Hey Lucas, I'm glad you're digging that Yamashirogumi trackThumbs Up I'm not so sure I understand what you mean in the first part of your post thoughEmbarrassed

Anyway, let's get on with this mother!

For starters, I'd recommend another fantastic Japanese album called Yamataifu from the 70s. Avant jazz rock with loads of jaw dropping turnovers. This music morphs like no other. I've often heard this whilst working out, but I like this kind of stuff while I'm sweating:


Alan Sorrenti! The human bird as my good friend Pierre(The infamous duck) calls himLOL On his debut album, Aria, you'll hear his voice twisting and bending in the most unique way. Coupled together with the Van Damme Generatorish organ gulps, as well as monsieur Jean Luc Ponty joining in on his characteristic violin, the whole album is definitely worth checking out. Here's the first track:


Joakim Skogsberg(hopefully added to PA in the near future). His album Jola Rota is nearly indescribable. Imagine this weird forest hermit talk-humming to himself in a most bizarre way backed up by ambient violin sounds. Approach with cautionLOL:
 

Area's Maledetti is also pretty strange. Now Area were never the mainstream act to begin with, mixing fusion with circus themes and Arabian twists, but on this baby they really do sound like a bunch of lunatics:


Aluk Todolo? French black metal band deciding to play Krautrock. Very unique, and often comes across like some kind of horror flick soundtrack recorded in a dark dusty basement by people experiencing a bad acid trip:


Kräldjursanstalten. Swedish version of Captain Beefheart fuelled by enormous quantities of coffee and general loony bin mentality:


Anima-Sound's Stürmicher Himmel is also quite recommendable, if you're on the search for some Krautrock truly gone fishing. Yodeling, the sound of people falling down ladders, strange harp like guitars and swampy textures:


How about some electric frog synths eh? Lard Free's Acid Framboise:

I think you are talking about the avant movies. Well, I'm trying to use active,noisy,funny&random music in my videos, like this (posting one of my movies again):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ch1YTXWICZQ

For example, I could probably use that Lard Free track from 5:36"-6:00" in my next video. Got it?

Kräldjursanstalten is a great idea. I was already thinking of Captain Beefheart to the videos.

Easy - Scott Walker. The Drift and Bish Bosch should do it. Not prog but do you really care?

These...

Bish Bosch even has a real human farting sequence.....presumably Walker had exhausted all other possible wind instruments on previous albums.

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.

I was also going to suggest Caroliner - 19th Century singing bulls, LPs in boxes crammed with random ephemera, and dayglo everything.  Genius above and beyond everything else.

Not exactly prog, but if it's not weird enough, you need to step away from the computer and call an expert psychiatrist (or exorcist):




Should this tickle your fancy, there's more over at the Internet Archive.

"Nagah Mahdi" is by far their best album if you ask me. Start over there, then move to their first record if you want more fun Big smile


Yes, I think is impossible to get more crazy!

Japanese freak show Krautfolk experiment Brast Burn with their 1975 release Debon:


The cover art is very telling actually. This album sounds exactly like it looksLOL Welcome to the grainy soil marmalade!

Ahh what the hell. While I'm at it, I might as well mention the wonderful proto RIO madness of Komintern's Le Bal du Rat Mort. This album is incredible! Something like a French Samla Mammas Manna with baguettes flying and all.
