You've got a time machine and your iPod is broken. If you bring more than 5 albums with you, they'll be disintegrated during the journey. (Hey, it's time travel. There are rules.)

You're going to medieval times or some shit. All the peasants and monks and dukes and bards want to learn of your future ways. Which albums would you play for them?

Nattvittje by Mikael Karlsson


The Bell by Ches Smith


The Disintegration Loops by William Basinski


Music For 18 Musicians by Steve Reich

I'd want to bring things that would be fairly familiar while also being fairly different, playing with some ideas that would've existed at the time and primarily using instruments that wouldn't be too shocking on the ears. While the work might be viewed as strange, it wouldn't freak those peasants out too much. Then, just as they were getting comfortable


Bangarang by Skrillex

I'd watch heads explode in confusion and pain as I'd be burned for witchdom

please elaborate on how this process works exactly. Could I per se snort the resultant album dust?

The time machine has highly calibrated object-recognition software and will remove whatever it perceives as non-essential luggage, so as to crack down on inter-dimensional smuggling. The disintegration process involves a swarm of targeted nanobots. You could snort the album dust, but then you'd also get cancer, so as to crack down on inter-dimensional hallucinogenic album dust smuggling.

well then of course the answer is to pack up an absolute fuckload of excess albums and a funnel to put all the dust in a bunch of vials to sell as carcinogenic bio weapons in the past.

Not sure what my first 5 would be just yet though...
