Not totally my cup of tea but the De Lorians album seems to be very popular at the moment for those that like something more off the beaten track. If you like all the right notes played in the wrong order (to paraphrase a classic line from a Morecambe and Wise sketch) then this is definitely for you!

It really is. I have not been that crazy about Faust’s latter day material as much of it sounds like they’re merely copycatting themselves...but Fresh Air was exactly that, a breath of fresh air

I've heard absolutely zero progressive bands after 1990 that do anything for my ears.
I'm dead serious. I haven't heard anything from 1990 forward that sounds like magic to me.

I love or at least like really much all Faust-albums (well haven´t heard their two eighties releases from old material). I think C´est Com... , Faust Is Last & Something Dirty are as great as Fresh Air, in "j US t" there is a little bit a feel they´re coming yesterday´s band, but it´s really great in Fresh Air they showed to be alive & well! Also I haven´t been totally a fan of electro of Ravvivando.
Really hope they will come Finland this year!!

But, I understand you, I also think the most magic years in pop/rock music were 1966-74.

You are quite welcome
 I love all kinds of music - also quite derivative stuff actually..though mostly psych or retro-like Berlin school electronic. It’s all down to the feel of the thing for me. Doesn’t have to be cutting edge to be good - it just needs some fire in it’s belly. That’s all really. I do however like to explore progressive music - like in genuinely progressive or merely truly unique sounding artists. Some times though they tend to reside outside of our usual tastes, which can be challenging at first. I certainly felt so when I first started diving into the more experimental side to pop and hip hop...but I think that ultimately had more to do with my preconceived ideas about the music than anything else. |

Oh, don't get me wrong; I've heard and enjoyed music from many of those you've listed! I guess I'm biased and my expectations for completely novel stuff is way, way too high, lol. '66-'74 was a hell of a period. That era is like a constant goldmine!

First things that came to my mind were Swans - Seer and the following albums, and a.P.A.t.T's Fun of Music, both already listed by Guldbamsen. Anyway, you are probably aware of Art Zoyd but many don't know their more recent more radical work such as Champ des Larmes or Phase V, difficult to access for many but certainly unique. The bands Sonar, Dawn of Midi and Schnellertollermeier have surprised me with a fresh spin on post/math rock. Also I recommend some stuff not listed on PA, I love the Austrian band Radian (pretty much all of their albums are fine entry points for their sound), the Belgian "Stuff." sound very innovative to me, and you may want to check out some of Tyondai Braxton's material such as Central Market (he's the son of free jazzer Anthony Braxton and ex-member of Battles).

This rules of course! But David you aren't really being fair to not give video of the machine: Only that way can one understand the genius of Martin Molin! p.s. For those interested there is a whole series of videos about the design and construction of the machine that are really fascinating...if you like that kind of thing.

^I thought about the video when I posted that actually....but didn’t include it because I only post over my phone...and well vids become links over the phone.
Aaaanyway, thanks for helping out Simon! The video really shows another side to the music...and why it sounds the way it does. I’m always halfway between the cirkus and some weird theme park when I listen to that album...in a good way mind you
