"Our love will sail in this ark
The world could end outside our window
Let's find forever
And write our name in fire on each other's hearts"

This is supposed to be a concept album telling the story of a messianic android, but I don't pay any attention to the so-called "story" -- it's all about the music for me. It's impossible to pick a single representative song from this album. She spans more genres and styles on a single album than anyone since Queen or (dare I say?) the Beatles!

I wasn’t expecting today’s selection to be an Afrofuturist concept album inspired by Fritz Lang’s Metropolis, but it turns out that it was exactly what I needed this morning. It’s gloriously textured and complex and I’m already listening for the second time. I’m also a sucker for any album that has an orchestral overture! My highlight is the psychedelic Mushrooms & Roses which explores the unexpected subject of robot sex. Droidtastic!
