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?

Future Shock by Herbie Hancock. Dude released like 25 jazz and funk albums over two decades, then in '83 just drops a hip hop bomb

Rockit

Also, Dr. John - The Night Tripper. 60s psychedelic New Orleans perfection

Oh my God that's one of the things I love about Herbie so much! He was not afraid to push himself in new musical directions. He has so many albums in his vast discography that changed the musical landscape forever.

Hell, I just listened to Headhunters before I listened to Bitches Brew, before I posted! And on that album is the seminal Watermelon Man where he incorporates hindewhu (pygmy music).

I would encourage anyone to listen to any Herbie album, in full, from any era. His first 6 albums are dope as hell!!

Totally almost picked Headhunters because of Watermelon Man! There's nothing like it. Herbie occupies a different plane of existence
