I am very interested in Miriodor. Everything I hear from them sounds kind of awesome but I know all of their albums sound extremely different. Is there one where their music is particularly complex or overthought? I don't know where to start with their music.

It's one of those bands where their discography feels almost daunting to me because I don't know where to go. I love 5uus, Present, Ahvak, and the other types of modern strange Rock in Opposition bands. So the weirder the better.

Basically, where should I start?

Check out Far Corner, Nebelnest, Zaar, Guapo, Aranis, Univers Zero, Rational Diet, Five Storey Ensemble, Sotos, Inner Ear Brigade, and Atomic Ape, Dun, Magma, Shub Niggurath, Jannick Top, and Universal Totem Orchestra if you like weird music.

Hmm...tough call. I'd say Avanti probably fits your first query best.

As for where to start, I can only recommend my favorites:

Elastic Juggling
3rd Warning
Parade

I'd start with Avanti! And then Elastic Jugglers and Parade. There's a huge list of modern avant bands, I'll come back later, the list above is great.

I second Avanti!'s suggestion. In my humble opinion, it is one of the masterpieces of the past 10 years or so, and they are pure perfection on stage. By all means check them out, and also the other bands suggested by the previous posters. Cuneiform Records and AltrOck (as well as Soleil Zeuhl) are currently the best labels for anything RIO/Avant, but there is also a lot of stuff that's independently released.

Still don't have Avanti, but I am very happy with Jongleries Élastiques and Mekano.
