Revolver The Beatles
One of the most enjoyable pop albums of all time, an iconic work that will forever be used as an example for songwriting expertise.
Sexwitch Sexwitch
Impressive vocal performances and a hugely gratifying tribal rhythm section ensure *Sexwitch* makes for an enjoyable — if limited — experience.
Electric Ladyland The Jimi Hendrix Experience
Instinctive, messy, and rambling, with shimmers of the divine. Electric Ladyland speaks in a kind of rock and roll tongues, with Jimi Hendrix front and centre.
Gish The Smashing Pumpkins
The record is a rich and gloriously grubby collage of sounds. It stands somewhere between Pixies and Nirvana, with an added injection of psychedelic rock.
Surrealistic Pillow Jefferson Airplane
A staple of the psychedelic folk-rock genre, feeling as fresh and vibrant now as it did in 1967. It sounds like a wonderful montage of the ’60s.
"Awaken, My Love!" Childish Gambino
The album boasts a lush, colourful sound, drawing from elements of funk and soul to create an impressively modern vibe. It's just a shame it's so cartoonish.
Paul Marchesani: I always knew my music was connected in some way.
Paul G. Marchesani is a freelance producer and radio host from Philadelphia who's building a shared musical universe one album at a time.
Shades of Deep Purple Deep Purple
The sonic scenery is colourful and smoky, and the band sound like they’re having the time of their lives. It's loose, but it's endearing too.
Smote Reverser Oh Sees
From its ludicrous track names to its filter-free kitchen sink instrumentation, *Smote Reverser* is an hour-long marathon of pretentiousness and tedium.
Bottle It In Kurt Vile
The whole record has an easiness of manner, content to be the sonic backdrop for a wanderer with no particular destination in mind.
