This one benefits immensely from being split across four sides. It’s such a dense, frenetic listen that it’s way more digestible to us way. Seems like it’s intentional, maybe thematically so, to be spread across four sides when a single LP would’ve been sufficient. The entire album is under 40 minutes and each side is like 50% dead wax.

Today is Father's Day in Aus and my kids bought me a turntable, which is pretty cool.
I've set up the turntable upstairs with an old pair of Sonos Play 5s I had available - sounds great.
My plan is to use this upstairs area as a quiet zone and try to take an hour out each day to sit back, read a book and listen to some quality vinyl. Trying to do something positive for my head space which God knows I need.
So RMers, what are some must have vinyl albums I need? I'm looking for generally quieter, more contemplative stuff, but in saying that the field is very wide indeed. For example I'm currently spinning my old copy of Sade's Diamond Life, which is right in the sweet spot I'm talking about here.
I appreciate this is a big question but would love some suggestions. What are your go to albums to throw on when sitting back with a quiet beer and a book?
