Circulatory System: Circulatory System (2001)

The Circulatory System is essentially The Olivia Tremor Control minus Bill Doss. This album of 22 tracks flows like one long song. The production is impossible to fathom, so original and creative. I've heard this album be called the greatest album of all time, and although that may be slightly overshooting it, I at often times consider it to be a possibility. It's poppy, conceptual, philosophical, comforting, beautiful, textured, and so psychedelic. For me "Lovely Universe" tells the story all of us acid thinkers long to tell to perfection. These guys dig the cosmic reality and know that "we're only made of water, sand, and stone, we're made of joy and make belief, we're only made of sky, and it's true." You will for sure get lost in this album and enjoy every second of it. Pure psychedelic bliss.
