Your Desert Island Discs
Posted by: Tim Collins on 11 October 2001
I know you go through cycles of listening to different music but there are some discs I always go back to.... This album is one of them.
Therefore, I thought I might try and pinpoint some essentials that I could not be without - some for personal reasons, some just for sheer musical bliss.
1) Velvet Underground - Third album
2) Keith Jarrett - Koln Concert
3) Counting Crows -August and Everything After (Explanatory note: my honeymoon cd! - )
4) Radiohead - The Bends
5) Nick Drake - Bryter Lyter
I know there have been lists on the "top 5 recorded", etc, but try and think of those musical gems which always bring you out in a smile, whatever the weather....

2) JS Bach: Goldberg Variations (Played by Gustav Leonhardt).This is the only version I know well, so it may not remain my favourite indefinitely.
I bought it when it came out and it remains a source of pure joy every single time I listen to it.
Cheese - may all beings be happy
