It’s a compilation of all their music from the late 60s to 2012 packaged in a refrigerator and it comes with a price tag of $100,000.

I love Disco Volante. Mr Bungle were my favourite band for years. I still randomly hum the 'dirty dancing' riff towards the end of Carry Stress in the Jaw all the time.

His first film "Seul contre tous" is still my favourite!

Once you mentioned Mike Patton, Delìrium Còrdia is probably the strangest album concept that I have on my collection.

Nice choices! I found out about This Heat looking into the samples on Danny Brown’s Atrocity Exhibition. Looking into a lot of samples on that album leads to some cool music

Thank you for making these videos, they really help me find music that I find interesting, and I enjoy listening to your insights. One weird noise rock band that I know is Boredoms, and their strangest album that comes to mind is Pop Tatari, so if you’re looking for more strange stuff to make another video, maybe give them a listen.

Next time how about "The funniest albums I (you) know"

I appreciate you putting some respect on Disco Volante. Easily the album that changed the way I looked at music.

Love these a lot. Been watching your old stuff, too. Keep it up bro!

Great collection! Hardly anything strikes me as "Strange" anymore , but I love it when I hear of an album that was not expected and making a few listeners scratch their heads. Mort Garson's BLACK MASS LUCIFER was possibly his most extreme Moog workout work of the one-time MOR elevator music producer turned electronic creator (via a group of Astrology-themed albums at first I think). Following up on someone's mentioning of Pierre Henry, a mention of his collaboration with Spooky Tooth CEREMONY also might be something to check out with it's clash of Musique concrete (I hope I have the right term) with the band's music - I'm still wondering if Scott Walker, who's SCOTT 4 was released around this time took notice given his albums from TILT onward. With Scott in mind, The Walker Brothers' NITE FLIGHTS was the introduction to Scott's turn to the darker music he was to create that possibly made some long time listeners to the 60's trio wonder if they had the right album in the jacket given that Gary Leeds and John Maus were encouraged by Scott Engel to think outside of the Pop Box and more to the way he was headed although not quite achieving the greatness his four songs had (to those wondering, it's the album with "The Electrician"). Walker's own TILT shocked many who wished a return to the for SCOTT albums of The 60's only to hear brilliant nightmares that showed some interest in the experimental underground of the time. Some of tracks on 101 Strings' ASTRO SOUNDS FROM BEYOND THE YEAR 2000 was in reality a bunch of flanged strings over the music of The Animated Egg, but it was enough to alienate those who wanted more of the Supermarket Mood Music to see it hardly get promoted outside of California (last time I researched). "Flameout" is a cult classic. When it comes to just one song from someone, "Rock and Roll Station" by Jac Berracol features the voice of Vince "Brand New Cadillac" Taylor sounding like he's writing a postcard from the edge. Being covered by Nurse With Wound adds points to it's legend. A ramble, but I hope an interesting one for you.

Misanthropic albums pls. I can't find any good recommendations on KZread for that. Love the old school vibes your channel has. It's nice just hearing you talk

I am not surprised that Sleepytime Gorilla Museum sorta made it in via background music. But I'm VERY surprised that Cardiacs - Sing to God or Cardiacs in general didn't make it in, they are a bit of a cult followed band. I think Cardiacs need a lot more attention in a lot of aspects, they really take songwriting in a whole other level.

Tangerine Dream and Klaus Schulze early albums were some bizarre tracks as well

Thank you! one of the best videos yet. how about some early MAGMA records?

The most atmospheric albums list would be great

Autechre is one of my fav bands. if it's hard to get into, start your way up with some of their earlier releases like ep7 or tri repaete

Krautrock is a massive genre, it encompasses a huge variety of styles of music. A massive can of worms to open but some really good music too.

Van is great. The video and music is a quality combination. The drummer has some mega skills too.

Kayo Dot's least accessible albums are some their greatest triumphs. On one hand there's Gamma Knife with one of the most texturally-interesting and cacophonic takes on extreme metal I've heard, on the other there's Plastic House on Base of Sky with its grandiose electronic goth future-gazing. Of course there's the astrally-derived esoteric metal of its predecessor, maudlin of the Well, and the secret message encoded in their double album masterpiece Bath & Leaving Your Body Map. Kaatayra's Inpariquipê is a sort of Amazonian tribal acoustic black metal. As cool as it sounds. OLD's Lo Flux Tube and The Musical Dimensions of Sleastak as impressive as they are bombastically absurd. Also serves as a precursor to... Fredrik Thordendal's Special Defects' Sol Niger Within (Version 3.33), a crowning schizo metal achievement. Unbelievable, featuring world-class musicians. Fredrik's been working on a sequel for decades.

