Had to wrap Kevlar around my head this morning to keep my (blown) mind from escaping. Lots of great work(s) here. Got me thinking: I can think of many albums, in the first THIRTY-SECONDS, that woke up my senses offering a high level of creativity, uniqueness, and command of instruments and/or voices that made it apparent there was something truly extraordinary going on here. From the 31 second mark thru the remainder of album, it just built, and built, unfolding a musical masterpiece that will endure well beyond this lifetime. |
@mahgister thanks for the Four Seasons recommendation. I'm in no way shape or form a classical music listener, but have heard clips of these songs and have been looking to pick up a LP. This will be the version added to my want list on Discogs. Thank you! |
