1001 Albums Summary

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz

absolutely jammin jazz record. great vibes 3/5 very good

Selected Ambient Works 85-92 by Aphex Twin

trippy, clearly ahead of its time, kid a vibes. some cool moments, but not into techno. 2/5

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic

heavy and groovy at its best moments, unlistenable and obnoxious at its worst. opening solo is cool but overly long and masturbatory. vocals are whack. saved by some creative guitar work. 2/5

Funeral by Arcade Fire

indie rock at its indie rockiest. 3/5
