The production is very rough I agree. The guitars almost sound scooped.

This list reminds me how Darkness Descends is weirdly ignored on the internet. In real life, it's hard to find someone that doesn't love that album, but on the internet, DD is greatly overshadowed by other albums like Spectrum of Death. I think that's because DD itself was overshadowed in its day by the other great '86 thrash releases and that's just continued to this day.

Stream of Consciousness music is essential. I've never studied them but have completely absorbed them. I know it comes out in tiny little ways when I'm totally going off.

You've heard way less than 0.25% of the music I've played/made over the last
4+ decades.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prepared_piano

It's when you alter the piano's sound by adding stuff to the strings. John Cale did it in the VU in All Tomorrow's Parties and Briano Eno did it on Music for Airports (and possibly more). In Queens of Shiva, we used cymbals, pens, and paperclips on the grand piano's strings to give it a percussive sound.

Both of those albums blatantly rip Coltrane off to the max.
