   SGM are an amazing band, every album they have is brilliant!!! Not an easy listen at first but after a few spins music becomes more and more locigal() and enjoyable. Saw them live two months ago... well, absoulutly amazing, probably the best show I ever saw! You have to see to believe what this guys (and a girl) are all about: it's not only the music but the overall concept...it's a SGM-cabaret!!!!! Defenatly one of my favourite bands!!!        

If you like SGM try also Discus, Mr Bungle,  Miladojka Youneed. Also can't go wrong with the classics like Henry Cow, Samla Mammas Manna, Frank Zappa, John Zorn if  you want  to get  know  avant-prog/RIO subgenre.

	Sleepytime Gorilla Museum are one of these amazing one of a -kind bands whose music is surely not easily digestible but very rewarding if you take your time. I love their new output "In Glorious Times" which is now on heavy rotation on my stereo system. And I have yet to discover their other albums. Actually there is a lot to discover in their music, even after dozens and hundreds of times of listening to it. It is not simply music, it is an experience. Yeah, I want to see one of their live shows in Germany!

	Well, a friend of mine is heavily into this stuff, I do not know all the bands he listens to, but it's stuff like Idiot Flesh and Sleepy Time Gorilla Museum. We often listen to it when I visit him and the first time I listened to that stuff I could not really take it up but the oftener I listened to it the more I liked it. I would not say I am in that stuff, but I hope I will get into it soon. It is excellent music, but it is very stodgy.

	Brilliant band. Their whole studio discography is excellent! Of Natural History is their best one, but their two others are highly recommended as well. BTW, If you want another challenge, check out Mr. Bungle's Disco Volante.

	I have never heard much avant prog, so I thought I would listen to some avant prog samples on prog archives, and Sleepytime Gorilla Musem's sample song was amazing IMO, so I got their album "Of Natural History" and I was wondering what is the public's opinion about this band... What do you think about them?... I must admit I find "Of Natural History" a handful... very much so, Im not used to this kind of music, it is hard to handle, although it does have amazing moments.... Opinions about Sleepytime Gorilla Museum? Other Things you think a avant prog newbie like me should know?
