One of the greatest German achievements in lyricism this side of the millennium.

>>72109193

This looks very interesting but no descriptions are coming up in English. Requesting sparks notes for this too. When you say lyricism do you mean like hip hop tier or like Joanna newsom tier or what like what lyricism are we talking bout

Learn German and you'll know. Far beyond hiphop. Mostly storytelling of small processes painting a greater scenario pertaining to a theme in complicated endless sentences using old and uncommon words that sound nice together and complicated, confusing grammatical structures. Rather psychedelic if you understand the language. Probably just as psychedelic if you don't.

Midori - Hello everyone. Nice to meet you. We are Midori
This is an album quite a lot of mu would say is an essential i guess, infact it has a page on the /mu/ wiki apparently -
"This album collides classic jazz and rock instruments together with a traditional punk ethos and style, that brings this album closer to the realm of Noise or Noise Rock, with singing from the female vocalist consisting of a very feminine, almost child-like voice, interspersed with wild screaming and shouting, over a cacophonous medley of instruments in the background.

I'm just asking what are everyone's absolute favourites, or first thing they would think of, or most well known critically acclaimed non-speaking English album

It's supposed to be vague

Plastic people of the universe - Egon Bondy's Happy Hearts Club Banned
Basically czech zappa inspired rock/psych
"The Plastic People of the Universe (PPU) is a Czech rock band from Prague. It was the foremost representative of Prague's underground culture (1968–1989), which had gone against the grain of Czechoslovakia's Communist regime. Due to their non-conformism, members of the band often suffered serious repercussions such as arrests"
https://youtu.be/B91gRhq7fyA?t=40m59s

I wish it was easier to go through my albums and see which have non-English lyrics, the problem for me with a lot of my favorite music being from non-English countries is it's still often sung in English or more often, it's instrumental or the lyrics aren't the focus of the music

Off the top of my head though, I'd say:

Selda, Auktyon, Fairuz, Huun-Huur-Tu, Buenos Muchachos, Hukwe Zawose, Kazuki Tomokawa, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
