This is a dificult one, isn't it? But I'm sure a list of weird music posted here as examples can be a good thing for all the weird sound lovers in this forum... I'd say... Caetano Veloso's "Araçá Azul". |

It was a BBC vinyl disk of sound effects meant to represent such things as "Fear" and "Triangle" and "Blancmange" Great stuff. Incomprehensible, abstract but I laughed my socks off, so by that criteria I have to say I heard it and enjoyed it.

For me it's something so basic as Nico - The Marble Index.

Probably Mr Bungle - s/t depending if my mental health is robust enough at the time

Rhino has put out some weird stuff. Somewhere in my collection is a compilation of very weird Rhino recordings, including a homoerotic song to baseball cards, a rant by Blassey, King of Men, 'Be True to your Schule' and a few other punk-jew anthems, among others. I once had a really weird dream I was in a futuristic stadium, sitting high up on some insane bleacher, when the entire crowd bursts into the 'Baseball Card Lover' song. I woke up laughing.

Tim Buckley's "Starsailor" ...I've heard weirder in at least some senses, but maybe not enjoyed so much or not such an overall anomaly given their temporo-cultural context

The Boredoms - Pop Tatari Henry Cow - Unrest or In Praise of Learning Hans Reichel - Bonobo Hans Reichel & Eroc - Return Of Onkel Boskopp Derek Bailey & Jamie Muir - Dart Drug Throbbing Gristle - Special Treatment Henry Kaiser - Aloha Captain Beefheart - Strictly Personal Harry Partch - (name any Partch LP here) Kalrheinz Stockhausen - Hymnen Pierre Henry - Variations For a Door and a Sigh The Residents - Eskimo Giacinto Scelsi - Uaxuctum Etron Fou le Loublan - Les 3 fous Perdegagnent - Au pays des... Univers Zero - Heresie Stud Cole - S/T Iannis Xenakis - Kraanerg I have owned all of these at one time or another & still have most of them

'Third reich'n'roll' - the residents was a surprise to me and made me laugh a lot, probably quite inappropriately. 'The Cheeky Cheese' is probably my favourite of the Billy Childish and Sexton Ming collaborations and they're almost always a little odd :-) A Kathryn Tickell & the Mystical Ensemble album I can't remember the name of which isn't weird in itself but which has a track called 'Mitford' on it always catches my breath as Mitford is a village not far from where I grew up. In fact. All folk music. As someone who grew up listening to stuff that spiralled out of the holy triumvirate of Hawkwind, The Cramps and Crass the very fact of listening to folk and enjoying it is still a weird proposition. :-)

Crispin Hellion Glover The Big Problem Does Not Equal the Solution, The Solution Equals Let It Be (the lp with Clowny Clown Clown on) YVoag WAy Out DRagons Parfums DE La REvolution (very weird fake back story to this about it being the first punk band operating in Red China & the recordings being smugglked out by a French journalist. Sounds pretty CRampsy but does feature one stringed viol as a lead instrument and vocals by an obvious non English speaker attempting to replicate Get Off My Cloud & Anarchy in the UK (there's a term for this that slips my mind right now). Read a couple of years ago that this was actually a complete hoax, I really like the record though & wish somebody'd reissue it ort blog it) Eugene Mcdaniels Headless HOrsemen Of THe Apocalypse R'n'b singer hangs out with hippy types, learns not to sing and comes out with folk/funk lp that's pretty off the wall and gets sampled heavily. Grateful DEad INfrared Roses (the crowdscaping lp) & Seastones both have their moments. Einsturzende Neubauten are one of my favourite bands. Listening to early material folk, blues, jazz etc influences show though in unorthodox instrumentation. More symphonic elements creep in later too. NWW, Grateful DEad (total impro), Henry Cow, CAroliner, Butthole Surfers, Sunburned Hand Of THe Man etc etc Stevo Np Soft Boys 6/9/80 Maxwell's Hoboken I WAnna DEstroy You
