Lula Cortes & Ze Ramalho - Paebiru

i think several of Detroit techno albums can count as concept albums, by folks like Carl Craig, Jeff Mills or Drexciya.

i have had a place in my collection for this ever since my dad told me about his college roommates tripping to it:


but yeah, It's Only Right and Natural, the pinnacle of high-concept, low-brow (apologies to Dan Brown)

Kinks - Preservation Act I
jam - Setting Sons
Aphrodite's Child - 666
Beatles - Sgt. Pepper
Seeds - Future. Not sure exactly what the concept is, but its there. Somewhere.
The Who Sell Out

wow, lots of records i don't know been mentioned here, quite some ground covered already.

there seems to be much concept in music...why isn't there any in my life?

Before you build a concept, you need a vision.

Voivod - "Nothingface"

I'm sure I'm being predictable by saying this but it's my favorite album and it IS a concept album... actually the culmination of an arc of concept albums.
