While re-listening to Bitches Brew tonight it occurred to me, there’s never been anything that sounds quite like it since, and there never will be again.
What are your favorite unicorn albums?

What are your favorite unicorn albums?
Radiohead—Amnesiac (especially the B-sides) Mr. Bungle—California ミラクルミュージカル—Hawaii: Part II (strongly related to Tally Hall, which is famous for their hit debut Marvin’s Marvelous Mechanical Museum) Brian Wilson Presents SMiLE (my preferred recording of this legendary unfinished album for its complete orchestration, but I very much get the argument that it just doesn’t sound right without the Beach Boys’ voices, so I also recommend giving the Dae Lime mix a try for its combination of original and deepfaked vocals)
Purplechick was always my favorite version of SMiLE.
Nothing is deep faked, it’s all taken from the original studio recordings.
just checked a few of its tracks out. like what i think is every other fan mix that doesn’t use the deepfakes it lacks the (missing) vocals for Look, Worms, and Dada, the latter absence of which makes the album extremely unsatisfying and confuses the contextless first-time listener who’s likely looking at this thread; see, for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkJ-jRHVIxY&t=12084s
TL;DR: It’s a great fan mix, but fan mixes with missing vocals are probably not the first-time experience you want to go for.
