Artist called Cornelius album called Fantasma brilliant 90s Japanese electro pop and one song was a lucozade advert
Nicko74 Dick Dale very cool seen him live twice.

Roper, having seen the Residents live last year, complete with an old man in a rabbit suit on vocals, I'd say they are still definitely off the wall.
I'm really liking the output of Finders Keepers at the moment - a small record label that reissues bizarre music from all over the world. Their site has an A-Z of records they love and some mixes to download, so it's a good starting point of you want to learn more about drum-heavy 1970s Italo-Hungarian folky progressive horror rock.

Francis Cabrel
I had a Francis Cabrel album while I was cramming for A-level french. It was awe-inspiring pap. Has he moved on into an edgier phase?

I am listening to Portisheads alubums again. Some odd music on there. Still very cool must be 10 years old now....

Michael B - I'd forgotten about Cornelius. He was really good, like a Japanese Beck. Point is a great LP, don't think I ever owned Fantasma though.

Quite a lot of decent (for once) musical suggestions, but quite a lot of mainstream stuff (Black Moutain ain't off the wall but Druganaut, live, at the Green Man last year was ace)

Good choice grumm. Si Begg's bass makes me happy
Anyone know Bridge & Tunnel?
Posted 2 years ago # -
I know Bridge and Tunnel, no idea what, where or how though. Planet mu?
Posted 2 years ago # -
Not Planet Mu - used to be on Harmsonic. Very cool, almost ambient stuff. Somehow I've managed to own 3 albums by them without knowing a thing about them.
Just noticed, next to them in the rack Broken Spindles. They're worth checking if you like erm.. off the wall stuff Posted 2 years ago # -
Steel Panthers - Death to All But Metal
Posted 2 years ago # -
Maybe not off the wall, but "off the beaten track" mixed by Quantic is one of my most treasured CDs.
23 super rare funk/reggae/african cuts with no track listing. To this day me and two of my friends are still desperately trying to figure out who did the last tune, in the slim hope we can buy more of their stuff somewhere...

Roper, wan't that hard to get tickets, they played a hey-yuge venue in London (the Forum in Kentish Town, if you know it). It was more of a multimedia performance piece than a gig, if you know what I mean. Part of it was live performance, then they had odd little short films between. It was OK but having heard their bonkers first album (the one with the cover that is basically a Beatles album they've drawn on) I do get the impression they've mellowed with age...

Third Reich'n'Roll is probably my favourite of theirs but the whole apocalyptic bunnyman thing was meant to be awesome. I had a mate who went who raved about it for days. Cuoldn't make it myself and feel like I missed out

Heathenwoods, it was pretty fun (and quite creepy) but I wouldn't say it was properly gobsmacking. Then again I'm not that familiar with the Residents (I can't really get into their classic period stuff, it's a bit arch and synth-y) and tend to prefer shouty gigs that encourage the throwing of shapes, so I can well believe that other people raved about it.
13thfloormonk, have a gander here. No ID on the last track though:

Ambient black metal anyone?
Wolves in the throne room

I must admit that Black Mountain weren't quite what I expected, neither were Engineers who my local kiwi record man suggested were kinda ok. If I wanted Pale Saints lite I'd have bought Pale Saints.
I do still need to get Thee Hypnotics on cd.Posted 2 years ago # -
My Bloody Valentine- especially Loveless
NoMeansNo - 0+2=1
The Mint Chicks -F*ck the golden youth.Posted 2 years ago # -
Also Lou Reeds Metal Machine Music
Good luck to anyone who listens to the whole album.

Saw Stars of the Lid (with Lichens supporting) at St Martin in the Fields church last year. Really good gig.
Animal Collective and Battles are two favourites, particularly for eating up commuting road miles.
