Cool idea for a thread! Also, I like the track. I would contribute but I haven't discovered anything yet today so maybe next time.

VW is good stuff, particularly their last two albums.

Not necessarily a discovery, as I've heard the Flaming Lips before, but I'm listening to Strobo Trip for the first time, one of the three songs being six hours long

I listened to Gorguts this morning and although I didn't really care all that much for the songs with singing, the instrumental The Battle of Chamdo was quite nice.

Palefeather. Maybe the scandinavian revelation of 2014. For fans of Pink Floyd and Landberk.

I was just checking them out yesterday! What a coincidence. Do they actually have any albums available? All I found out was they released their album only on cassette, and it's sold out. There are a few songs on youtube and one or two on bandcamp, but I don't know if this is all of their material or not. I'd like to check em out in full.

And today, I finally listened to Volcano the Bear for the first time. I remember Gazzardian talking about them a couple of years ago, and I made a mental note to check them out. That mental note got lost, and I just regained it when going through the Wayside catalog and ordering one of their CDs. In preparation, I found a youtube playlist containing a full album different from the one I ordered, and listened to it today. They're about as weird as it gets, just what I needed.

Don't know where their material is accessible. This newest album is s/t so I'm going to assume it's their first (although there are numerous and notable exceptions to the rule).

Field Rotation - Acoutstic Tales
A great ambient album I discovered today with strong melodies that don't just drift off aimlessly but take you somewhere. Full thing is up on bandcamp https://facture.bandcamp.com/album/acoustic-tales" rel="nofollow - https://facture.bandcamp.com/album/acoustic-tales

I actually found the whole album on Spotify this morning... it was good!

The Field Rotation stuff is real nice. Here's some not too shabby synth pop stuff.

I don't think I could afford a new discovery each day.

Today I bought my first Don Cherry record. I'd heard his unique trumpet playing on Robert Wyatt, Carla Bley, and other great musicians' albums, but this was the first time I took the plunge with a full LP with him as leader. It was an impulse buy, I saw a brand new LP copy (double) at a decent price, and it cried out to me to buy it. Very much a pan-ethnic affair, jazz is only a small part of the equation.
Here's side 3:

Don Cherry I don't know, but you probably know his son Eagle Eye Cherry for his one hit in the 90s, 'Save Tonight'. His daughter Neneh Cherry was a member of Rip Rig + Panic, a band that probably would appeal more to the members here, post-punk with jazz influence.

^Listened to Rip Rig and Panic and enjoyed them a lot. Great stuff.

I had no idea the three were at all related.
I guess that's my musical discovery of the day, then.

Just discovered Valentin Stip (or, at least, his upcoming album). Mesmerizing stuff and, while I haven't listened to all of it, I foresee it making my top 10 for this year. Check it out:
Just discovered SORNE. Best I can describe is a tribal/avant feel. Layers of vocals ontop of a sparse use of found and homemade instruments. Think I might go see them live tonight!

I didn't discover this today, but it's my most prominent discovery recently: The Nonesuch Explorer Series. Lots of great authentic folk (or "world" if you insist) musics easily available (it's all on iTunes):
