[jimmy]

PanterA - Vulgar Display of Power

It crushed my skull when I heard it back in the 90's. It still hits me like a ton of bricks to-day.

The album cover says everything about the music inside.

 

[Edd Extraordinaire]

That is an awesome cover. I read somewhere that guy got paid like 300 bucks. That's all.

 

[Green Lantern]

Wonder how many takes that took...

 

[jimmy]

Actually, they paid him like 50 bucks a take. They did FOUR takes.

 

[Green Lantern]

F**k... that would be a b**ch...

 

[jimmy]

Yeah. It's one of the coolest album covers.

 

[MrScissorhands]

Any album by 'Godspeed You Black Emperor!', especially 'Raise Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven' and 'Slow Riot for New Zero Kanada'.

They make instrumental soundscapes that are truly one of a kind, immerse you completely and cut straight to the heart. Brilliant band.

 

[Hudson]

Effloresce by Oceansize

 

[Mentok]

William Shatner - Has Been

 

[PLAS]

lately, I've been really into Illinoise by Sufjan Stevens (and I had it since january, but just three months ago I actually started getting into it)

I hope one of these days I can make an album as good as that one

 

[Mr Sparkle]

Ricky Martin's unplugged album.....a total experience.

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

Dooooooooodz....
