Day 28:  #mayvinylchallenge :  Strange Play!  Shaped | Hidden Tracks, Etc. There is always one where you can't fulfill it correctly. I have very little uniquely shaped records, and I have already shown off the AIR "Sexy Boy" Monkey Vinyl TOO many times.  And if I have a record with hidden tracks...I don't know it yet (oftentimes, I've bought more than I've had time to listen to...) However...strange is strange...and it is in the the eye of the beholder.  So to me, the record is only strange in the sense of it's premise and purpose overall.  So not strange...beautifully unique. 🔺️ Suzanne Ciani - Xenon [2021] Released in 1980, Xenon is a now-classic pinball machine game.  Revolutionary for its time, the Greg Kmiec-created machine featured the musical talents of pianist/synthesist/composer Suzanne Ciani.  With microchip expansion being realized by this time, the ability to add more complex waveforms and samples were available.   Ciani used this to her and the game's advantage, utilizing the Synclavier sampling synthesizer and her voice box device to create a split-apart soundtrack and voice direction narration, based on the bumpers and various areas of the pinball game itself. Heard for the first time outside of the pinball machine, the record shows off all of the work that Ciani did for the machine, rightfully gaining her an induction in the Pinball Expo Hall of Fame.
