I love this idea, mahgister, thanks for the cool topic. In the late ‘60s, a group of young men in Cologne, Germany from musical backgrounds entailing work as conductor for Vienna Symphony, tutelage of Karlheinz Stockhausen, modern avant-garde collaborations with Steve Reich, La Monte Young, Terry Riley and Manfred Schoof, but a nascent excitement and inspiration from the work of James Brown, the Velvet Underground, and Sly and the Family Stone, formed a band called Can. Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band. The album Lumpy Gravy by Frank Zappa has music that sounds something like the Hawaii Five-0 theme, bizarre (often hilarious - ‘I HEAR YOU’VE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH PIGS AND PONIES!!’ ‘mErRY gO rOuNd, mErRY gO rOuNd, do-doo-doo-doo-Doo…doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo…and they call that ‘going your thing’…oh, yeah? THAT’s what ‘doing your thing’ is…’) spoken word, violent tape editing, lush and gorgeous orchestral music, music that sounds like Danny Elfman, music that sounds like a warped, twisted Dixieland Jazz, musique concrète, and profusions of completely uncategorizable music and sound.
