Could this count at the first Ambient album ever ?

>>70532282
Not really. There were several ambient records that predate No Pussyfooting, such as Popol Vuh's Affenstunde, Cluster's self-titled and Tangerine Dream's Zeit.

Soviet industrial music predating industrial by over 50 years

The first four tracks of Nite Flights are still slightly ahead of our time

He was mentally ill and musically inept. The Magic Band was comprised of outstanding musicians.

It's literally Mid 70s England: The Album.

Pic's early style Pere Ubu a couple years before them, and No Wave a couple more years before it.

>>70531211
>Dream Pop
Beach Boys

>Post-rock
Terry Riley, La Monte Young, other minimalist composers

>proto-punk/noise rock
The Sonics, The Monks, Blue Cheer, TVU's second album

>art rock and psych rock
The Beatles

Ahead of its time my ass.

>>70531650
This one's actually right.

>>70531882
Not really, I am pretty sure De La Soul released Three Feet High And Rising just slightly before this, and it was also composed of a ton of samples (I think it only has like about 10 or so less than PB) and has the same psychedelic maximalist feel.

>>70532177
Industrial hip hop existed for at least a decade before this came out.

>>70532210
It's The Beatles with a quadraphonic sound. Refined to perfection, but not ahead of its time.

>>70532211
Listen to more J-pop

>>70532234
Definitely for sure. Pop electronic stuff years before anyone else was doing it.

>>70532239
Everyone else was coping some kind of blues and jazz influence at the time. Not ahead of its time.

>>70532282
Some of the Berlin School guys beat it for sure, and even then it came out just around the time that stuff was being developed.

>>70532534
Scott Walker's experimental work from recent times is literally 21st century Zappa/Beefheart, making him pretty behind the times.

>>70533359
Definitely, he's up there along with Rusolo for legitimately pioneering that stuff.

>>70533443
I guess? A lot of its individual elements could be found in post-punk, but nobody just kinda Beatles'd it all up like they did on this record.

>>70533815
>Burial w/ some actual vocals and not as interesting beats
>ahead of its time
LMAO. Also perhaps you didn't listen to a lot of mainstream radio stuff from just a few years before this came out; it was a lot of melodramatic RnB with electronic effects on the vocals as well.

>>70533872
For sure a trend setter in mainstream pop, both for better and worse.

>MBDTF
>trendsetter

MBDTF hasn't been replicated since it' release because nobody even bothered to try. It's a personal and artistic statement that wasn't concerned with commercial success and it's one of his lesser selling albums. MBDTF is the most singular release in hip-hop history.

A lot of stuff on here sounds like it should have been released in the past 10 years.

Also The Shape of Punk to Come by Refused was indeed the shape of punk to come.

>>70531650
i always think this one was released in the 90s

>>70534610
I am talking in terms of its approach. Just like Illmatic set the trend to have a bunch of different people on one record instead of just one rapper one producer, MBDTF takes something like that up to 11. Number of people that work on an average pop record has gone way up, a chief example being Beyonce's Lemonade.

From a sheerly musical perspective though, it wasn't even the first in the same year with a maximal approach. Janelle Monae released The Archandroid a few months before he released MBDTF, and in a way it's even more maximal with how much more diverse each track is on that record. Justin Timberlake approached maximalist pop himself with the 20/20 Experience.

I assume that this one was so obvious that no one posted it yet.

>>70534804

This album gets less and less praise with every passing year.

>>70534862
Not that anon, but in the end I think a lot of people realize that the process for making the album is what's truly influential about it not necessarily the quality of the tracks themselves, but it does have a few brilliant tracks though.

>>70534804
there is nothing on this album that hadn't been done before. totally over rated.

this predates the first krautrock album on rym by about two years

>>70534727
damn i thought of this as soon as i saw the title
such a timeless album

>>70535448
Nah

>>70534439
>The Sonics, The Monks, Blue Cheer, TVU's second album
>TVU's second album
Anon....there's at least one album on that list that banana album was ahead of.

>>70535257
Show me a pop song like A Day in the Life. I'm genuinely curious.

>>70535347
how is this ahead of its time?

>>70535711
I think he might be referring to Penderecki, Stockhausen, Ligeti, et. al which of course did NOT write pop music. American Metaphysical Circus off of United States of America's s/t draws a lot from Ives but it was released a year after Sgt Pepper.

>>70535879
Because IMO it features a complexity of rhythm, originality and sound design that has yet to be matched, let alone exceeded.

>>70535903
just because (in your opinion) it's better than many albums in that category doesn't mean it's ahead of its time

>originality
don't get me wrong, I like this album, but you're deluded

>>70535681
Also a quick search on wikipedia shows that Blue Cheer formed in 1967. The Velvet Underground & Nico's recording sessions finished in November of 1966.

>>70535879
>>70535961
name one album similar to Confield that came before it

>>70536181
if you were a little bit less narrow minded you'd know what they were genre they were influenced when they were making confield

>>70534610
>It's a personal and artistic statement that wasn't concerned with commercial success and it's one of his lesser selling albums
Beyonce - Lemonade

>inb4 its not personal when it's made by lots of people
also relevant to MBDTF

Not him, but please rephrase your sentence. I do not understand it in any way.

Almost all of his solo albums. What you can pin to a certain point in time - it would be the 80's. Other than that, his music transcends time.
