    Mysterious semblance at the strand of nightmares is an amazing track. Phaedra is an amazing album!

    I went to a friends for dinner recently. All 8 of us had to send him mp3s of our 5 desert island discs, and he played them all in a random order. At which point we all had to try and guess who had suggested which track, and they explained why. It made for a surprisingly entertaining night.Cracking food too.

    As for Lush and other shoegazing tunes, I had Chelsea Girl by Ride on my longlist. But it didn't make the cut...

    Did that have 'Hypocrite' on it? Loved that song. Otherwise I was mainly a fan of the Britpop album with the hits and the Jarvis duet.

    OK, I'm having a go too. Albums.

    Ensemble PAN –Johannes Ciconia: Secular Music
    Bob Dylan - Blonde on Blonde
    Little Feat – Waiting for Columbus
    Horovitz plays Mozart (cheapo DG compilation, c.1990, gold cover)
    My Bloody Valentine – Loveless
    Olivier Messiaen – Vingt Regards sur l’Enfant-Jesus (P.L. Aimard)
    Christophe Rousset plays D. Scarlatti
    Like You Do: The best of the Lightning Seeds
    Talk Talk – Laughing Stock
    Mala Punica – D’Amor Ragionando

    I am aware there's no proper rock in there which I'm sometimes in the mood for. Perhaps I should slip in Hüsker Dü's Zen Arcade into one of the CD cases. No orchestral music as I just can't imagine the sound on a desert island.

    As a book I'd take some very difficult maths that would help me pass the years. Open to suggestions. However in that case I'd also need a good pocket calculator.

    I forgot Pygmalion by Slowdive. And Manu Chao's Esperenza to balance the navel gazing. But actually I'm just listing albums now so I'll stop.

    2. Diplo: Summer's Gonna Hurt You
    3. Brand New Heavies: Sometimes (J Dilla Remix)
    4. RJD2: The Rain

    Luxury Item first, a solar powered gadget to play the following:
    The Court of the Crimson King: King Crimson
    The Needle and the Damage Done: Neil Young
    Paintbox: Pink Floyd
    Waterloo Sunset: The Kinks
    That's Entertainment: The Jam
    Duel: Propaganda

    Anything by Tom Lehrer to make me laugh!
    As for a book: Is there a book that gives 1001 recipes for Coconuts?
    No, thought not, so a survival guide by Bear Grills would do.

    Haven't heard it, probably just as well by the sound of it!
    Never mind tableturn, there are a lot of us fans of the original out there. The first time that I heard it, was when I was on holiday in Devon in the 70's. The DJ Alan (Fluff) Freeman, played it on his afternoon Radio 1 show. Now THERE was a DJ!! Happy Days.
