Sun Ra - Atlantis

i run on laser beams!

(sorry for the 2 month break, i am very good at procrastinating. just wanted you to know i'm still alive!)

Naked City - Radio

this album is an great introduction to the madness that is john zorn. it begins with some nice blues/jazz influenced tunes, slowly incorporating insanity into the music, to the point where you can actually almost bear the most extreme of naked city's music. note that this album is still extremely tough to grasp, as john zorn is not exactly a great intro to noise music; he is known to give even the most seasoned harsh avant-garde veteran a severe migraine... but still, this album is a classic, and if you can get past the blaring saxophone and painful free jazz improvisations, you will see the awesomeness that john zorn is. that said, beware the album "torture garden". not even joking. it will hurt your brain if you haven't heard at least this album first :o

Frank Zappa - Apostrophe (')

<3 <3 <3

if you can find it, there is also a combo of this album and overnite sensation, that is definitely a bonus :)

Captain Beefheart - Trout Mask Replica

this isn't so much a "suggestion" as a "requirement". seriously, if you don't listen to this album now, then leave this blog, fast and bulbous.

Mike & Rich - Expert Knob Twiddlers

mike paradinas, of µ-ziq and kid spatula, and richard d james, of aphex twin and afx, get together and make an album. awesome ensues.

BLÆRG - Dysphoric Sonorities

here is some great jazzy idm/breakcore for you rapture survivors!

Flying Lotus - Cosmogramma

you know that trippy music during the bumps (black screen with white text in between shows) on adult swim? yep, thats this dude. he's rad :3

Tortoise - Millions Now Living Will Never Die

jazzy post-rock that you have (hopefully) already heard of... many consider it one of the most important albums in the foundation of post-rock, though it draws on other influences like electronic music and modern jazz (lots of improv!). this album is kind of like what my dreams sound like?
