While re-listening to Bitches Brew tonight it occurred to me, there’s never been anything that sounds quite like it since, and there never will be again.

What are your favorite unicorn albums?

    The Postal Service

    There are many synth artists that try to target a similar feel, but the way they tug on your emotions with just the subtlest of sounds. Everything feels like it’s meant to fit. Never has a song made me feel more homesick than Recycled Air. And I don’t even want to go back home.

    Honorable mention goes to Moon Safari by Air. First time I heard every song on that album felt like I’d heard it before in a memory.

      I still remember my first time hearing this too.

      The dregs of a house party. Only a few chill people still up. Sun starts coming up and someone put it on. Absolutely perfect setting to hear that album for the first time.

      I can immediately place myself in that room it seared itself into my memory with how well it hit.
