Ever hear Laurie Anderson?

My faves by her are:

United States I-IV
Big Science
Mr. Heartbreak
Home Of The Brave
Bright Red


Another vote for Laurie Anderson. Try track down the video of "Home of The Brave" I'm not sure if it's on DVD but I can't see why it wouldn't be.

A friend saw her in concert. She was in the lobby handing out AA batteries to everyone as they came through a turnstile.

Some albums by Van Dyke Parks. Song Cycle  is one of the strangest albums ever made! Musical atmospheres come and go, one after another. Completely unique.

Oh, and I should mention The Ex. For instance, their album Blueprints For A Blackout combines noise with classical instruments. A strange musical cocktail. They were a really experimental band, by the way.
