i couldnt find the studio album so I listened to the originals by Ornette Coleman. While my depth of knowledge of jazz music is limited I thoroughly enjoyed his work.

Music From The Penguin Cafe

Penguin Cafe Orchestra

3/5

"The band's sound is not easily categorized, having elements of exuberant folk music and a minimalist aesthetic occasionally reminiscent of composers such as Philip Glass." - From their Wiki page. Would be good as background music

Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul

Otis Redding

I consider this a near perfect album. Redding's voice has such authority. He is missed.

3/5

I'd like to give this a 3.5/5 and not a 3. I thought their indie rock style was impressive. Worth a revisit or perhaps a look into their later albums

People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm

I was pleasantly surprised by this record. I enjoyed the music style. lots of varying vocal tones, mysterious feels to it. this is good music for soft background listening with the occasional rise in tension and sound (suspense like)

Strange Cargo III

William Orbit

Hot Rats

Frank Zappa

4/5

love these tunes, jazz influenced, alternative rock I believe.

Kraftwerk

4/5

crazy this album was released in 1979. this is basically what Daft Punk is built on. i give it a 4/5 for sound and historical significance

Jerry Lee Lewis

4/5

Goodness, gracious this man has true energy. The live set was an incredible experience. I will revisit this record when I need a pick up. I couldn't stop moving along with the sound

Vivid

Living Colour

3/5

i really dig the lead vocals. electric bass slaps pretty hard. all in all, id say this is a pretty solid rock album. some socially progressive lyrics to boot

Femi Kuti

3/5

some real groovy ensemble, african group with themes of prospertity, non violence, peace, etc

Africa Brasil

Jorge Ben Jor

3/5

more groovy ensemble brazilian music

Cosmo's Factory

5/5

southern rock at it's finest right here. i'm so inclined to give it a 5 just off of their rendition of "Heard It Through The Grapevine" alone!

Aqualung

Jethro Tull

3/5

well rounded music, worth a revisit

Tortoise

3/5

an interesting, melodic, instrumental group. very progressive style of rock i think. long drawn out songs with ebbs and flows of feeling. probably a 3.4/3.5 for me

Out Of The Blue

Electric Light Orchestra

4/5

i discovered this record a while back and it has become a classic in my library. the tunes they have produced are great pieces of rock. giving it a 4 but for me its probably a 4.3/5

Headquarters

The Monkees

3/5

i thought this music sounded good with a beatles-esque, early rock sound. then i learned that the group was manufactured for a tv show. it lowered my interest in the group.

Here's Little Richard

Little Richard

4/5

great voice, classic rock sounds.

New Forms

Roni Size

90's electronic. chill dnb and jazz vibes. I actually digged this album even though im not the biggest dnb fan. A good album for ambient sound

All Hope Is Gone

Slipknot

3/5

i am not a heavy metal fan mostly due to the vocals. but i can say that i do enjoy the guitar and drum instrumentals. there were a few songs on the album which reminded me of the theme song from BMS and that I liked

Astral Weeks

Van Morrison

4/5

not much to say other than Van Morrison is king
