If you have the time, please recommend a couple of albums that are so internally cohesive as to be undeniable. Any genre, just stuff that somehow manages to feel like a universe rather than a moon.
Lately, I'd say:
"The Assassination of Julius Caesar" by Ulver. Strangely evocative; like one song that got out of control.
"Confidently Lost" by Sabrina Claudio. Whoever programmed/played the drums on that is a tasteful wizard. Goddess-level vocals.
Recommend albums that feel "holistic" in their impact

The Songs of Distant Earth - Mike Oldfield
A soundtrack to the Arthur C. Clarke book of the same title, and with the stamp of approval from the man himself.

I listened to the Olias of Sunhillow album this morning; cool record. The 70s prog scene really had an identifiable sound, but Anderson's voice is its own thing, too.

I can think of 3: ELO - Eldorado, ELO - Out of the Blue and Donna Summer - Once Upon A Time.
