A concept album is a studio album where all musical or lyrical ideas contribute to a single overall theme or unified story. In contrast, typical studio albums consist of a number of unconnected songs (lyrically and otherwise) performed by the artist. It has been argued that concept albums should refer only to albums that bring in themes or story lines from outside of music, given that a collection of love songs or songs from within a certain genre are not usually considered to be a "concept album."
Woody Guthrie's Dust Bowl Ballads (1940) is regarded as one of the first concept albums, consisting exclusively of semi-autobiographical songs about the hardships of American migrant labourers during the 1930s.Merle Travis' Folk Songs of the Hills (1947) can be considered a concept album as it exclusively features songs about working life on railroads and in coal mines.
In the early 1950s, before the mainstream breakthrough of rock and roll, concept albums were mostly prevalent in jazz music. Singer Frank Sinatra recorded several notable concept albums prior to the 1960s rock era, including In the Wee Small Hours (1955; songs about loneliness, heartache, introspection, and nightlife), Where Are You? (1957; songs about heartache), Frank Sinatra Sings for Only the Lonely (1958; songs about loneliness and heartache), Come Fly with Me (1958; songs about world travel), and No One Cares (1959; songs about loneliness and depression). Often credited as the innovator or originator of the concept album, Frank Sinatra's The Voice of Frank Sinatra (1946), Songs for Young Lovers (1954), and In the Wee Small Hours (1955) are generally considered among the first, if not the first, concept albums. Singer/pianist Nat King Cole's concept albums include After Midnight (1956; collaborations with jazz instrumentalists in the style of late-night jam sessions) and "Penthouse Serenade" (1955; songs detailing the "cocktail piano" era.).
Drake review: http://bit.ly/aLPbKj Matmos: http://bit.ly/921N8E What is your favorite concept album? What was the concept? What makes a concept album? Doesn't everything have at least a little concept to it? Are there albums that are too conceptual? What about not conceptual enough? Do you find yourself liking conceptual music more than non-conceptual music? http://theneedledrop.com http://bit.ly/TNDSupport http://bit.ly/TNDTwitter http://bit.ly/TNDFacebook http://bit.ly/TNDPodcast

It tells the story of Harry Gates, a recent convert to The Right Path. Before he becomes a full member, he has to remain in the Valley of Strangers for 1800 days without succumbing to any temptations which he may be offered. Over the course of his stay, he comes across a plethora of curious people and creatures, such as a magic-book-wielding wild man, the Shorecoatikinee, the sheep in human skin, the puppet people and the intimidating Mr. Boss.

https://theoraclemusic.bandcamp.com/ 'A Tragedy in Twilight: The Apotheosis of the Mad' is the debut album for The Oracle, an extreme progressive/atmospheric metal band with black/ambient undertones from Georgetown, Ontario, Canada. Formed in early 2006 as a progressive rock outfit, the Oracle has evolved and explored many genres through its brief career, ranging from progressive, ambient, and electronic soundscapes to brutal death and black metal attacks made up of contrapuntal melodies and soaring epic orchestration. The full-length conceptual album was fully recorded at Limehouse Sound Studios. The album was mixed and mastered at Sundown Studios in Guelph and released in August 2008. A. Cannell - Vocals, Guitars D. Attrell - Guitars, Keys/Programming, Backing & Clean Vocals R. Hill...

Pre-Order: https://blackhole.choons.at/eco-wolves If it feels like Eco has fallen somewhat release-quiet of late, well it’s not without good reason. Until a few years ago a veritable dynamo, no trance season was quite complete without a complement of his singles. As quixotically beautiful as their titles were intriguingly cryptic & enigmatic, ‘The Light In Your Eyes Went Out’, ‘Walkabout’, ‘A Million Sounds, A Thousand Smiles’, ‘Staring At The Sea’ and dozens of others came to rank amongst trance’s most imaginative and esoteric. Right up until summer, 2013. At that point Eco all-but shut off his release tap. Feeling disillusioned with the direction the music in the scene was heading, he resolved to do something about it. Eschewing his singles route, he stowed himself and set to work cr...
