I am looking for a CD that is very strange and exciting at the same time.Weird music,sound effects,good sound quality etc.Anyone know where Im coming from?
almost everything from Can. If you like creepy dub stuff check out Scorn repetitive but very creepy. Early Delerium stuff is also dark and creepy that will test your system.
California guitar trio : Threnody for souls in torments
Carcass: symphonies of sickness
Deicide: Satan spawn, the caco-daemon
Pungent stench: klyster boogie (and just about any album made by them. pretty freaky stuff out there. be warned: hide the wife and your children before you play this stuff!!!)
I got more stuff but this is a good start to freak anyone out.
Here's another: Threnody to the Victims of Hiroshima by Krzysztof Penderecki. The 1994 recording with the Polish Radio National Symphony Orchestra is the best interpretation I've heard yet.
One of the most chilling pieces of music ever composed IMO.
Sun Ra's live "Concert for the comet Kohoutek" from the 1970s will shake your socks off if you can ignore the mediocre sound quality. The "Journey through the outer darkness" is the most spaced-out, totally free yet precisely executed synthesizer solo I ever heard; and the way he sets his electronic organ on fire in "Unknown Kohoutek" (a version of his song "love in outer space") must be heard to be believed. Mr. Ra knew exactly what he wanted to achieve. With comparatively simple effects gear he arrived at unique creations. He was just a great musician. One grade less over-the-top (in my opinion), and less threateningly energetic, is the recent two-CD re-release of Sun Ra's "Disco 3000". Fasten your safety-belt.
Flaming Lips "Embryonic" Massive Attack "Heligoland" The Mars Volta "Amputecture" "The B52s" Determine "Rock The World" Van Der Graaf Generator "Pawn Hearts"
Check out Streamer by Nils Petter Molvear. He is a disciple of Miles Davis and is probably the most famous avant garde jazz musicians in Europe. This is a live recording with great sonics. Turn out the lights turn up your system and be prepared to be blown away.
Qdrone - great recommendation on the Molvaer. Just listened to his Streamer on Spotify. Reminds me of Jon Hassel but with a heavier rhythm track. Good stuff. Thanks.
Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti. Just amazing and also very strange. Also, any music by the electronic artist Shackleton. It is unnerving and amazing electronic music that exists in it's own sonic world.
Six Degrees 100, from Six Degrees Records. Some years back I purchased a cd online and was sent a free Six Degrees sampler along with it. Ended up getting on their website and bought 5 more. Lots of different textures, excellent recordings.
Hmmm... I had Koalas eating Apples in Denmark, So I guess that's a near miss...
In terms of strange vinyl, may I suggest:
Hogan's Heroes Sing the Best of World War II.
Larry Hovis singing "Lily Marlene" is, by itself, worth the price of admission.
Alternatively, there's a video of Paul Anka singing "smells like teen spirit" that is so horrible that it allegedly violates the 1956 revised Geneva Conventions with respect to "the torture of civilians and other non-combatants." According to Dick Cheney, even by his standards, it's pretty frightening stuff...
