Noir Désir - Des visages des figures (2001). Сложность и образность лирики требует поиска нового музыкального выражения. Здесь поток сознания идеально оформлен. По-моему, именно такие звуки и мелодии сопровождают игры нашего разума...


The Stone Roses - Second Coming (1994)


The Velvet Undergroud - The Velvet Undergroud and Nico (1967)


Muse - The Resistance (2009). Да, все-таки добавлю этот альбом. Здесь XXI век представлен во всем своем эклектичном убранстве. Интерпретация старых идей и расширение музыкальных горизонтов современности.
