All Day (Girl Talk album) by Gregg Gillis. I was so bummed that I didn't go to see him when he came to town about 7 years ago.
The samples are super crazy!

Here's a cool visualization of the samples:

And here it is deconstructed:

Rendez-Vous by Jean-Michel Jarre. It would have been an even better album if the Challenger hadn't blown up. Read the Wikipedia article if you don't know what that means.
Only familiar with Oxygene.. I assume Render-Vous has the same style of music as Oxygene?
Of course with 80's synth sounds, less vocals etc..

How do you pick just one? That would mean it'd be the absolute best album in your opinion and that's kind of hard to define because there's so, so many.

I can't decide between a Western, Country, Pop, Hip-Hop, or an Electronic (Cyberpunk-style) album.

I'd definitely say Ennio Morricone's masterfully well put together artistical songs are something I'll never get tired of hearing.



RIP, Mr. Morricone.

Actually, it is very different. To borrow a phrase, it has more notes than Oxygene and is less boring than Oxygene, which is great for a first album but over-rated in hindsight.

1 is kind of new agey intro ; 2 sounds like a mix of 1812 Overture and Tocatta & Fugue in D minor; 3 is Laser Harp; 4 is pop single for radio; most of 5 is well, cheezy; Last Rendez-Vous is sax improv over dirge-like chords.

I haven't fully delved into his discography yet, only heard Oxygene.. and i like what i heard from that..
You mean it's "Different" from it but in a good way, with varied sound, influences, production etc.? Sounds cool. Might check it out, thanks!
