Are you already in India? Because if you aren't, these would be cds you are taking to India.

i always bring the same cds with me when i travel and they are tnt by tortoise and a hard day's night, although i think that baby ford's basking in the brakelights may be joining the club.

i feel like bringing any gybe with me to an unfamiliar place would weigh too heavily on the experience. i just want music to facilitate the trip, not overwhelm it.

Take the West Side Story soundtrack.

Oh and when you're there, sneer about how Himesh Reshammiya has too nasal a voice and hasn't done anything good since 2005; that seems to be the cool Indian critic thing to do. (NB: This might have changed in the last few weeks or days.)

Forget about CDs, people are in desperate need of guess papers over there.

I listened to a lot of DJ Shadow (specifically Preemptive Strike) the times I was in India. I know I brought other cds when visiting but I can't remember which. Also these dodgy compilation tapes that my little sister had of the Grammys and things that she had bought in the markets.

Rodrigo will be good.

Morton Feldman 2nd string quartet - if you're ever gonna have time for it, its now!

The way I read the thread title first, I thought you were planning on bringing all these CDs to India a la Prometheseus and fire or . Which seemed rather ambitious. I'd bring some Alban Berg or Brahms perhaps, as well as some John Fahey. But if I were IN India, I'd get me some more Kishore Kumar and R D Burman. So good!

^ or Moses or other some such nonsense.

"Joanna Newsom - Ys"

haven't they suffered enough?

Heh, I haven't actually listened to the album yet, nor have I listened to much of her stuff before, but I was curious. I'm just going to be playing it for myself in any case;)

best two cds for holidays in my experience are talk talk, spirit of eden and mogwai, come on die young.
