here are your choices, and a small reflection for each. also, im still bringing exactly these cd's to work, regardless of what you say. im just curious, because it's a fairly mixed bag.
belle and sebastian - the boy with the arab strap (maligned around here, but worth it for the title track and probably 4 other songs. near the bottom of my cd stacks, which means i havent heard it in a while...)
don cherry - eternal rhythm (sonny sharrock talk last week got me re-interested in this one - also near the bottom of my cd stacks... cant wait, as work is usually a great time for me to absorb longer, outer stuff.)
faust - the faust tapes (cant wait to hear this one again - no track indexing, so a nightmare for short car rides, but as a straight-through listen, probably in my top 10 krautrock albs.)
gene clark - no other (ive been singing "life's greatest fool" to myself all week.)
chrome - half machine lip moves/alien soundtracks (see my thoughts on today's "chrome c/d" thread revival...)
phish - billy breathes (if i were ever to revisit phish, or ever to not disapprove of someone else revisiting phish, itd be on the strength of this actually pretty great album. tuneful, tasteful, cohesive.)
john fahey - (red cross) (just in case i need to chill the fuck out at work tomorrow.)
the frogs - s/t (bottom of cd pile revisitation. "persian cat" totally rules.)
nuggets I - volumes 1 and 3 (its this compilation, maybe youve heard about it, im tired of these blurbs...)
prince - sign o' the times (blah blah blah best ever blah)
landing - the soul of the rainbow and the harmony of light (guitar drone, i can think of about 5 or 6 different instances in which i would listen to this tomorrow at work.)
lemme know.

Hey Pete,
Nuggets
Faust
Chrome
Fahey
Cherry
Yeah, those are good. Also you should totally bring those records to the show. Tomorrow night is going to kick some serious ass.

i only know the b&s and the prince. of those two i'd choose the b&s as i haven't listened to it for a while. it's not their best but in their top 3.
additionally i'd like to listen to the cherry, the nuggets, the fahey and the faust. that's some exciting stuff.

When you said Landing, didn't you mean Growing?
Anyway, take that one, too.
Faust
Frogs
Fahey
