I'm looking for more bizarre, freak, avant music. Some of my favorite albums are Plague Soundscapes (The Locust) and Civilization Phaze III (Frank Zappa). I like this kind of stuff featuring multiple random notes and fx, bizarre and constant tempo changes. Dissonance and lot of key/organ/moog are perfect fanservice for me too. Please recc me not weird, but the weirdest stuff you know!

Oh man, you beat me to it. I was going to recommend Nurse With Wound. One of my favorite artists. Volcano the Bear is awesome too.

I assume you already know the Residents? Still one of the weirdest bands ever.

And of course ... there is Faust. Gotta know Faust.

Actually it may also be a good idea to check out the Last.fm radio stations of the artists/bands suggested on this thread to learn about other acts.

This Heat
(Very weird early 80s)


Pholas dactylus
Weird italian Prog with spoken word and weird passages and such :)

Ebu Gogo (Lucas you will love this band. I promise! I promise twenty times. I know your tastes already. I reccomend their album. "Worlds"

Sleepytime gorilla museum gets that weird

Portal (Australian blackened portal metal. Very dooming. Crazy costumes. Insanely dark and just weird. Watch live videos and see what they are playing. It literally sounds like you're getting swallowed into a portal)

Now this next band deserves to be on pa but they will never do real releases.

http://m.soundcloud.com/403_team_7
Check them out. Like weird cheesy metal that randomly gets super amazing while shifting genres. And it's freaky weird. Just listen to every song on their page and I think you'll enjoy)

This may be the strangest band I've heard - Caroliner.  (aka Caroliner Rainbow, other variations).  This is a live excerpt so the sound isn't as clear as a studio album, but the visuals should also give you an idea as to where these guys were at.



Also check out the Sun City Girls, an avant trio from Arizona.  I won't provide a sample because there's no one or two tracks that really represent them - they're all over the map from free form jazz to psych to punk to ambient to pretty straight jazz to.... you get the idea.  Plenty to browse on Youtube, and I've reviewed a few of their many albums on PA.

The rest of the album is pretty mainstream though.

Thanks for answering me. I know most of the stuff posted here, like The Residents, Fantomas, Nurse With Wound, French TV and moar, but I really found lot of great new music.

Well, I'm asking you about freak music because I'm making avant-garde movies, like this:



I already used Reagan at Bitburg (Zappa) and a lot of French TV tracks from the album Violence of The Amateurs. 
I'm working on a list of WEIRDEST music to a perfect soundtrack. So, if you just think you know a track that fits this kind of stoopid stuff, post here! Embarrassed
