The debut, self-titled album of the group Bad Brains. Released originally solely on cassette tape. This album is widely regarded as one of the best punk albums ever made. Additionally, despite Bad Brains' DC roots, this album heavily influenced New York City’s hardcore scene in the mid-late ‘80s.
The album focuses on paranormal concepts and the occult. Additionally, it serves as a love letter to the 80s, both by way of emulating its aesthetics and by navigating the economic insecurities (“Reaganomics”, “I Earn My Life”) and technological advancements (“Cabinet Man”) of the decade.
Let My Children Hear Music is a unique feather in Mingus' musical cap. It is an album full of Mingus' characteristic spontaneity, but in a way that is more organized and almost classical in nature. Mingus has regarded it as the “best album [he] ever made”.
The album shares the name of J.G. Ballard’s 1970 novel and Joy Division’s 1980 track. Both were quite controversial following their release with references to a Third World War and JFK’s assassination in the novel, and the lead singer of Joy Division, Ian Curtis, subsequently committing suicide. Danny stated that another meaning of the album is more literal. People treat usually disturbing things like his drug habits or police brutality as though they are part of a freak-show.

volume 1: flick your tongue against your teeth and describe the present.
I really thought today would be the start of something different, Twisted thoughts of how I'm living that evaporate the minutes while I masturbate my illness in an incoherent stillness. Confused if I need help or if insanity is brilliance.

I Monster's third album, released in 2009, sees the band in their usual mood - playful psychedelic electronic new wave pop. A sixteen track affair: from the yearning but not-so-innocent-pop bop of 'A Sucker For Your Sound', through the dark twilight psych-dub of 'She's Giving Me The I', to the end of a lifetime sci-fi psychedelic bounce of 'A Pod Is Waiting'.
Full of bright, brash, and loud orchestral scores and witty lyrics, Aim and Ignite was a different sort of pop when it debuted in 2009, and in hindsight perhaps heralded the rise of indie pop as a more mainstream genre in the early 2010s. Lyrically following the troubles associated with being in your early twenties, the album largely deals with things like relationships, or leaving home for the first time – and sometimes more often than not served with a small side of existential crises.

Mingus' Black Saint and the Sinner Lady is considered a cult classic among jazz critics and the pinnacle of its genre, a worthy competitor to albums such as Bitches Brew and A Love Supreme. The album is frequently regarded to as one of the greatest albums of all time.
Clipping’s third album for Sub Pop, There Existed an Addiction to Blood, finds them interpreting another rap splinter sect through their singular lens. This is clipping’s transmutation of horrorcore, a purposefully absurdist and creatively significant sub-genre that flourished in the mid-90s.