This Heat is such a phenomenal band. Their second album "Deceit" is the fan favourite and one of my favourite progressive rock albums ever. If you're are looking for the missing link between the most "progressive" side of prog (stuff like krautrock, Canterbury and my sweeties Henry Cow) and the most intellectual and experimental bank of post punk (Pop Group, Public Image Ltd, groups that do not sound like This Heat, but you got the idea), go no further.

Hey, Wyatt! Great video! You think you could cover Emo Violence or stuff like Combat Wounded Veteran?

hearing you talk about Confield reminded me of another one of my favourite electronic(???) albums of all time, Ryoji Ikeda's Dataplex it's composed of computer data turned into audio which as expected sounds alien and inhuman and unmusical, it's extremely unique in it's use of barely audible frequencies and "microsounds" that to the uninitiated are very challenging and disorienting, the music is less something you listen to like a traditional song and more like a textural auditory experience that showcases the physical qualities and possibilities of audio, how sounds you won't hear in nature and exist solely in the digital world affect our bodies and biology in antithesis to music's typical goal of affecting us on an emotional level, listening with headphones is a must, lifechanging personally

Hey Wyatt I highly recommend the documentary kraut rock: rebirth of Germany, genuinely great and gives great insight of the range of what kraut rock can be

Thanks for reminding me of autechre, they have a few classics

I'm an expert on Scandinavian music, and the strangest albums I know are probably from the Swedish ambient scene in the 70's. Albums like Jola Rota (1971) by Joakim Skogsberg and Horrorscope (1979) by Ralph Lundsten. Also an obligatory shoutout to Tussilago Fanfara (1977) by Anna Själv Tredje, which isn't just a fascinating album from a historical perspective, but also my favorite ambient album of all time (on top of that it has the most black metal album cover ever).

Try out Comus - First Utterance. If you check out the lyrics, you can find many sections taken by Mikael Åkerfeldt in Opeth. This includes the album "My Arms Your Hearse." You'll find lots of direct references in Opeth's music.

NunSexMonkRock by Nina Hagen is damn strange, yet sooooo talented and awesome at the same time. Whaddup Wyatt !

Here's a few suggestions: Le Voyage by Pierre Henry comes to mind. He did that record with Spooky Tooth & all of his records are strange, but this one might be the weirdest which is saying something. While not quite krautrock, Output by Wolfgang Dauner is German jazzbos approximating the more out there stuff by early Can. One of my strangest records is by Bob Vido (Robert Vidoloff). I have the single sided edition. He attempts jazz, rock & classical music, playing all of the instruments himself in the true meaning of the word outsider. I spoke on the phone once to arrange meeting him & buying a bunch of records. He wanted to meet me at a bowling alley he frequented. Sadly, I procrastinated & he died. Neither copy has ever sold on Discogs. While not exactly strange, I would say the first space rock record is Countdown by Jimmie Haskell which came out in 1959. It combines early rock with a moog or moog-like keyboard in a catchy, entertainingly cheesy way.

It's all basically music more or less, sounds recorded to be listened to with perceptible forms and patterns. Is abruptum really all that different from the beach boys, like, if you were an alien and just saw them both recording? You'd be like "oh, ok, so the hands play the guitars, sound comes from the mouths, the sticks hit the drums, it all goes through microphones and is mixed, edited and released on physical media". They're rock bands. Even something like Gamelan music is at least different in fundamental form and purpose. Especially nothing is weird in the internet era, when accessing stuff is incredibly easy, no sketchy venues, mailing stuff with a return address on it to people who might be legitimately crazy and violent, no digging through stacks and ads in the back of magazines.

There’s a lot I disagree with this. Music and art is about conveying emotions, thoughts, experiences and ideas. At some point things become norms for individuals who view/hear art. To compare aliens experiencing art to a human comparing art is an odd strawman argument. I’m going off of what’s strange from what I know and the follow up video (being this video) is the viewers experiences with weird music. It’s really all about musical experiences from what I know of and stating that the albums I’m discussing aren’t factual strange shouldn’t diminish the emotional attachment people share with them.

