dont tell him what to do

are you implying that i am not in fact the supreme chancellor of this forum?

[bleep_bloop]

no mr supreme chancelor sir your exellency

[perriwinkle]

it's CHANCELLOR, and EXCELLENCY


that's two butt bananas

i expect to see you in my chambers this evening

[sr800bkBassist]

this band called Radiohead. check them out.

[Zmev]

Z'ev - Heads and Tales

[The End of The World]

Popol Vuh.

[Happymeal]

Boredoms - Vision Creation Newsun and Pop Tatari

and yeah definitely John Zorn.

[AlienEater]

Any Boredoms album, what Zebra said, and some other stuff.

Some stuff perriwinkle mentioned is awesome too

[Iai]

Gyorgy Ligeti - Lux Aeterna, Ramifications
Krysystof Penderecki - Threnody For The Victims of Hiroshima, Fonogrammi
Ryoji Ikeda - Headphonics, +/-
Iannis Xenakis - Metastasis
Diamanda Galas - Plague Mass (album)
Karlheinz Stockhausen - Gesang Der Junglinge, Kontakte
Trevor Wishart - Voiceprints, Tongues Of Fire
The Residents - The Third Reich & Roll (album)

Be careful with Steve Reich, most of his work sucks to high heaven. I'd honestly say it's more worth checking out Reich Remixed first.

And I'd love to be able to confidently recommend some John Cage, but I'm not familiar with enough of his work. Check him out at some point, though.

Oh yeah, and Glenn Branca - "Ascension". That's the song, not the album. The rest of the album is okay, but this track is awesome.

[pixiesfanyo]

Ahleuchatistas - What You Will
Scorch Trio - Luggumt
Yowie - Cryptooology


All mathy rock ****.

[Mild_child]

:lol:
ha you guys are great!
Thanks for all the recommendations!

[_Mote_]

Sonic Youth, some stuff is easier then othersm but I'd go with Daydream Nation.

I swear to ****ing god you wont regret it.

[TheMisterBungle]

Mr. Bungle's California album is excellent also.

[Kayetan]

Bark Psychosis- Codename: Dustsucker
Animal Collective- Feels
Rachel's- Systems/Layers

I don't know what expirimental means, but here are these.

[SotR]

Gastr Del Sol - Camofleur

This album is about as essential as experimental pop music gets.

[AlienEater]

I want some Gastr del Sol

[Zappa]

I was disappointed by Gastr del Sol.

[Electrocution]

Slint. Spiderland is everyone's favorite, I'd consider Tweez to be more experimental, but definitely not as good. Their s/t EP is the most experimental, and sounds like was Tweez wanted to be...it destroys.

...and Hella, I really dig their double album Church Gone Wild/Chirpin' Hard. Big Black is good too...really noisy.

and of course Lightning Bolt.

[Tangy zizzle]

The Dead C
Jakob

[AlienEater]

The Dead C have some great albums.

[mick7]

I'm looking for something new and interesting to listen and was wondering what experimental artists you know?

[Electrocution]

it sounds amaaaaaazing

[randomthought9]

That's crazy.

[CaptainWaits]

The Mae Shi - Terrorbird

[Zappa]

The Mae Shi have come up to play in the UP of Michigan a few times. I didn't know how well known they were.

[CaptainWaits]

What's the UP of Michigan?

[AlienEater]

oh and Gospel if you like the hardcore style.

Gospel are pretty awesome.

[asdf]

What's the UP of Michigan?
Upper Penninsula.

[Africa]

SImple PlAn - STill not Getting Any

They are pushing the limits of music I tell you

[Iai]

Get out.

[CaptainWaits]

Run Chico Run is another cool experimental group. It's two guys who play a bunch of instruments at once. I heard they can put on an amazing live show.

Sounds more like a novelty act but I'll take your word for it.

[Iai]

To be fair, if you're looking for experimental music you're going to run across a lot of novelty stuff.

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

experiments aren't always good.
