I was just listening to Kid Creole and the Coconuts album "Fresh Fruit in Foreign Places" and came to the conclusion that it is a "perfect album". The story line, the instrumentation, the mix and even the artwork are all included in my rating of this record. Yes, the artwork and liner notes count as well. Dark Side of the Moon is a another good example. There's a million of them, whats yours?
What was I thinking - I should have mentioned this before - Santana, Abraxas. From the fantastic cover art to my first exposure to Latin tinged music, it's hard to imagine a much finer and consistent effort.
LOVE'S 'Forever Changes', Radiohead's 'OK Computer', Jefferson Airplane's 'After Bathing at Baxter's', Tom Waits' 'Small Change', Quicksilver's Shady Grove, Bebel Gilberto's 'Tanto Tempo', Pearls Before Swine's 'Pearls Before Swine'.
Ashra I was going to respond to the original post when I read your reply-a man after my own heart when a very nice selection of music from different genres and eras and I say that with the admission I have never heard some of the music you mention although I know of it. Brightened my day on Audiogon.
