For Aqualung

haha classic. you should do a profile on captain beefheart for the main site. it has his albums but no biography. you sound like you know a lot.

maybe joren is slacking! hehe you shud try n blag his spot.

i reli love orange claw hammer. jus him singing crazily leadining into the lush wild life! all the tracks are challenging and very different to anything ive ever heard i havent found a bad moment yet and i dont think i will. this is a true classic

its actually very listenable, just took me by surprise a lot to hear something with just singing as the second track! i love the blimp. sumin like you make captain beefheart and his magic band fat hehe! sounds like its about frank zappa too being the blimp!

Are you going to review it?

 

oh yeah, of course

who are fantomas?

yah i remember stumbling across mr bungle on here and i thought whoa! mike patton went prog. he is in faith no more and the dillinger escape plan rite? i will check em out one day, as for now im excited about frank and beefheart.

have you heard piper at the gates of dawn or ummagumma by pink floyd? that is insane as you can get, the first with syd barrett, writing about gnomes, bikes, scarecrows and a cat called lucifer sam.

ummagumma has many crazy instrumentals, grantchester meadows has roger waters doing a gentle acosutic with birds humming in the background and a crazy man trying to swat a fly.

the craziest tracks are careful with that axe eugene, roger screaming like a woman over a mental jam and "several speices of small furry animals gethered together in a cave and grooving with a pict" which has a crazy scottish commentator, alien jibberish and apparently lots of slang for sex (ummagumma is cambridge slang for sex apparently)

i suggest you check em out for complete weirness. also there is the track "saucerful fo secrets" on ummagumma which sounds like a musical representation of a ufo landing!

If you want to try something experimental,try the phenomenal Japanese band The Boredoms

FNM and DEP are hardly the best representations of Mike Patton's genius.  That man is seriously out there, and for that I love him.  Fantomas and Mr. Bungle are both crazy, and his solo stuff is some of the most experimental "music" I've ever heard.  I put the term music in brackets because they're really just him making sounds with his voice.  His work with John Zorn is also pretty intense (a little TOO weird for me though).
