Is There Just One Single Album That Does It For You, Completely? Just One.
If you somehow got stuck in a situation (lol) and had to spend the rest of your life completely by yourself, all alone, on a desert island ... and, as part of your situation you only got to choose one album to spend the entire rest of your life with.
Let’s say, some weird circumstance, and you also had at your complete disposal the system of your dreams, that you had assembled thru the years. And thank goodness you were a prepper and you thought ahead to install a solar power system, so power would never be a problem either.
Kind of like Tom Hanks on that island, except instead of a just a soccer ball, you had your dream stereo setup and one album only.
One album and that’s it. Got to pick one. Not necesssarily your all time favorite album, just one you could live with for the rest of your life.
Is there any album that just completely does it for ya, on that level?
I’ll kick things off by sharing mine: Steely Dan, Aja

@mahgister +1 But which recordings of Bach Goldberg Variations and Scriabin piano sonatas? |
Bach Goldberg by Feltsman incredible spontaneous almost improvised playings after the end of the Soviet empire in his first invitation to Moscow ... A top level Bach lesson in pure joy ...Gould is mannerism compared to it ... For Strings trio , the Sitkovetsky transcription is a treasure ... Scriabin by Sofronitsky or Zhukov ...The low cost version of integral by Michael Ponti is the only non Russian version i admired but the sound is horrible ...Try it at low cost if sound matter less than music ... I love him ...This version is unique but does not compared to Sofronitsky, nothing compared anyway ... It takes more than great pianist to play Scriabin, i tried them all 😁 ... Most great names are unable to play it because the time dimension in Scriabin is indecipherable linearly ... Scriabin dont play in the linear time dimension ...This is why Scriabin is one of the greatest musician adding something that dont exist in Bach ...Schonberg is under Scriabin genius for me not above , but Schonberg too with is mathematical recipe quit linear time ...Scriabin never used a recipe or a formula to create an artificial new world, he created without quitting the human heart with an artefact as Schonberg did ... Scriabin is like Gesualdo or Purcell , an island of its own ....
