I thought that this would be a good idea for a topic, sorry if it's been done before . You know those albums you have that take you to another world. They're not necessarily masterpieces, but there's something about them that just seems to bring you to another world...I have two in particular:  Klaus Schulze-X  Neil Ardley-Kaleidoscope of Rainbows Honorable mention: Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven-GY!BE I'm sure there are many others, but these are the ones that have the most impact for me. Now, your turn  .------------- "Art is not imitation, nor is it something manufactured according to the wishes of instinct or good taste. It is a process of expression." -Merleau-Ponty |

Two already mentioned in this thread - Lift Your Skinny Fists... and
Agaetis Byrjun do it for me. Also, Yanqui U.X.O. by Gospeed and The Earth is Not A Cold Dead Place
by Explosions in the Sky.

X IS NOT MASTERPIECE??!! I beg to differ! Schulze/Namlook - Dark Side Of The Moog II -makes me everytime feel like I am in a silent world,of echoes and whispering voices,in which,suddenly,thunder begin to shake everything...light,colour...then back to slumber silence... Tangerine Dream - Rubycon Edgar Froese - Epsilon In Malaysian Pale Vangelis - El Greco King Crimson - The ProjeKcts this Crimson box always makes me imagine a world of void,even chaos,but active,on the move... -------------

Actually,I do think it is a masterpiece!!! I was so amazed by it that I wrote a review and remarded the album 5 stars, it does qualify for the masterpiece status IMO. I just meant the albums didn't necessarily have to be masterpieces , mine just happen to be masterpieces.------------- "Art is not imitation, nor is it something manufactured according to the wishes of instinct or good taste.

The one album that best represents "other worldly" for me is:
Jon Anderson-Olias of Sunhillow This is virtually a soundtrack to an unmade Sci Fi or fantasy film. Awesome album.
