a tale of two decades - from music with love...

I think I've managed to narrow down my "favorite CDs" to two. There's lots of CDs I like, some of which i love (maybe), but these are the two that could last forever...they are polar opposites in terms of focus

HIDDEN IN PLAIN VIEW - RESOLUTION (2007)
Released on an independent record label (Drive-Thru), it's a straight-forward, clear-headed, intense and serious-minded work of art.

MARILYN MANSON - ANTICHRIST SUPERSTAR (1996)
Released under Uni Distribution (a mega-million dollar conglomerate), it's a somewhat (?) experimental, somewhat (?) tongue-in-cheek, slightly serious, intense work of art (?).

Both of these CDs leave me breathless and amazed if I don't overdo listening to them.