I recommended the first Faust album because of its absurdity. However, for the genre of Krautrock as a whole, some albums that would be better introductions include Faust IV, Can - Tago Mago, and NEU! - self-titled.

Neptunian Maximalism - Eons Magma - MDK Kryzstof Penderecki - Utrenja

Effluence should be explored. They’re an experimental brutal death metal band.

How about Winter Songs by the Art Bears ? I really couldn't describe it if my life depended on it. Ok I'll try - if Comus had a schizophrenic witch cousin who lived even deeper in the woods. One of my all-time favorites is 'Gravity' by Fred Frith - famous guitarist of weird music. It's like Naked City (who he plays with) where it keeps crashing from weird song to weird song and different style to different style but a lot friendlier sounding. I've listened to it a half a million times since it came out in 78 and odd as it may be it's now as encoded in my DNA as Sgt Pepper or Dark Side. Then of course there's the krautrock magnum opus Tago Mago by Can. Can't forget that one. Listen to 'Augmn' if you doubt or 'Halleluwah' for the most monster thunder drums I ever heard. Imo their drummer Jaki Leibzeit is the best and most versatile drummer I've ever heard period. And their crazed Japanese lead vocalist Damo Suzuki who kinda tries to sing in English - I think - but always lands way far off the mark. A real classic of Germanic weirdness. 22:09 23:22 23:28

Then there's 'Are We There Yet ?' by the Television Personalities. They recorded a bunch of albums filled with catchy simple-sounding pop songs with a lot of naiveteé in it but as time went on their singer and main songwriter Dan Tracey (I think that's his name) evidently hit a vortex of homelessness and drug addiction and mental illness and he or 'the band' released 'Are We There Yet ?' which sounds like it's been made by a precocious demented 10 year old with a Farfisa and some tin cans and an extremely bad attitude. Btw 'Krautrock' is called that because it's German experimental music largely from the late 60s to the mid 70s. I love that Faust album too but nearly everyone agrees 'The Faust Tapes' and 'Faust IV' seem to be the most well-liked of their albums. I'd say the definitive and most influential Krautrock band were Can. Every album they recorded from 68-75 is unique and as weird as you could want. If you want to feel intensely uncomfortable about the subject of race check out 'Racially Yours' by the Frogs. If you want to both laugh AND be intensely uncomfortable check out anything else by them. That album by This Heat was well worth mentioning but their album 'Deceit' is a damn near perfect masterpiece and I've read loads of record reviews that seem to agree with that impression. It's great you discovered Gong but if you want to hear the weird heart of Gong listen to virtually any solo album by their bandleader Daevid (that's how he spells it) Allen - especially anything from what I call his 'Black Album' series which are 7-8 demented brilliant home demo albums. Great stuff. Try and find the song 'My Penis Is Aging' and spread your wings from there !

Cacophony was a bit unexpected at the time it came out, after Death Church I don't think anyone expected how Cacophony would sound.

Ever listen to any The Sperm or other music by Pekka Airaksinen? Kaukana väijyy ystäviä by M.A. Nummisen sähkökvartetti is also a good early synth song. Taisteluni by M.A. Numminen as whole is weird album but a for full effect you need to understand Finnish. Nearest English speaker can get is Da-Ga Da-Ga covered by Jorma Kaukonen.

Soundtracks For The Blind by Swans and Buyer's Market by Peter Soto both fit the bill for incredibly depressing and incredibly strange albums. The former is one of Swans' best works, with loads of sampled textures, washes of noise, and audio collages of recordings of drug addicts. Soto's album is a much darker and harder to listen to work, with the entire album being an audio collage of interviews with law enforcement, parents, and children who were survivors, investigators, etc of sex crimes. It's heartbreaking and nauseating and maybe one of the few albums I've ever had to just turn off.

