While re-listening to Bitches Brew tonight it occurred to me, there’s never been anything that sounds quite like it since, and there never will be again.
What are your favorite unicorn albums?

Ha, I came here to say Bitches Brew before seeing it was in the OP!
I’d add Loveless by My Bloody Valentine: much-imitated, but there’s nothing quite like it.
Also, my early '90s bias is showing here, but In Utero by Nirvana is uniquely brilliant. No one’s melded beauty and ugliness so successfully in any medium.
hahaha no way, came across this comment as When You Sleep is playing.
agreed, oft imitated but never matched
So happy they finally made
m b vthough. It was an amazing coda to their masterpiece which gave some much appreciated closure and cemented loveless’s place as the gem of their collection.I saw an interview with them about how once they figured out how to play that way, time started to pass differently, and it was a healing experience for them.
what’s the story with m b v? I just looked and saw that it’s the only full album on spotify, loveless (and others?) is missing
Idk about spotify, but m v b has some poppy tunes, some experimental tunes, and def goes on a little journey. Kevin Shields talked about how part of it was music he had shelved after loveless and dusted off and got out the door. There are two or three tracks that stand out to me, but it is definitely worth a listen!
