While re-listening to Bitches Brew tonight it occurred to me, there’s never been anything that sounds quite like it since, and there never will be again.
What are your favorite unicorn albums?

I’d say pretty much anything by Jarre counts.
Absolutely, I just really like the composition of the concert in China, he managed to take songs that are all part of a very specific story, as all the early electronic pioneers were classically trained and wrote albums in movements, and create a new one with them. I tend to not like lives much, but he’s an absolute master as turning each one of them into their own distinct story.
If you’ve never seen the video for the concert in Houston it’s absolutely worth the watch. RIP Ron McNair. Nearly two million people saw it. It blocked the entire highway, and the craziest shit is the vast majority of people there had not a freaking clue who he was. The concert ends and people get interviewed: “what did you think? - I have no idea what the hell I just saw but it was the best fucking thing I’ve ever seen 🤯”
The craziest part is despite holding the records for some of the biggest free concerts on heart, he’s largely forgotten to history, only true connoisseurs and those who were true fans back then remember who he is.
