The essays of this collection certainly weren’t created in a vacuum. A significant source of the inspiration has been the music that has served as a soundtrack. Just as I have done previously with the books that have been sources for this material, I will collect here a selection of those albums which have been a significant source of inspirations (as an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases). Presented here in chronological order of appearance. If one were so inclined you could perhaps use this list as an index to browse the linked essays based on musical mood. Again this will only be a selection, for a more comprehensive source you can also checkout the Spotify playlist which last I checked is free of charge pretty cool (note that vinyl is Lindy though). Cheers.
