Record Collection: Crate #1
(in alphabetical order) I think I did this once before years ago and deleted the list... probably will omit a few of the cheap Salvation Army/thrift finds and what not... I guess I have well over 100 albums now so I'll have to make a second list for the rest of them |
| 1 |  | Altar of Plagues
Teethed Glory and Injury
(gatefold 2xLP @45RPM) very good atmospheric black metal band makes an amazing post-metal album... proud to have this at the front of my collection... RIP band |
| 2 |  | Aphex Twin
Selected Ambient Works 85-92
(2xLP) essential classic - every home should have a copy - love me some ambient techno |
| 3 |  | Autechre
Amber
(gatefold 2xLP) got these first three Autechre albums bundled when Warp reissued them all a few years back (no-brainer) - this is probably my least favorite of the bunch but still excellent |
| 4 |  | Autechre
Incunabula
(gatefold 2xLP) these are probably Autechre's most accessible albums (this one in particular) so chill and comfy (clap-clap) |
| 5 |  | Autechre
Tri Repetae
(2xLP) I'd call this one their magnum opus... still some level of accessibility (compared to a lot of what they'd release after this) but the music is really starting to sound like it was produced by machines, not by men.... (really wish I'd have snagged a copy of the 4xLP Exai boxset back when it came out...) |
| 6 |  | B12
Electro-soma
(gatefold 2xLP orange vinyl) more ambient techno from Warp |
| 7 |  | Bark Psychosis
Hex
pretty sure this was my introduction to "post-rock" back when I was in high school |
| 8 |  | The Beatles
Rubber Soul
brand new reissue of what is probably my favorite Beatles that my mom bought for me a number of years back when I first started collecting |
| 9 |  | Black Sabbath
Paranoid
actually have two copies of this... initially bought a new repress on an off-label just because this is another essential classic, but ended up seeing an older Warner Bros. copy years later that had the original gatefold packaging and had to buy it again..... |
| 10 |  | Blue Oyster Cult
Blue Öyster Cult
debut from a good old-school hard rock/heavy metal band... my dad gave me this one when I was starting off, pretty sure he found it at a local emporium |
| 11 |  | Boards of Canada
Music Has the Right to Children
(gatefold 2xLP with braille that I can't read) hey more Warp |
| 12 |  | Boards of Canada
Tomorrow's Harvest
(gatefold 2xLP) cool photography all along the inside of the gatefold and on the inserts as well that compliments the post-apocalyptic vibe/theme on this album |
| 13 |  | Boards of Canada
Twoism
very partial to this early BoC release... not sure why... might be that this seems a bit bleaker and colder than a typical BoC full-length |
| 14 |  | David Bowie
Low |
| 15 |  | David Bowie
Station to Station |
| 16 |  | James Brown
The Payback
(gatefold 2xLP) |
| 17 |  | Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds
From Her To Eternity
nastiest Bad Seeds is nasty |
| 18 |  | Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds
Your Funeral... My Trial
(gatefold 2xLP @45RPM) |
| 19 |  | Phil Collins
Face Value
(gatefold) pretty sure I found this in Salvation Army for a couple bucks (I'm sure every Salvation Army has a copy or two)... worth it for "In the Air Tonight" alone, but if I remember correctly, the album wasn't all that bad as a whole |
| 20 |  | Creedence Clearwater Revival
Cosmo's Factory
my mom gave me this one... probably just a cheap find she stumbled across in her journeys because that woman LOVES her fucking thrift stores... "Run Through the Jungle" is my jam though |
| 21 |  | Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young
Crosby, Stills & Nash
(gatefold) another nice, cheap Salvation Army find |
| 22 |  | Darkside
Psychic
(2xLP @45RPM) |
| 23 |  | John Denver
Greatest Hits
my dad gave me this one... I know he's a John Denver fan - not sure if he had an extra copy or picked it up somewhere (I doubt he gave me his copy lol) |
| 24 |  | Deftones
Diamond Eyes
(white vinyl) owls kill |
| 25 |  | Dinosaur Jr.
Bug
hard to believe they were able to follow up You're Living All Over Me with an album that is nearly as good |
| 26 |  | Dinosaur Jr.
You're Living All Over Me |
| 27 |  | Eric Dolphy
Out to Lunch!
not sure if this will ever click with me... just wanted to add some Blue Note to my collection |
| 28 |  | The Doors
The Doors
got this at the emporium... probably the single most battered, twisted, warped record I have (still jams).... hope playing it doesn't do my stylus harm |
| 29 |  | Bob Dylan
Blonde on Blonde
(gatefold 2xLP) I may or may not have pulled out multiple used copies of this at the record store and swapped in/out the sleeve that appeared to be in best condition with the vinyls that appeared to be in the best condition.... I am going to hell |
| 30 |  | Bob Dylan
Blood on the Tracks
lol this was an unpleasant surprise on first listen because I realized that the album I'd been listening to for years before, thinking it was original Blood on the Tracks, was actually almost all alternate versions (NY Sessions, I think).... so when I spun this I was like "WHY THE FUCK ARE ALL THE SONGS DIFFERENT!?" but yeah probably always gonna prefer the NY Sessions because of that, check'em out if you haven't, superior versions of a lot of the tracks IMO |
| 31 |  | Bob Dylan
Bringing It All Back Home |
| 32 |  | Bob Dylan
New Morning |
| 33 |  | Earth
Earth 2: Special Low Frequency Version
(2xLP) massive sound... but it doesn't crush you - it envelops you |
| 34 |  | Earth
Full Upon Her Burning Lips
(gatefold 2xLP crimson/black-swirl/splatter vinyl) |
| 35 |  | Emerson, Lake and Palmer
Tarkus
(gatefold) |
| 36 |  | Brian Eno
Here Come the Warm Jets
really need to get a copy of Another Green World - been meaning to for years... this is still a great album but in a completely different style |
| 37 |  | Flying Lotus
Cosmogramma
(gatefold 2xLP) more Warp!!! this time with 50% more bonkers!! |
| 38 |  | Flying Lotus
Until the Quiet Comes
(2xLP) |

