Nothing works without those '70-'74 years, apparently. This album up top predates that era.
Let's just leave it at that. It was never much of a mystery—just a persona. The sound and the lyrics are what endure.

A dedication found on the CD remaster of a much older, yet absolutely stellar album:
In various interviews, Joni Mitchell offered similar praise and dedications to this specific "musician." Anyone know who she’s talking about? 😁

Best double (and multi-disc) studio albums?

Not even close. I’ve owned at least three or four records where a single side clocked in at a full 30 minutes—I actually remember one album hitting 32 minutes on one side. Take Oldfield's "Amarok," for instance; the whole thing is exactly 60 minutes, split into two perfectly equal 30-minute sides.

True, but the whole ambiguity of power is baked into the motive from the start. The Queen at the top of the pyramid is simultaneously the most isolated and most persecuted figure. It’s only in that final scene that Abigail finally grasps the full weight of her success—or her downfall.
I have to give props to the wide-angle shots, too—they frame the characters within these massive, almost overwhelming spaces that really nail their spot on the social ladder. On the flip side, the whole vibe feels super staged, like a painting or maybe even a fish tank. Kinda grotesque, honestly.
Robbie Ryan. Period.

Sheila Chandra - ABoneCroneDrone. A '96 album. She’s a former musician—due to health issues, she’s practically mute today (a heavy story). I first stumbled upon this in some ultra-highbrow dive bar and was floored; over the last twenty years, I've kept rediscovering it by pure accident. It’s a striking blend of raw and polished, acoustic and digital, glossolalia meets structure. And, naturally, there are traces of India and Europe in there—but you'd need someone more academic than me to truly unpack that.

la Jetée
A few years back, I caught this in a packed theater at the SC in New York City. It was the same week they were screening Buñuel’s "Un Chien Andalou." Both were running on 35mm film.
