So I was listening to Crime Of The Century after reading Ken Scott's stories about it in his great new book. I'm reminded how much of an impact this record had on me as a very young boy, discovering just how great a record can sound. Not only sonically, but as a vast canvas of interesting textures and effects which, as it turns out was very different and intentional by Ken. This album was one that truly changed my life and made me not only question how they did that, but made me want to do it too.
So for anyone out there who hasn't heard this particular Supertramp album... It deserves you taking a listen, especially a good (not mp3 or youtube only) copy, if you are at all interested in the history of popular recording in the 1900s...
Thanks to my brother Brian for introducing me to such great records at such a young age... For a non musician, the single biggest musical influence in my life.
So... What are some of the albums that you all look back on, the same way I do with that record?