I'm surprised Mr. Bungle was recommended, but not Fantômas. Imo, Fantômas is an even weirder/stranger Mike Patton project. Mike Patton doesn't really sing lyrics as much as he just uses his voice to great effect on so much material they've made. The debut is absolutely addictive with its use of old-school movie sound montages playing over jarring and sometimes groovy and thrashing sludgy riffs courtesy of Buzz Osbourne from the Melvins and Trevor Dunn from, well, Mr. Bungle! If the debut album isn't weird enough, go listen to Suspended Animation, their latest/last album. Mixes in circus music and Looney Tunes clips amongst more batshit insane heavy, sludgy, and sometimes groovy as hell riffs. Oh yeah and Dave Lombardo from Slayer is the drummer for Fantômas. Fantômas is such a fantastic successor to John Zorn's material, especially with Naked City, but if you want something heavily influenced by John Zorn without too much jazz influence and that bit heavier, can't recommend Fantômas highly enough. Edit: Great to see Gong mentioned! Absolutely positive they played a huge influence on King Gizzard. Especially listening to songs like I Never Glid Before.

Clowncore's music makes my brain go "Phweeeeeeee!!!"

A lot of great choices here! Here's some more weird albums that I didn't bring up in the last video: Boredoms - "Vision Creation Newsun": This Japanese band started off as pretty much a shitpost art punk band, but in their later albums they evolved into a super abstract but awesome experimental psychedelic rock band with influences from krautrock, space rock, tape music, noise and tribal music. This album blew my mind when I first heard it as a teenager, and it still does. It completely puts you in a trance with its overbearing and psychedelic sound. Another band that does weirdo Japanese art punk worth checking out is Midori. Poppy - "I Disagree": Poppy's take on metal music is definitely very weird and out-there, but I'm personally a huge fan. I guess you can classify this as alternative metal but it takes influence from genres ranging from industrial metal, nu metal, electro-pop, dream pop, metalcore, and whatever other genre. Thought Industry - "Mods Carve the Pig": This band was pretty ahead of its time, at least on this album, and unfortunately relatively unknown. Unique blend of progressive metal, alternative metal, and thrash metal, but this band can just segway into whatever genre they feel like while still making the songs have memorable sections and hooks. Some sections on this album even feel proto-mathcore at times. Definitely a hidden gem. Cardiacs - "Sing to God": Honestly one of my favorite experimental/progressive rock albums ever, such a strange, exotic and flamboyant sound and style to this album, but I absolutely love the songwriting on most of this album because it sounds so upbeat and catchy while at the same time discordant, off-putting and almost psychotic at times. Unexpect - "In a Flesh Aquarium": Absolutely off-the-wall and schizophrenic avant-garde death metal with influences from dark cabaret, symphonic metal, classical music, progressive metal and black metal (even some funk thrown in there for good measure), but this band actually blends all these genres together nicely rather than just jumping from genre to genre. Godflesh - "Post Self": Bringing up another Godflesh album; this one starts off heavy and sludgy but just evolves into atmospheric, industrial weirdness. This album along with "Us and Them" definitely take the cake with Godflesh's weirdest records, but pretty much any album from this band is essential for Industrial Metal fans. BABYMETAL: Think any album from this band qualifies for this category; just the idea behind this band is weird enough, but that's not even taking into account all the other styles they incorporate and somehow link together in their songs. Also check out Maximum the Hormone. Ween - "Quebec": Every song on this album is a different style but the thing is these guys are so good at whatever style they choose to play, and manage to have such a unique sound at the same time. Candiria - "300 Percent Density": Awesome experimental metalcore band from Brooklyn that incorporate elements of jazz, hip hop, ambient, electronic, progressive metal, and many more. This band has influenced a lot of modern progressive metal/metalcore bands, but for some reason remain relatively unknown. Definitely need more attention, super ahead of their time. Secret Chiefs 3: Trey Spruance from Mr. Bungle's main project, pretty much any album from this band fits in this category as well. Ved Buens Ende... - "Written In Waters": This band along with Gorguts and Demilich are pioneers in weird avant-garde extreme metal. This band is way more in the black metal side of things but still heavily utilize dissonance and discordant songwriting to generate a unique style. There's also a weird math rock vibe I get from this album, almost reminiscent of bands like Slint. This is so fun to talk about, but I'll leave it here as I've already typed so damn much.

Seconding UneXpect and Ved Buens Ende. In A Flesh Aquarium is an absolute headfuck and I absolutely love it. Hearing Feasting Fools for the first time blew my mind with how seamlessly different genres could be blended together and mixed into this surprisingly hooky avantgarde metal! Ved Buens Ende - Written In Waters should be an album every black metal fan should listen to before they die. It's definitely more than black metal, and impossible to pigeonhole. But it is a hypnotic experience and it is still a bucket list goal to see them perform live.

