On the Ambient tip: "Thursday Afternoon" by Brian Eno is strange and wonderful - and is probably one of the longest tracks ever at 61 minutes - DJs who like a long dinner break take note. :)

On the Blues Tip: "Season of the Witch" by Al Kooper, Mike Bloomfield and Steven Stills.

On the Dance tip: Pretty much anything with 180-220 bpm'll do, really :) However... "The Hangar" by Eat Static is extremely frenetic, "Blue Room" by the Orb and Aphex Twin's stuff needs mentioning.

On the Goth tip: "Bela Lugosi's Dead" by Bauhaus (I think the live 12" version weighs in at over 10mins).

On the Hip hop tip: "Rapper's Delight" by the Sugarhill Gang.

On the Jazz tip: "B*tches Brew" by Miles Davis is grand as is his "In A Silent Way". "Nighthawk Postcards (From Easy Street)" by Tom Waits is a wild and wooly story with a great jazz backing.

On the Psychedelic t(r)ip: "Voyage 34" or "Moonloop" by the Porcupine Tree. "Jurrasic Shift" by the Ozric Tentacles also needs a mention .

On the Rock tip: 2 tracks - (but they do segue and the first is over 10mins) - "1983... (A merman I should turn to be)" and "Moon, Turn The Tides... gently gently away" by the good old Himi Jendrix Interference.

I was in Radio for a few years after I got out of the CG in the 80's. Went to Tech School and got my FCC 1st Class RTO license(at the time you HAD to have one, now anybody can). I was on WFAA-AM 570 (now KLIF), KLIF-AM 1190 (now 570), KDNT-AM-FM (now Kiss-FM)in the Dallas area, KYOT-FM 106.3 in Corpus Christi and finally KWCS-FM 96.7 (now The Twister) in Ft.Worth area. Radio is not the Big Bucks Celebrity Fest most people think. I did get to meet my share of singers, bands, ect..., but most of it was long boring hours at the very low end of the pay scale. If you are not Morning Drive on a Top 5 station in a Top 10 market you will starve. I made more money as a freelance news stringer for a Dallas TV station than I ever did on the air.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.

I'll go with Machine Gun as well, but that whole Band of Gypsies album is great.  Hendrix was on that night; it sounds like he's channeling notes & sounds from a different plane of existance.  Its my favorite live album.
