John Coltrane - A Love Supreme

The absolute brilliance of A Love Supreme makes you nearly uncomfortable for the first while. Made by musicians who understand jazz on a level few do, it's a true journey into the mind of Coltrane while he tries to explain God in four nearly entirely instrumental movements of emotion and spiritual process. Simply put, this is well within history's greatest jazz jam sessions; a heavily influential album before jazz got high-jacked by hollow body electrics.

Blueprint Car Crash - Rhetoric Of a Marionette

Blueprint Car Crash was an amazing one-and-out type band that released this album under The Militia Group. Part complex indie rock and part post-hardcore, Rhetoric of a Marionette predated the scene that has become so generous to such abrupt time-signature shifts. This is an entirely ingenious approach to good songwriting in the later veins of At the Drive-In and other indie-punk acts for smart people. The EP flows start to finish with soaring refrains and everything you didn't really expect to hear next. Go ahead, find yourself singing a catchy polyrhythm.