"This Japanese band started off as pretty much a shitpost art punk band" - no, Boredoms were one of the many noise(core) bands that came from Japan at this time. Maybe they were more funny and had songs that had more structure than most noise-songs, but there was nothing about them being "shitpost art punk". Other bands in this vein were Ufo Or Die and Hanatarash (Yamatsuka from Boredoms was also in both of them). Hanatarash were even banned from playing in most venues in Japan because of their live-shenanigans (like bringing an excavator on stage to demolish it completely).

@@stevekramerf242 nah you’re good, I probably should’ve used better terminology anyway (I’m not the best at describing music lol). I was aware of the early live performance antics which is what originally drew me into boredoms back in high school. I’m admittedly not that well-versed in the Japanoise scene though.

If you want a good introduction band for Krautrock then Can is an absolute necessity, their first five records are a masterclass in rhythemic 'cosmic' music.

I don't really listen to a lot of bands that could be considered "strangest" but there are some bands that stand out on my playlsits. PSUDOKU is one of them, they have 2 albums at the moment but the second one "deep space psudokument" is stranger. It sounds like some sort of cybergrind and grindcore mix and as if the musicians are hitting absolutely random notes but it still somehow manages to sound cohesive and musical at the end. Another strange band would be The Sound That Ends Creation, they are some sort of mathcore derivative and deffinately go for some funny song names.

Psudoku is a blast to listen to Got one of their albums on LP

I have that same Irréversible shirt!!

I spy Tears For Fears. Was that the cover used on the American release of 'The Hurting'? It's different from the UK version.

Drugs Are Nice by Suckdog is one of the weirdest albums ive ever heard for sure. ranging between punk rock, literally just some girls talking and fucking around with a tape recorder, experimental noise and so much more

The Autopsy Report Of A Drowned Shrimp... Sleeplytime Gorilla Museum, Single Unit... There's a hell of a lot of fun out there. Try Justice Yeldam and The Magic Ribbon Device (Lucas Abela) if you really want a stange day. You're welcone 😅

I would have gone OV by Orthrelm and Acid in the Style of David Tudor by Florian Hecker. I mean, Roaratorio is probably one of the strangest albums I know, but I also don't really like it. Disco Volante was a super formative album for me, but I think the first Fantomas album is weirder. I cannot stand Mike Patton's voice anymore but, I would imagine that album still stands up. I guess it depends what you mean. In a way I think Cruise by Whitehouse is a really odd album, but then you've already done so much about disturbing albums. Cosmic Pulses by Stockhausen is something I listen to when I want to feel weird which never disappoints. The Drift maybe? One really weird thing I heard recently that I enjoyed was Kenneth Goldsmith sings Ludwig Wittgenstein. Loads of good weird arty stuff like that on the channel Celestial Railroad. Electroretard maybe? Colosus of Destiny? Prick? Honky? The Bootlicker? Feels wrong not to have any Melvins in there.

Swastikas for Goddy is pretty weird. Echo Sound World. So much stuff released on Tzadik - to be fair to the guy, Adult Themes for Voice and Pranzo Oltranzista are really weird albums, also Spike by Agata, The Hidachi Royal Chorus. Loads of Mick Barr's is super weird. Mbuti Pygmie music is weird. Anthony Pateras's piano improvisations should appeal to metallers. Henning Christiansen is a very exentric composer. Requiem for Art and Symphony Natura are pretty weird, and also AMAZAWILD.

Irreversible shirt goes hard.

All fans of mr bungle should love secret chiefs 3 !!!! It’s basically mr bungle - mike patton ! It has a bit more of a drum n bass style mixed with that disco violante sound !!!!

Don Salsa witht their album "Koolaid Moustache" is a great example

Do others who've ended up with stupidly eclectic music collections, with loads of really fucking weird bands, feel the same as I do, looking back on it? I've never cared about "weird" or "normal", but just needed to keep looking for more and more music, which inevitably leads you to those insanely obscure corners of the musical world full of sounds that really don't fit into previously known paradigms? I'm sure I've cared as much about weird as i have about normality, just not interested, but give me something I've not heard before and I'm a happy old geezer. And that search was a lot more fun pre-internet/streaming, having to befriend other oddballs, especially if they worked in record shops, sending off international reply coupons to obscure distros in other countries not knowing if you'd get a reply.
