Going by the description I'm very curious to hear it. And the song titles are hilarious, especially 'Involuntary Orgasms During The Cleaning Of Automobiles'. Haha, I know some people who love their cars that much.

Since the voting ended in a tie, I made another poll with three options that previously had 2 votes each: Harry Partch, Einsturzende Neubaten and Crispin Glover.

Please vote again for one of these three.

Seeing as how we're down to three I'd like to nominate:

Learn To Talk/Country of Blinds(1990) is technically two albums, but most places you can find/download it offer it as one. If you ask me, it first PERFECTLY as a double album. There's never been a time I've not listened to it as one. Now, in a lot of ways this isn't quite as 'avant-garde' or experimental as many of the albums presented. I mean, it uses mostly guitar, cello, and other conventional instrumentation. But, compositionally, it's by far one of the most interesting things I've ever heard.

Maybe I'm just not knowing of the source, but Skeleton Crew - to me- sounds nothing like anything else on the planet. It's kind of folky but not folk, it's avant-garde but definitely not noisey. There's worlds of Celtic influence, very relatable lyrics of social/politica satire, improv jam sections, tons of sampling, strange vocal patterns.

By far, probably Fred Frith's greatest band/work imo.

I think you should just omit The Velvet Underground and Nico in the next poll. Everyone has already heard it, and it's just taking up space...

By the way, great recommendation, Skaligojurah. I see that you're still on that avant-prog musical tangent.

Well, we're not down to three technically. Other albums also had some votes, it's just that these three had the most. Anyway, I've been meaning to check out Skeleton Crew, so good suggestion Skaligojurah

Yeah I agree...I shall take it down.

No way! Another tie...I'll leave it till tomorrow in hope somebody breaks it.

I voted Crispin Hellion Glover; you can change my vote to Partch and consider it untied if you'd like.

Nope. That just wouldn't be fair.

I have the democratic right to vote; I should simultaneously possess the democratic right to change my vote in order for the vote to actually mean something.

PARTCH FOR '11

That's a hanging chad.
