    What is your go-to album or albums?

    I'm talking about the shit you listen to when nothing else will do the trick. You've listened to this album 86 times and counting, it's always there to fall back on in your time of musical need.

    My two are:
    Converting Vegetarians II by Infected Mushroom
    The Black Parade by MCR

      Re: What is your go-to album or albums?

      tbh I still haven't heard the black parade, even tho recently it seems like a lot of people have started considering it a classic? maybe not recently but from what I've seen, people are starting to appreciate it more and more.

      celer - discourses of the withered
      autechre - confield
      william basinski - melancholia

      all 10/10s imo. discourses of the withered is celer's best work and one of the best drone albums, period. confield is idm at it's most potent and progressive. and melancholia has some really great memories associated with it.

          alphabetical order:
          36 - Memories in Widescreen
          Alva Noto - Xerrox Vol. 3
          Bark Psychosis - Hex
          Belong - October Language
          Celer - Discourses of the Withered
          Jefre Cantu-Ledesma - Love Is a Stream
          Steve Roach - Darkest Before Dawn
          Totorro - All Glory to John Baltor
          Robert Rich - Somnium
          William Basinski - A Red Score in Tile
          William Basinski - Melancholia
          Yodaka - Betrayal and Reincarnation

          I get alienated really easily, so a lot of the albums listed feel lonely, melancholic, or meditative to some degree. The only album that wouldn't fit the aforementioned three descriptors is Hex, and Hex, to me, is the prettiest album that I've listened to. I usually listen to it in the afternoon when I don't feel too bad.

          I used to listen to a few other albums regularly too (Kashiwa Daisuke's 88 and Program Music I, 2814's Birth of a New Day), but I don't listen to them anywhere as often as I used to these days.

          edit: nice picks choof

                      My go-to changes with the wind these days but I would go with Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works 85-92. It's sort of like a musical ground state for me, like visiting an old comforting friend.

                                              I haven't listened to "an album" since there started being ways to get songs besides buying the cassette or cd

                                                  surely there are albums that warrant full listens for you?

                                                          My two are both "listen to these songs in order or else you're a bastard" albums, so it's basically like a 2 hour song when I listen to them.
