I was just thinking about that the other day, listening to "Wish You Were Here." I miss that. Maybe it's still out there, and I just haven't found it recently.
- KGIII 9y agoI have heard some claims that they still exist and I can't argue they don't, only that they are rare and that I don't really enjoy the music from any of the examples I've been shown. I understand that it is one of the reasons people are enjoying some of the new material on vinyl. As before, the album art ties in with the story/concept. My struggle is finding some that I an appreciate. I love music from all sorts of genres and music that spans the ages. I have difficulties finding more modern examples to appreciate, unfortunately. There's a whole bunch of new music. The ability to create and distribute music has never been higher. Discoverability has been difficult, in my case. I struggle to find anything that I can really appreciate. Note: I am intentionally being careful to not say that the music is not good. I am not in a position to decide what is good. I can only authoritatively state what I enjoy.

I am a fan of Janelle Monae – Metropolis, Suite I: The Chase (2007), The ArchAndroid (Suites II and III) (2010) what about Deltron 3030, even though its almost 20 years old?
