That Walter Carlos - Sonic Seasonings is one that I was not familiar with and am now loving it so much...very cool atmospheric...perfect example of why the VC is a beautiful thing. Cheers man

Thank you for sharing !!! I read or saw an interview it was Jimmy Page on Goldfinger when he was a session musician in London Cheers don from the PNW Vancouver Island Canada

i enjoyed your video. the walter carlos album came out in 1972. just got it out and played it today. on fall side 3 it has fire and rain sounds, i thought i had a worn out copy. thanks to you i now know that's it was it should sound. thank you for the info.

Hello from England......i`ve been a watcher,subscriber of your videos from the start and although the vast majority of bands/artists you talk about,i haven`t got a clue about,i just sit watching your your videos with great intent. I can honestly say there is only perhaps six albums that have blown my mind etc... and one of them is also Kate Bushes Hounds Of Love. I agree that Running up that hill is a fantastic haunting song but the one that did it for me,gave me that wow factor,was Cloudbusting and it`s accompanying video,thats the one that made me go out and buy that album. Great video sir,keep them coming.

First time tuning into your channel. So glad I did. Thank you!

Really glad to see that you have sorted out your problems. Interesting choise of albums that also includes some of my favourites. Kate Bush is a fantastic singer and it`s sad that she was absent for many years. Vangelis Blade Runner is among my blew my mind albums. A recent "blew my mind" is the group "Heilung" and there "Lifa-Live in Castefest" album. This concert can been seen on youtube and is really mindblowing. The vocalist Maria Franz has an amazing voice . She can do high notes like Kate Bush. Everyone should see this.

Excellent video!

Thank you SO much for your videos. All the best to you Mr. oddboxTopper!

I know I'm in the minority but Atom Heart Mother is my favorite Pink Floyd album.

I'm a new subscriber and I enjoy your videos. I love the collection behind you in this video, Dick Dale, The Beatles, The Stones, Hendrix, Pink Floyd and Blade Runner. Take care.

I'm rewatching some older videos and I've gotta say, Loreena Mckennit's The Visit blew my mind too. I've never been the same lol

I love Goblin ! Great selection there Topper 👍

Grea albums there, and a nice nod to Gödel Escher Bach, which is very much a book to blow our minds!

Thanks Topper for your great bmm recommndations , never come across Loreena Mckennitt before , just checked her out on youtube , haunting voice and amazing band of players , I even see she has played at the Albert Hall here in the UK , perhaps she will be there again when things return to normal

Great video Topper! I love all the James Bond soundtracks. Goldfinger, Casino Royale, For Your Eyes Only - great stuff. I loved hearing about the story behind it too.

Nice selection of choices. Great stuff Topper. Have a great week Tom.

You blow my mind Topper 👍

Very cool selections. Especially The Goblin album. I've been a fan of theirs since I first heard them while watching Dario Argento's Suspiria in the early 80s. I loved hearing how each album blew your mind, Topper. Very elegant and throughly entertaining. Thanks my brother for another great video. I may try my hand at it. Lol. Later man.

Nice pics man.. I used to play that Goldfinger album alot too.. Shirley Bassey's vocals come booming out like a thunderstorm. I left a thumbs up dude..🎚🎶

Morning Topper☕️👋🏻.....boy I hear yea soooo many mind blowing albums through our lifetime...but! I’m still gonna take notes....cheers brother be safe n well- Lis Wow Topper so cool to see Roy make your list!! I love love Roy

You're top-notch, Doc Topper. Another cool video with some interesting albums. Cheers! 🍻

Some great insight there. I'll have to look for some of those.

Thanks for jumping in on this. Yeah I started this but never thought it would go on to be a thread. Cool showings. And coincidentally I posted a David Sylvian video earlier today. I have that album w Fripp but only on CD. 🚀🎶🌼

Time for me to go check out some new albums! You're the best Topper! Peace.

Hello Topper. Every LP you shown was amazing and I could not argue with any. Great Taste in music 🍻

Vangelis and John Barry are my two favorite composers. Picked up most of the Vangelis CD reissues from the past decade. Love Kate and Loreena, too. Great selections!

