The non-symphonic albums (most of them!) by JOSÉ LUIS FERNÁNDEZ LEDESMA are great items of experimental music in the last two decades: "Al Filo", "Sol Central", "La Paciencia de Job" and "Híbridos" combine RIO, ethno-fusion, electronic krautrock and musique concrete in a challenging fashion, emphasizing textures and atmospheres.
 
 Kind regards.

John Lennon's early collaborations with Yoko would have to be among the weirdest albums ever produced.

I found Can's Tago Mago weird to the point of being unlistenable.  Though not in the archives, I think anything by Throbbing Gristle could qualify as weird, especially their D.o.A - The Third and Final Report.  Also Xasthur has released some of the most inaccessible black metal since, say, Burzum.

^ My The Raven LP got ruined somehow ... it has weird rusty water marks all over it and will not play. I bought the CD about 12 months ago and was disappointed with it. It is funny how we recall music from years ago and then how different it can sound when you get hold of it again.

The song is Meninblack - one word - and it is out of 1979 by The Stranglers from The Raven album. Weird and kinda cool in a quirky way song that deals with humans being the food for aliens...

That's it!  That's it!  You just ended a 20+ year search.  Thank you.

Human flesh is porky meat hee hee heeeeeeeeeeeeeee ...

We don't approve of artificial food
We grow you for our own good

First we gave you the wheel
Then we made you live to kill

So the best stock will survive
We eat you all alive

...and it appears to be the inspiration for the flop of an album The Gospel According To The Meninblack Ouch

I was wondering how long it would take before somebody mentioned that one.
 
And of course Zappa is pretty weird.
 
I saw somebody mention a Robert Wyatt album.   I'll vote for Shleep, where Wyatt pushes false naivety and amateurism to an extreme.
