fewer playlists than track lists. would be great if anyone did create the spotify playlist in the end for their chosen specialist subject.

*off to listen to geir's genesis playlist...

This thread is gold.

I made a Spotify playlist for the Clientle compilation: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1OnPvE7gAxsZHfoDtZRqna?si=qgcHz-1wTsmWaSov-RYM6w

Bumped for any new expertly curated playlists out there?

I am listening to a nice Superchunk / Mac McCaughan playlist on Spotify but I'd love to see something from one of our ILX brethren.

I made this Guided By Voices playlist as an intro for a friend who didn’t know where to start. For no particular actual reason, it’s limited to 80 minutes so’s to fit on a CD-R.

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6LMHSL2c6HyID75Y5To9aY?si=zfZLhqorSB-nfTlqIio5Zg

Big Thief are a band a lot of Ilxors love (for good reason) but their discography is fairly large, so here's a personal favourites playlist I made and spent quite a bit of time compiling and honing:

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/41650wZfn3Mjd0AMcjrWDT?si=05c7103ee51f4ba5

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.
