I always have a hard time determining what's accessible and what's just not since I'm so desensitized to jarringly strange music. I mean obviously I know not to play, like, Coil or Basinski's Disintegration Loops at a party. (unless said "party" is actually a Gnostic ritual inside of a cave) But I'm often surprised by what's considered avant-garde on sites like Lastfm.

Let's see... Maybe The Books? Ensemble Economique? Dirty Beaches? Maybe even Moondog?

And also artists like Bill Laswell and Hector Zazou (since their discographies are so varied and enormous)
