I thought this was the send something someone don't normally listen to? Sure my last fm has alot of pop and hip hop but I love instrumental type stuff and my favorite guitarists are Van Halen, Jimmi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Joe Satriani and the seriously underrated Carlos Santana. My fave would have to be Eddie VH though with Jimmi right on his heels. Anyways, I loved this album thanks for it. I'm definitely keeping it.

OK, I've decided to send you something that's maybe not so obscure, but it is certainly some of the weirdest music I've heard:
Diamanda Galás - The Litanies of Satan (1982)
No, this is not black metal. There's no way to classify this, maybe like screaming opera from hell. Diamanda Galás is known for her incredible four octave range voice, and you just cannot believe what she does with it. This is her first album. The title track is based on the poem by Charles Baudelaire and the second track is for 'solo scream'. I've heard a lot of crazy music, but nothing can compare with the effect that human voice can have. So, if you like hysterical, wild women with steak knives, maybe there's a chance you're gonna 'enjoy' this. There's no middle ground with this, you either love it or hate it. It certainly needs to be heard.
Umm...enjoy? |
lol you got me. I only made it about 15 mins through the first track and I was like please don't summon the french demon to eat my soul. I couldn't take it anymore. It was pretty rough. Those vocals were definitely raping my ears and I need to file a police report.

The album was obviously pretty influential. Lucier recorded more albums which are also rather interesting but for me this is the best. Music On A Long Thin Wire experiments with what you can do with a single piece of 50 foot wire and a magnet, while Music For Solo Performer revolves around brain waves. I wasn't expecting much when I downloaded this, but I was shocked. This is what Avant Garde music should be like challenging, interesing and completely original.
At first it's just a normal recording, Mr. Lucier explains the purpose of the experiment and how it works. Gradually the recording gets more distorted as it's played and eventually just becomes an ethereal drone.
I rate this album 5 stars because it's so different, there's not any other albums like this one.

This album was interesting. By the time I got to the end of the long single track. I couldn't believe that it was the same thing that started out. It had a weird effect on me. I'm going to keep it to listen to it every once in awhile.
