Two periods of Picasso's paintings?

Analytical? Listening position?

 

[Propheticus]

8 track vs LP? Or CD vs tape? Or hi res streaming vs CD.... Etc.

and BTW don't restrict yourselves to audio equipment - maybe it is espresso machines, or different starry dynamos in the machinery of night??

Oh you can't have a detail king unless it is also a space master.

I was thinking more along the lines of a space cadet, but YMMV.
