WDR 3 radio in Köln would play works created by various tape loops, that were super imposed and interwoven with original compositions. I loved these pieces and am unsure whether or not they were all constructed by the same person/s. It's unlikely but if anyone else knows about these works, I'd greatly appreciate some info. The most original performance experience I ever had was seeing Moritz Eggert play a film score ( piano, cap gun, etc...) while showing a German Noir Silent film. |

Scraping Foetus Off the Wheel: "Clothes Hoist" From "Hole" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvAKJgsWVM4 |
Scraping Foetus Off the Wheel: "Enter the Exterminator". The out-of-nowhere heavy metal riff off the Peer Gynt Suite by Edvard Grieg is a trip. One of the best from-high-to-low art syntheses you will ever hear. From the album "Nail". AllMusic called it "possibly the best Foetus album [...] the sheer range of this music is hard to believe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7_wJYvMB60 |
"Cantata de puentes amarillos" written by an Argentinian band, that a friend told me about, called Almendra. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTksi_VXGCk |
Depends on how you define “unique”….. If you consider any bottom-feeder releases, you may get “disgustingly evil” offerings and you now get the infamous Arthur Brown with “Fire”. I hated it from the time it first was released. It is with some trepidation that I even highlight it now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=en1uwIzI3SE If you consider “weird” to a point where one wonders if - in a perfect world - the artist and performance could be somehow removed from the gene pool , you can get Tiny Tim and “tiptoe Through the Tulips” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcSlcNfThUA Yup …. They do walk among us ….. At the other end of the audio spectrum, if you consider “unique” in the context of “virtuosos” you get Les Paul and Chet Atkins as “Chester and Lester” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MApWl20oCh0 |
Wow, not one but TWO mentions of Birthday, must say that I screamed the very same when saw the thread title. Hmm, maybe almost as unique as that (now that surely must be an oxymoron!), in second place, silver medal, runner-up... All Tomorrow’s Parties The vocal is odd, the organ timing is most odd, the guitar is odd and the drum is just, well, odd. And I love it so dearly for all of those reasons. |
Unique can be taken in multiple ways. Thinking through my albums I think one of the most unique songs is Ning Feng’s The Last Rose of Summer on his Solo album. It’s a mind-blowing difficult solo piece that I also find to be almost "easy listening" which often isn’t the case for music that is so technical. One of my absolute favorite classical pieces is Liszt: Schwanengesang, S560 - Serenade that I have on a Vladimir Horowitz DG recording. When this song plays it catches my attention and I often start it over multiple times before moving on. My first thought reading this thread was Pachelbel's Cannon... |
+1 to those mentioning Captain Beefheart, specifically Trout Mask Replica. The Blimp is another great one from that album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpA4XpnnI_U |
Captain Beefheart needs to be on this list, I'll go with ;Old Fart at Play; from Trout Mask: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHjOuS-rABU |
