Pet Shop Boys Community

Let's each name one album (or more) that is not only probably one of your favorites, but that is transcendent, that leaves the everyday life-world and becomes something deeply meaningful to you. I love Domino Dancing like no other, but it's not exactly "transcendent" if you get my drift.

Thomas Dolby - The Flat Earth (his masterwork, his "Behavior" that only took him one year after his "Science" success to pen)

By "transcendent", all i can think of are Enigma albums. The ones with Sadeness, and Return to Innocence.

I don't think Enigma ever really sounded like Sade

Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd

Erlend Øye - Unrest

Hey, Petrunko! by Ooberman
Ghost by Devin Townsend Project
And The Glass Handed Kites by Mew

Homogenic by Björk.

The single was actually entitled "Sadeness part 1". Only for the UK release did they change it to "Sadness part 1".

Sinister But Fragile - BlueSwan

Five quickly whittled down non-PSB choices for me:
Karma, by Delerium
Chorus, by Erasure
1 Giant Leap, by 1 Giant Leap
The Understanding, by Röyksopp
The Skywatchers Handbook, by Skywatchers *

* which is utterly the best album of the last five years, bar none
