I was listening again to Maxwell's Embrya today, which really sounds amazing on my new amp and speakerset, but is also just a really amazing album. I don't think that I would be able to find anyone among my friends who wouldn't respond with 'What by Who?' ... He had a small hit here with one of the tracks (Luxury Cococure) but that's about it.
However, it is definitely one of those albums on which every song is about as good as the next. You can listen to it from start to finish and you'll never favour one particular track or dislike another.
This particular album falls into the category 'Romantic Soul' . It uses modern instruments and a very deep bass (it will test both ends of your setup's soundspectrum in fact).
Another album that has this quality (i.e. great from start to finish) is Faithless' Sunday 8 p.m.
I can and probably will think of a few more examples, but do any of you know similar examples? Would be great to hear - albums like these are sometimes immensely overlooked.
