intriguing...

saw this over on bodytonic. techno label get physical are about to release final song, an album of pieces chosen by musicians to, well, i think they sum it up better than i can.

Coming in February 2009, 'Final Song' goes to the very heart of music's spiritual dimension by asking a number of musicians to select their ideal last song, either to serenade their final moments or to memorialize them after the fact.

The participating artists deserve to be commended for their openness: they're responding to one of the most personal questions one could ask. (Several of those approached declined to take part; taboos are taboos, after all.)

this is tracklist, taken from bodytonic. personally, i don't know what i'd pick. part of my thinks unkle's lonely soul, but that's a bit morbid. another part of me thinks all of boards of canada's beautiful in a beautiful place out in the country, but then again, i've listened to that so often i feel i might be neglecting something else out there. at the end of the day, who knows? it's not like any of us will really have a choice!
