Freak Me Out

A cd from DHM label called ' Mythomania- songs of witches, fairies and ghosts'. A great find in terms of being different classical and at the same time EXCELLENT recording. If you are in to classical you will love this CD. Singing is what will freak you out.( and not because it is in GERMAN)

As far as jazz goes, the Sun Ra suggestion is a good one...so is Ornette Coleman, and some of John Coletrane's later stuff...especially "Ascension".

Captain Beefheart and Johnny Dowd are both good suggestions, though you may never get used to Johnny Dowd's voice. For a real freak show, check out The Shaggs. Todd Rundgren's "A Wizard A True Star" is a goodun', but not necessarily a great recording (recorded in 72 with lots of tracks). Neutral Milk Hotel and Giant Sand are also worth checking out. NMH is a bit lo-fi, but the last Giant Sand album ("Chore of Enchantment")is really recorded pretty well. Beck's "Mutations" is interesting, but mellow. The Flaming Lips' "The Soft Bulletin" is pretty impressive. The Beastie Boys' "Paul's Boutique" is a psychedelic rap classic (not a lot of competition there). If you think you'd like an odd Beatle-ish/Rundgren/Neil Young influenced band (with a singer that doesn't sound like any of them), you might want to check out The Loud Family "Plants and Birds and Rocks and Things", "Interbabe Concern", "Days For Days", or "Attractive Nuissance".

That's all I can think of for now. Some of them are good recordings, but the true eccentrics don't often get handed a big budget.

'The dropper' by martin medeski and wood, will freak you out for sure. And it has that strange addictive element to it, that would make it worthwhile.

This is not the music but a puzzle, that will freak you out. Probably not the right forum but let's try anyway

My system is a multichannel/2 channel set of a Bryston amp, and precessor, 9b-sp1, a HD Toshiba-A1 DVD player with a HDMI cable ,Concierto baby grand pc.I have a 42 inch panasonic widesceen pluged into a monster 5k power conditioner,hddvr system that rest on a beautiful black /metal, and glass Bello tv stand.For the music I have a audio Magic box conditioner,Metronome cd player with gold pin 6922 Telefunken tubes,into a Bat 31se super tube six pac preamp. I have a set of 5.1 Sonus faber grand Piano,solo,conserto surrounds, with a 1000 watt Boston Acoustic sub. I have Mit Oracle v2.1 interconnect on the amp for two fronts with Oracle ac1 pc's on the amp - sub. Nervana didital pc,Concierto violin interconnects on the cd player , violin interconnect,and violin pc on the preamp. I plane to use Concierto on the whole music section for words may not tell these cables true story. The the audio stand I chose a Billy Bags black metal with red mohogany shelves providing the focus, detailed bass weight,great ventilation, and the kind of audio eye candy that makes this hobby so irrestible. While my movies sound fantastic, the ultimate goal is for me to take limited funds and produce a multi/2channel system that whould slam from both sides of the fence. The music at this point must produce a liquid nature ,with a midrange that motivates smooth vocals from male,and female singers,tight bass with slam, dynamics,and highs that are'nt harsh.
