Isn't prog rock experimental anyways? The suggestions are perfect but I would ask experimental based on what other alternative?
Holy krapp...I may have just typed a moshkito post....LOL

Something else you might be interested in is one I reviewed a few days ago, the band name is Botch and the album "An Anthology of Dead Ends" has that brutal loudness that you hear in some Kayo Dot and Maudlin albums, except maybe a little more prehistoric sounding.
Also, have you tried "Tartar Lamb"? That is one of Toby Driver's projects.

Caution Radiation Area by Area and Sulle Corde di Aires by Franco Battiato are mind-boggling stuff from Italy in the seventies; Battiato has pretty crazy other material around that period; and Area has some more that is worth checking out too.

May I suggest some works from the latest years.
Poil - Brossaklit and Bubblemath - Edit Peptide have some of the most creative tracks I've seen from this decade. As an IDM fan I shall suggest Igorrr - Hallelujah and Squarepusher - Hard Normal Daddy aswell. And since I came across Brossaklit from this thread why not suggest Guerilla Toss' homonymous album, which is weird as f**k and I still need to relisten to. Edit: Had a listen to Charles Lloyd and remembered of Medeski, Martin and Wood. Friday Afternoon in the Universe was a great album of theirs

One that hasnīt mentioned here yet, not commonly conneceted to prog, but really great and if you like Captain Beefheart, itīs must, is the Red Krayola. You can start for example albums "Soldier-Talk" & "Black Snakes".

Thanks everyone who responded, wow! Found a lot of interesting music. Though i am already a Tool and Talk Talk fan, those bands are great recommendations. I must say, i discovered Thinking Plague and that has been my greatest success so far. Highly recommended, if anyone knows anything similar to that, shoot!

It cannot be stressed enough that all Art Zoyd albums are great and some of the most experimental stuff is actually on later ones such as Metropolis and Champ des Larmes; they steered into contemporary experimental avantgarde more and more often with growing maturity. Otherwise my avatar-giving hero Holger Czukay (ex-Can) did some spectacular stuff on his solo albums although this is quite different from the things you have mentioned with much sampling and (re)mixing; try, e.g., Canaxis, Movies, Good Morning Story, Clash, Linear City, New Millenium. Another groundbreaking album regarding the use of samples is Eno and Byrne's "My Life in the Bush of Ghosts". Not sure how much you are into meditative electronic but Tangerine Dream's Zeit is a timeless classic and some of their early work is pretty experimental. Some more experimental non prog-mainstream things come from This Heat/Charles Hayward, Throbbing Gristle, Zoviet France. Fred Frith (ex-Henry Cow) has a number of solo albums worth checking; Helter Skelter and Steps Across the Border are awesome. David Sylvian (ex-Japan) has also moved more and more in an experimental direction in later years. |

And because some "weird" stuff is mentioned, I just want to recommend Comus that has been my great pleasure about 1,5 years now,

Try Charles Lloyd's "Wild Man Dance" for some very experimental, free jazz. I took me a while to dig into it, but once I did, it took my mind for a wild spin.

Just go to avant/rio on here and you'll find a whole bunch of stuff including stuff by the residents, swans etc and although they are considered krautrock check out some early Can stuff.

That's a wide range of stuff. First things that come to mind are Talk Talk's last two albums, Spirit of Eden and especially Laughing Stock. They have the chamber music elements that Part the Second has, the repetition of Swans, and a unique atmosphere.
I'd say check out Avant-prog in general. Henry Cow and Universe Zero have some of the chamber music elements that appear in some of the examples you gave. As for Swans, their current sound is influenced by post-rock, krautrock, as well as the guitar totalism of Glenn Branca and Rhys Chatham, who are not necessarily prog, but bridge the gap between classical and rock in a very different way. As far as krautrock goes, Can and Neu! are the relevant ones. For post-rock, Godspeed You! Black Emperor seems like the main one. I would check out the last two Stern records and Extra Life's Secular Works as well. |

Have you heard of Tool and their album Laterilus.
I will also reccomend the band Major Parkinson and their album Blackbox Also Devil Dolls is worth a mention. |

Try "Art Zoyd", especially their first 4 albums, for a more classical approach. If you like the louder experimental music that is more metal based then try "Sleepytime Gorilla Museum". You mentioned "Swans", so you might like "Angels of Light" which is another band headed by Michael Gira, more along the lines of folk, but he really stretches the boundaries of Prog Folk. If you like the drone/electronica experimental music, then try Bass Communion which is Steven Wilson's project.

Circle members are big krautrock-fans and they call their music also krautrock. So if you like them, I recommend you to check out Can & Faust, two of the greatest krautrock bands. Cans Future Days may be great starter, Faust IV from Faust. And Faust is REALLY experimental!

My favourite is Miljard, But its their most ambient-album. Pori might be good starter.
