Freak Me Out

You want weird, here ya go. I love Electronic Music!

Try these:

1) Anything from Synergy aka: Larry Fast
2) LOGOS or UNDERWATER SUNLIGHT from Tangerine Dream
3) Anything by Kraftwerk
4) Peter Gabriel Security

All of the above should give your head and speakers a real workout.

Diamonda Galas! I can't listen to her when I'm in the house alone. If she doesn't freak you out you're froked.

Give "Dark Side of the Moon" by Pink Floyd a try. It's been a top selling album for over 25 years now. Amazing album.

I'm not sure these are freaky, but they're certainly exotic and VERY well recorded. Try Warren Smith's "Cats Are Stealing My $hit", Asante's "Ohene Kesee A Ebin" or "Bluiett's Barbeque Band" by Hamiet Bluiett. There's a lot more info and sound bytes on our website.

You might also track down anything by Foetus. I used to have the albums "Nail" and "Hole". It's a very odd mixture of sound effects (a chair dragging across a concrete floor, fingernails on a chalkboard, etc.) with a industrial-sounding drum machine and occational vocals.

I also heard a band recently called the Tards. I'm told the group is an revolving collective of musicians playing very rhythmic bluesy, industrial-rock-punk while pretending to be mentally-challenged. It's definitely weird and potentially offensive. They have a couple of releases available on Sympathy for the Record Industry records.

Has anyone mentioned John Zorn's "Spillane"? If so, I second the motion... if not, thoroughly recommended.
BTW, I confess to improper laziness; am making a hard copy of the posts to read later at leisure.
THANKS everyone!!
