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?

This is one of my favorite albums ever.

If anyone was wondering, I believe nearly the whole album is made up of samples.

The Avalanches have a ton of other stuff. If you are a fan of Since I Left You, definitely check out the Gimix version which starts similar but has a lot of different tracks in it (including much more famous songs) https://youtu.be/X7i8bIhJY8c

They're by far one of my favorite artists. And you are correct. The band has claimed the album has no original recordings at all. And something like over 3000 samples. I still don't even know how that was possible to do back in the mid 90s when they were making it. They're other two albums are also great, each one with a different vibe, although they started relying less on samples because of how much it complicated things to ask for so many rights to so many different tracks.