Red Medicine |
| 40 |  | Fugazi
Repeater |
| 41 |  | Genesis
A Trick of the Tail
(gatefold) |
| 42 |  | Genesis
Wind & Wuthering |
| 43 |  | Godflesh
Hymns
(gatefold 2xLP orange vinyl) massive sound (but it does crush you) |
| 44 |  | Godflesh
Love and Hate in Dub
(black/cream swirl vinyl) first Godflesh record I bought (just stumbled upon it at a local head shop/record store shortly after falling in love and couldn't say no)... too bad a couple tracks from the CD are omitted on here |
| 45 |  | Godflesh
Pure
(gatefold 2xLP gold/black swirl vinyl, included a double-sided poster and multiple inserts, even has print on the inside of the packaging where the records are stored) likely my most prized/treasured record (but the neighbors won't be pleased).... might be the heaviest most massive (monolithic) relentless crushing thing in my collection |
| 46 |  | Godflesh
Selfless
(empyreal blue vinyl) crushing, yet so soulful |
| 47 |  | Godflesh
Songs of Love and Hate
(gold vinyl) now with 50% more groove |
| 48 |  | Grizzly Bear
Horn of Plenty
(translucent with black splatter vinyl) |
| 49 |  | Horseback
Piedmont Apocrypha
not my favorite Horseback album but hadn't even known this was a thing when I stumbled upon it so figured I'd check it out |
| 50 |  | Iggy Pop
The Idiot
love this - really need to check out his next record |
| 51 |  | jesu
Ascension
(gatefold 2xLP) got this on impulse when it was reissued a couple years back.... kind of a bummer... I didn't realize just how much Justin had altered it with the new mixes/mastering (so significantly altered to the point where this basically feels like him doing a cover album of his own album)... not pleased, prefer original |
| 52 |  | jesu
Christmas
(translucent ice blue vinyl) beautiful packaging and record (and the JK FLESH remix, which I had not heard until I got this physical copy, is dope) |
| 53 |  | jesu
Conqueror
(2xLP translucent clear vinyl) simultaneously hopeful and hopeless |
| 54 |  | jesu
Everyday I Get Closer to the Light from Which I Came
I need to order a copy of Terminus |
| 55 |  | jesu
Lifeline EP
(gold/black split vinyl) this was a pleasant surprise of a find and hearing it on vinyl made me fall in love even more |
| 56 |  | Jesu/Eluvium
Jesu/Eluvium
another pleasant surprise of a find |
| 57 |  | Jesu/Sun Kil Moon
Jesu/Sun Kil Moon
(gatefold 2xLP) underrated project - I really need to get some more Kozelek in my collection |

(gatefold) another gift from my mom |

Point of Know Return
another thrift find |
