/\ I have a mint original on Antilles, never actually played it ... maybe paid a quarter for it ...........
but I did see the Contortions once in NYC circa '80-'81 and that show was great fun!

Some more post-punk strangeness comes to mind we haven't covered yet:
Tuxedomoon
Yello
Yellow Magic Orchestra
Shriekback
D.A.F.
Silicon Teens
Fad Gadget
Die Krupps
KMFDM
Pere Ubu
The Fall
Young Gods
Foetus
Chrome
This Mortal Coil
Devo
Momus
Einstürzende Neubauten (who made some beautiful music later)
Japan / David Sylvian
Meat Beat Manifesto (I used to enjoy these a lot and had the very first 12"s they issued, nothing else they did was as raw and intense)
MC 900 Ft Jesus
Consolidated
Disposable Heroes of Hiphopcrasy
Legendary Pink Dots
Front 242
Early Simple Minds
Nitzer Ebb

Re: 'Weird Sounds From The Way Out' Thread
I'm on the last train from London home after two flights and a dash from Heathrow, I'll get in about three o'clock and already been up 26 hours apart from a couple of snatched hours during the unsettling, turbulent flight. With only me here in the carriage, rattling along my thoughts turned to putting up some links at last......
Intersystems - Free Psychedelic Poster Inside
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kw40B4Z8F2g
It takes a lot to befuddle Julian Cope but this did it.
David Tudor - Rainforest. Original version from 1968:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhHkM5vL6Dc
Later version:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEi6i-5-8HU
It's worth reading about how this was done, adds to the experience.
Michel Redolfi makes beautiful sub-aquatic music with glass instruments, really:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEi6i-5-8HU
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=za-GcIE8BX8
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UA_hAfdx4G4
Michael Hoenig of Tangerine Dream touring band's debut, sublime album:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCBlQaZxOc4
Giles Reaves - Wunjo
an incredible album that mixtures synths and Celtic influence without ever being cheesy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxyoxFbQPhg&list=PLEvmfBSHY7qm_I3AjlV7aQG2DwP4J-xyg
One of my favourite pieces of music ever, Edward Artemvey who soundtracked Andrei Tarkovsy's films on his custom built Russian synths here is in a piece dedicated to him. I find this a stunning, emotional piece that climaxes with a heart burst crescendo at 7:12:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsyMAOJ9na8
Ashra - Ocean of Tenderness from New Age of Earth
ignore the title, it's not some west coast hippy thing, it's classic German synth-rock merging Tangerine Dream with Pink Floyd
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiehI0NDubw
Steve Hillage - Rainbow Dome Musick:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xouYRHMx-6w
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTa5i2wlE_w
Glenn Gould - Solitude Trilogy
aurual documentary soundscapes, quite brilliant:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tsux27kMwjc&list=PLCgv34KYzfJ7KNryqMNAwZfIxZb-sgQJH
Thomas Koner:
music made with processed gongs that evoke tectonic plates shifting:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICcK6Li5OfM
Rites of Mu:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9V7ZaXejdI
The Wicker Man meets Apocalypse Now
John Adams - Christian Zeal and Activity
kind of beautiful, sad and from four minutes in unsettling....
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kTM7if14Gw
Which I envisage could be mixed in with this orchestral-breakcore mind blower from Aphex Twin:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdZs5PVcwBs
Which for some reasons seems to share something with the very different.....
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcH2iy3HO2A
(what an ending.....)
From there to an under appreciated masterpiece pop album, a conceptual narrative album that was considered a weird departure for the legendary artist:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxQhO-WzLH0&list=PLVlS_Zp5B-om1G7DUZ4M3xGchwbIHJUe8&index=10
(the train theme emerges.....)
Bleak orchestral train pop for a teenage opera unwritten:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcerjLQLjNE
Imagine how hard this was to do one a four track in the 60s
and I'll end with my favorite band on a song that seems appropriate:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tym7zDX6HGM
coda.....
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCFTHhcvRT0
as I read this back I see my mind connecting the musics, it's a sort of flow from one to the other......

Re: 'Weird Sounds From The Way Out' Thread
Great isn't it.
Always has been one of my faves by Syd and yes, I first heard it on the Harvest double pack.
I also have the nice Pair double issue too... I know what you mean by the cover action ; )

Re: 'Weird Sounds From The Way Out' Thread
US, that is a really astonishing, nay revelatory collection of music that you posted. The only problem is finding the time to listen to it, so much to explore there.
And ZJ, great stuff from Syd, you really can't go wrong, can you?
