Skylarking - XTC
Is there a notice on the cover?
Make sure it's the new 'polarity corrected' version of course.
Precisely why I dislike multi sided 45 rpm reissues. Totally ****s up the intended flow of the record.
Animals by Pink Floyd.... just to get started...Allow me to elaborate, and to apologize if this is a threadworn thread:
Roxy's Music's Avalon just flows, one song suggesting the next. The entire album has a mood and while you can certainly enjoy a single track, the songs on this album are best experienced as a part of the whole. Does that make sense?
What other albums are like this? Any genre, any time in history--talk to me, people! I wanna get lost in some beautifully-conceived albums!
From R&B standpoint, Bloodstone Natural High....Animals by Pink Floyd.... just to get started...
Love Steely Dan; good call. "Aja" is also fantastic, obviously. Will give that Knopfler album a shot; I just remembered Telegraph Road by Dire Straits was quite the album (I think that was the name of the album, anyways).FRED JR.
There are a ton of albums that flow like AVALON, already mentioned in this thread.
Trouble is, none of us agree on every album as it's all highly subjective.
Have a read. Have a listen. Take your pick. That's what I do.
LOW RISK Recommendations from me include: -
Hope you can find at least one, new "AVALON".
- RHYE, Woman
- ZERO7, Simple Things
- MICHAEL FRANKS, The Art of Tea; (Also) Tiger in the Rain
- STEELY DAN, Gaucho
- DONALD FAGEN, The Nightfly
- KAREN SOUZA, Hotel Souza
- MARK KNOPFLER, Ragpickers Dream
