Classic Album Sundays

"Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots" by The Flaming Lips, released in 2002, is a genre-defying masterpiece. Its blend of ethereal lyrics and experimental electronic-rock textures showcases The Lips' innovative approach to music, making it a landmark album that pushes artistic boundaries while resonating emotionally with listeners.

Michael Jackson's 'Off the Wall' is a game-changing masterpiece that showcased his evolution as an artist. Released in 1979, it seamlessly blended pop, R&B, and disco, setting the stage for his iconic '80s reign. With chart-toppers like 'Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough,' it's a timeless classic that defines an era.

'Journey In Satchidananda' is a spiritual odyssey through ethereal harp and jazz-infused improvisations. Its fusion of Eastern mysticism and avant-garde jazz creates a transcendent sonic pilgrimage.
