Kids Music submitted by jibkidder on June 14, 2022, 10:14pm There are a thousand things to be said about this seminal work, but the one I will say is: check this out for your age 3 to age 9 year old child, children are very responsive to this music! It makes sense to them in the age they are living!

A Sci-Fi Concept Album That Stands the Test of Time submitted by Meginator on June 28, 2023, 11:11pm With its blend of electronic sounds and its forthright declaration in the first track that “we are the robots”, this album feels a bit like a concept album, thematically coherent and easy to listen to in a single sitting. This might be due to its age, and the relative forthrightness and mechanical sounds of its electronic arrangements, but its an aesthetic that the group is clearly comfortable with and they really run wild with it. Always slightly out there but never truly alienating, the tracks develop naturally and work well with each other, never really betraying their age because of the group’s tight grip on thematic consistency. Though it is not exactly timeless, the album has a classic quality to it and it retains its sense of mystique even in an era where the pop charts are largely populated with synthesized sounds.
