"I have heard what the Parliament call Mothership Connection. It arrived - no, descended - on vinyl, hand-delivered by a junior physicist with curious sideburns and a portable turntable. They said it was “interdisciplinary morale material.” I expected noise. What I received was revelation. The record spun, and I was unmade." - J. Robert Oppenheimer American theoretical physicist
