Thinking about Godspeed You Black Emperor- Lift Your Skinny Fists, I want to make a thread about albums that flow together seamlessly and are like journeys rather than just a collection of songs. The albums create contrast or parallelism between songs that contribute to an overall atmosphere. I think they work best when they have bits that aren't music but help create mood. Lift Your Skinny Fists is great, with only 4 tracks on a double album, every "mini track" flows together great. And the interludes between each track are excellent (such as the old man talking about coney island and the grocery store announcements) and keep the entire feel throughout the album while keeping it interesting. A Few Old Tunes is great in this aspect. Its soiled a little from having listened to several of the tracks elsewhere, but it still creates a child-like/retro feel throughout it. Geogaddi also works great as an album. (I am not so sure about MHTRTC, though I haven't listened to it in a while.) Drukqs is also great. This has the ultimate contrast between songs, that you just couldn't get from listening to the songs individually. I don't really expect anyone to add anything, as I am not sure I really made myself clear. But you can contribute albums if you want to. [/hippie] |

Valentin Silvestrov- Requiem for Larissa is definitely my favorite aural experience, the first track is pure black death and the rest is the resulting rollercoaster ride though all the different phases of emotions and realities. lolz hawt Electronic wise, Chiastic Slide is one of the most visual albums I've heard, in my head I've pretty much drawn up a map/blueprint in my head of the mechanical city I imagine when I listen to it. Stay away from the west end, man, scary shit. |

a lot of albums are like that for me... some more than others, but it's even rare for me to find albums which do not feel like a "journey" at all. so i guess i could quote a hundred albums or something like that. which is too much. (also, i think geogaddi is poorly constructed so i will disagree, but you know i keep on badmouthing boards of canada anyway.) |

Haha, I disagree with most of these, but its a particularly subjective aspect of music. Maybe some Dr. Octagon could be considered as well, now that I think of it. |