Wow. You picked three I would have picked, as I bought them when they came out..which makes a difference how they affect you. Goldfinger. My first and favorite 45 was Shotgun. (Do the jerk now). I traded it for the Theme to Goldfinger. That tells you something. Album came later when I had more money in my pocket. I noticed your copy has no ring wear on the blacks. I made a point in the 1980's to buy another copy with no ring wear, and it's still in the plastic. Important! Wendy's Sonic Seasonings was great on my 4 Channel Pioneer system from 1972. Loved being surrounded by it. When kids came to my door for Halloween, (first time I had my own place in 1974) I had Winter from the album playing to mood up the scene... I don't have that Sylvian Fripp album, but have the gorgeous Sylvian Nine Horses Snow Born Sorrow recording, his lovely Spirits of The Beehive and somewhere I have the Japan albums, which still amaze me. That bass player! So, albums that not only blew my mind, but changed my life direction, were..Miles Davis' Bitches Brew, Weather Report's first album, The Eddie Sauter Stan Getz soundtrack to Mickey One, (still unbelievable) and Miles Davis' Live Evil. Thanks for the show. And I hope your Governor kicks that Trump postmaster's ass.

Glad to see you starting off with a cold brew “cheers”🍻. That alone tells me that you’re in a better state of mind than the last video.😁

love ya' topper...the other day, for the first time, i went to a goodwill looking for albums since you always seem to do so well...they had nothing except one album, not even in a sleeve, that was 'sinatra..dino..and sammy...live in atlantic city...not for sale...souvenir only...'..not in the greatest shape but what a find...stay well my friend...peace always...rocky

Topper my vinyl collection has really grown these final years because of your videos. I really value your opinion on the albums you pick up and the description of the music and artist. Thank you sir. Keep up the videos.

Atom Heart Mother!! Nice!!! A must have!

Hey Topper, Good to see you back in top form again.Enjoyed this video very much."Goldfinger" was released in 1964.The guitarist is Vic Flick who worked with John Barry a lot. Cheers and Best Wishes Ian from Liverpool England

🍻cheers to you, brother. Interesting Bach facts.

Super

Roy was so good man, I was really into his music in my early 20s. Great video

Love your show man.....we come from the same place.....totally agree with you.....jesus be goly......glad i found you good man....and i thought i was lost in time......great musical review.....finally.....great music discovery......Suspiria....great movie..... I mean......damn.

Great showing of some interesting records.Not familiar with them all, but great to hear the stories behind them.

Gracias mi amigo. Me diste varias cosas para investigar. Gracias por compartir.

I love Kate bush she is a one of a kind artist I have that album on CD really good I wanted you tell anyone who would listen my personal favorite ,a the dreaming which was before hounds of love there is no way to describe her except just one word.....magical! Nice to see others show love for this lovely woman's music have a wonderful weekend be careful :)

Great picks and an interesting thread

Loreena grew up in a town about 20 mins from her. Terrific singer. My wife is a big fan. I here you in China. I recently bought it and yes, mind blower. Goldfinger eh? I see it from time to time in the VC. May have to look for it. Great batch albums, Topper!

Hi Topper. You blew my mind showing us some killer stuff. You have excellent taste of music. Peace and stay healthy everyone.

Have the Walter Carlos...found it for £1 in a charity shop a few years ago,almost mint.Have Atom Heart Mother and the Kate Bush on cassette!Have quite a bit of Sylvian/Japan/Fripp/Crimson but not that one.Also have Goblin's 'Suspiria' on cd. My friend who used to live across the road from my parents' house was a big Roy Buchanan/Steppenwolf/John Kay fan.Spent many hours in his room spinning that stuff in the early '70's when we were teenagers.Great Daze,they were.Ah,for time travel...

I listened to The Minotaur by Dick Hyman. It blew me away. It was just weird enough to take you into very surreal terrain. John Cage's Music For Prepared Piano blew my mind. Harry Partch's music blew me away. He built his own instruments. Ravel's "L'enfant et le Sortilege" blew my mind. "The Who Sell Out" blew my mind.

Fantastic video my friend! It made my vinyl adrenaline rush! Maybe it was the coffee that helped too, but dam, so many classic albums. Quite a few of those albums have also blown my mind, and some I never heard about till now! I have that Vangelis China album on a UK pressing. I had it digitally for a few years, but it never hit me as it did listening to it on vinyl! It’s amazing, before recording that album, he never went to China. But he really captured China in that album. I lived in China for 8 years. There were major parts and even little subtleties that he expressed musically that really captured the culture, music, history, and emotions of China. How do you feel about his “Opéra Sauvage” French nature soundtrack? The last six months it’s been rising to one of my favorites. So much so that I bought a Netherlands and UK pressing of it. I sent you an email a little over a month ago asking about what Vangelis albums you have. I found a store by my grandpa’s place that has a great collection there. Last time, I found Jon Anderson & Vangelis “Short Stories” on vinyl. I’m going to my grandpa’s next week. Let me know if you have any Vangelis grails on vinyl. I know you said you have his whole catalog, but if you’re missing anything, let me know. I’ll keep an eye open for you. Your synth music gives me a Vangelis vibe! Also, I have some incredibly difficult ones to find on digital. There’s so many different periods of Vangelis, from Aphrodite’s Child, side projects, different periods, different studios, and even albums that got released that he never wanted to see the light of day.

