Kid Kishore's 7" (Social Registry's 'Social Club No. 9') is pretty bonkers. Hyperspeed tempo and weird sampling throughout. Dude knows how to mash and meld, but to questionable success.
Miles Davis' Kind Of Blue is one of the most perfect pieces of music I own on vinyl, well-regarded as one of, if not the best jazz record of all time.
"So What"
Talking Heads' Fear Of Music, produced in part by Brian Eno, is certainly an excellent Talking Heads recording. The year was before my time (1979) but it was their 3rd record and 2nd with production help from Eno. "I Zimbra" and "Life During Wartime" stand out, though everything here is worth the spin.
Fun Fact: Gene Wilder plays congas on a couple tracks?
"Life During Wartime" from Stop Making Sense
DNA on DNA is a compilation of DNA's material released in 2004, and re-released this year on No More. This is not necessarily easy listening, rather it's quite the opposite - cascades of drum sounds mixed with thrashes of guitar clanging mixed with keyboard clanking mixed with some sort of vocal outbursts. The 2LP packaging is beautiful, all glossy with collages of gig posters and band photos. Recommended for fans of noise music, definitely not for everyone.
