Glenn Branca solo back in '78

gotta be sun ra, that stuff is pretty much unlistenable and i don't say that very often

 

Varèse's Poeme Electronique

 

Dolphin Sonar by Merzbow is pretty far out there. Listening to it right now actually

 

I just got that as well

 

Maryanne Amacher, like Dense Boogie and other ones, it makes your ears resonate to produce tones, inside your head.

 

Nihilist Spasm Band

Whitehouse - Wriggle Like a Fucking Eel

 

I don't know if Ornette Coleman has been mentioned yet, but he started it all!
Check out Sound Grammar!

Then there's this band called The Thing! (from Norway i believe, check them out!)

 

haha yea Aumgn is fucking classic.
I'd have to go with the album Bioentropic Damage Fractal by Infidel?/Castro!

Prurient, Lou Reed's "Metal Machine Music", some Eno stuff, I can go on and on, but I won't, oh no I won't!

 

TANGERINE DREAM's "Electronic Meditation" album [their first ?].

THE WHITE NOISE - "An Electronic Storm" album has a couple of tracks that might qualify - "The Visitations", about a traffic accident ghost coming back, and "The Black Mass: An Electronic Storm In Hell".

 

I'd also put Lou reed's Metal Machine Music high on my list, as well as various Zoogs Rift records, Bern Nix's "solo" album, and maybe even George Harrison's Wonderwall (though it's been years since I've heard that record all the way through; the film was playing on the television a few months ago, though, and the soundtrack was pretty weird). I also recall some of Psychick TV's stuff being fairly bizarre, as well.

Then, of course, there is Frankenstein Sound Lab: Brilliantly weird stuff, says I!

 

Verde's Vuoronumero is a bit out there. VERY strange.

 

I dont know...you do an album based around the apocalyptic predictions of St. Malachy, followed by one about a man who thinks he's haunted by a giant evil moth... and everybody thinks its weird.

 

most of the songs from chinese democracy

 

This thread needs UPLOADS and shit. In fact, I'm going to upload Vuoronumero and hope I start a trend.