Hey Topper, really enjoyed your top ten albums that blew your mind. Some super cool choices that were unexpected like Bach and Kate Bush. Take care brother, Cheers Snowy

Have you ever considered teaching music appreciation at a junior college or something similar? You are very knowledgeable and varied that everyone can get on board your train! Love your choices and many were new to me. A friend played Roy Buchanan's first album with the black and white cover for me in a candle lit room after a puff or two back in 1973. I was blown away!!! Thanks Topper!! Peace and health to you!!

Good to see you are perservering. I really like atom heart mother too. Tbh after wish you were here Floyd became far too Waters and plodding. I would want to trace a copy of sonic seasonings having never even heard it. I have the other more common ones he/she put out.

This may well be your most interesting you tube offering Sir Topper . My list would be totally different (except perhaps the Kate Bush) bu t that is entirely beside the point. Keep up the good work and stay healthy!

rip great man

Bach, such a great pick. Incredibly beautiful music. Goldfinger, I loved the music in the first 4 James Bond movies, so much good stuff in all those movies. Sean Connery was the best. Vangellis, what a interesting pick and Kate Bush. Atom Heart is such a beautiful piece of music, I found it in MoFi, awesome stuff. Great picks Topper

John Barry is one of the greatest. “Somewhere in Time” is my favorite...just amazing.

Dude, you are so cool. I love The Visit. Have seen her many times. Front row at Massey Hall in Toronto a few years ago and in a little church in her hometown of Stratford, Ontario, Canada. She is brilliant and commands the best musicians to play with her. She is also a fun, creative beautiful spirit. When you see her live she shows you her soul. Roy Buchanan...Interesting...will look for that album. I have a few and the one that blows my mind is "Your'e Not Alone" Take Care

Great selection Topper. Can't fault any. Wonderful to know you're a fan of Kate Bush too. As popular here in Australia as her native England but not that successful in the USA. My favourite artist of all time. If you haven't already, check out her album Sensual World, that's mind blowing too. Vangelis - goes without saying. Loreena McKennitt - superstar. Take care and stay safe.

Great video, you should start a “Blew my mind challenge” in the VC and challenge the other channels, I wonder what albums blew up Mazzy’s mind??

Hi Topper, one of my earliest albums was also a James Bond movie soundtrack, Thunderball, also a gift from my parents. I just loved the movie, have watched it many times, and the album with Tom Jones doing a "thundering" theme song, just blew my mind. The whole album takes me back to that first time I saw the movie at a Drive In with my parents. So atmospheric. I've taken note of some of your mind blowing albums and will check them out. Thanks for the video.

That Beautiful People album..never seen that before..very cool...I have ignored Kate Bush for no reason at all and recently thought of exploring some of her music..Hounds Of Love sounds like a good place to start..Goldfinger..what a classic song, great soundtrack..Any early Floyd album is mind blowing worthy..Roy Buchanan was incredible..saw him twice live..once in a small club and once at Massey Hall..love your list..I gotta jump on this thread..glen kellaway

Cool albums hope all is well

I love Buchanan’s cover of Down By The River

Kate Bush, Vangelis albums... you rock, sir. And your other picks are great to me, too...

Topper, been meaning to subscribe for a while and today when you picked China by Vangelis, that was the last straw! You have great taste in music and I always check out what youre showing. That al um has an atmosphere that really transports you to the orient. Everything else you showed was really cool as well. Continued best wishes for your never ending thrift store finds. It really does make all the crap going on more bearable when we can indulge in a little escapism and the love of music. Keep on keeping on. Holy crap! Where did you get that vinyl of The First Day? Darshone baby, that album is so dann good! Peace!

Hey Topper enjoy all your videos. But the ones that are really good. When you talk about an album that impacted you or something that going on at the time. Simply put the stories. Peace and health to you

Roy Buchanan's first album is incredible too. The Messiah Will Come Again, awesome!

👏✌️

Arthur of the book...Douglas R. Hofstadter

What beautiful albums brother!! ✌️😎

Have to agree about AHM, the 'angelic' voices in the suite do it for me every time...

Walter Carlos is now Wendy Carlos if you are interested in later albums he/she hasmade.

Remember when MTV actually played music and music videos? The days...

Happy yo hace a new vídeo
