Silence is golden: 63 albums for the future

It's been a while since I've been writing here. I've actually kept myself busy with other type of activities than music -related. Meaning outdoor activities and to get me in shape. That stuff I have been blogging too, to the Wordpress -blog http://kotletti.wordpress.com/. But that's in finnish, whoever can and will is more than welcome to read and comment, too :D.

This blog and my pseudonym Incredible Jens, are highly related to the music. Either the one I've made or the one I've been listening.

Anyhow, last night it appeared to me that it's about the time to change my iPod music library. And then, I thought that ok, I can do it in a way that also benefits my English writing skills while I ride my bike to work and listen to these timeless albums. I also thought that I could listen them, once again, as albums, as they might be intended, and not pressing the complete experience as background music by pressing randomize. OK, not too often, at least :D. While listening, I could make some mental notes and then, once again, write about what I do think about those selected albums.

And here's the list, mostly unknown or unthoughtfully or only partly listened.
