What are the most mindblowingly creative, inventive, or otherwise otherworldly albums you know of?
One of my favorite things to do while stoned is listen to albums that are really unique, artful, and/or jam packed with soul and energy, as in that head space music just hits completely differently and it just lends to me finding a deep love and appreciation for the art of music. What're some of your favorites?
I discovered Hirasawa Susumu through his work on the Paprika soundtrack and later his other albums thanks to the magic of Youtube. I'm not even sure how to describe it, it's a whole world. There's this album (Kyusai no giho). I'm not a big fan of japanese music otherwise, but this ? I've never heard anything remotely like this. And it seems so coherent, so... mature, in a way.
Great idea for a thread btw, will have to peruse the replies
His Paprika soundtrack is integral to the movie. The opening theme where we see how she travels is phenomenal - the imagery plus the music is such a perfect one-two munch it makes me tear up.
As someone with extensive experience with sleep deprivation, I can say with confidence that Parade sounds exactly like the seam between consciousness and sleep.
