Is your boss by any chance the guy from Faust?  But wow, looks like tricky business, I'll tell you that.

Why not just pull the door off the hinges and put it on sawhorses and use a skillsaw. I am pretty sure you meant you use that saw to undercut door jambs and door casings.

Tim Buckley changing from an all American folk singer to putting out Lorca and Starsailor and following it up with the sex funk efforts of Greetings from L.A. and Sefronia. Adventuresome career I think.

^ I tell ya....
There Should be a MAGMA hotline number where the slogan is "looking for a good time and are willing to experiment call 1888-MAGMA. " lol. I'd say magma's KA is quite out there and sound wise alone, it's an adventure.
Mahavishnu's BIRDS OF FIRE would be a nice fit here as well.
It's off the charts!!

Quite interesting how many of the albums that have been listed are ones that I have tried listening to once or twice had the WTF reaction and had no interest in wanting to listen to them again, whereas many of you fall in love with these. I am currently just finishing off my first listen to the third Sleepytime Gorilla Museum album, after listening to the second one for the first time yesterday. Good stuff musically but as with many of the albums listed, I could do without the harsh vocals. Mostly the same reaction I have to many of the above listed albums.

This debut of theirs is among the most ground-breaking rock albums ever made imo. Conversely, I don't think it's anywhere near as good as what came after. Faust Tapes, So Far and IV are far better records.

Good pick, Faust pretty much define adventurous, I'm looking forward to seeing them at RIO in Sept.

I'm gonna pretend I didn't hear that Wow - colour me jealous! If there's one old school experimental band I'd like to see in the flesh, it'd be Faust for sure. I mean who wouldn't want to experience this firsthand?: |
Wow, lucky you! Should be an experience, to say the least. What's he got there anyways? A saw? That is so kraut, it hurts.

Yeah, I was going to mention the Faust debut, beat me to it!
 That album is just f**ked. Honestly, might be the weirdest listen I've ever had straight up. Certainly the most abstract album of the 70's, at least from what I've heard.

What a bummer Steve I've tried this a couple of times before - one of them being when Pink Floyd played in Copenhagen anno 1992. I was ready to buy tickets and all that, but my parents turned my 10 year old self down So many gigs I wished I could've seen. Some of em I missed simply because progressive music in Denmark is something you advertise in a silent way. Small stickers and flyers glued underneath the table, tiny promoters that promote in all the wrong places - like the bottom of a lake or has been gravel factories...
In keeping with this thread though - I did manage to catch Fantomas at Roskilde a couple of years back. What a complete mindf*ck that was!!! Their drummer was ill or something, so they'd hired some guy with a huge curly microphone due. He actually played the whole gig with note sheets flapping wildly about him. T'was the only way he was able to hang on What a show it was! There were at least two other people there who enjoyed it like I did(but maybe that was down to what we'd been doing up until the show...) We had a wonderful time, and the more weird and bizarre the music grew, the merrier we got. Great dancing music too!

Man you guys have listed some really amazing albums here. I think Prog in general is adventerous music. It's cool that there really are no rules when it comes to this music. Bitches Brew and the Mwandishi albums fit the bill i'd say. Soft Machine, Frank Zappa, Roxy Music, Plat Du Jour and on and on.

True. "Nature Unveiled" is pretty spooky as well.Probably the scariest album in that vein that I've heard, though, is "Homotopy to Marie" by Nurse With Wound. I haven't been able to listen to it a second time. |
I haven't heard that one, but the way you've described it (homotopy for Marie) I don't think I should!! |
Your mileage may vary. I'm mainly scared by the unexpectedness of certain noises more than the noises themselves. The NWW album will have 5 minutes of near silence followed by a loud growl, followed by more silence, followed by some silverware moving around, interrupted by a sudden scream, that kind of thing. It's unnerving, I say. |
The album sounds like it should not be played at high volumes or you are just asking for a heart attack. Lol.
It's clever art for sure though. You just have to be in the mood for it...really in the mood. ;)
