Performed Guitar Trio with Rhys Chatham a few years ago, one of the biggest kick Ive had.

Some of these is excellent shit. Some of it...emperor's new clothes type shit.

that said, I'll recommend a few things which you probably are familiar with, but...why not?

facemelters-
Tony Conrad - Early Minimalism, especially Four Violins
Richard Youngs - Advent
Arnold Dreyblatt - Nodal Excitations
Mainliner - Mellow Out
Oval - Ovalprocess
Purling Hiss - s/t
Albert Ayler - Spirits Rejoice
Sun City Girls - Torch Of The Mystics
shit, everything Sublime Frequencies puts out really. Group Inerane is fucking incredible especially.

also
1. this thread and the psych thread should probably be merged.
2. If you like Trout Mask Replica and don't have Lick My Decals Off, Baby, run don't walk.

hey myrrh, that's Incredible String Band in yer sig, yeah?

^Noise is far from psychedelic. That said, this is some creepy stuff to listen to when you're high or tripping.

Hair Police - The Haunting
Hair Police. From 'Constantly Terrified'

Lustmord & Robert Rich - delusion fields
Big fan of Lustmord. This collab is from an album based on that movie Stalker


Also, BASTARD NOISE

Noise is pretty fucking psychedelic, dude. Not hippie psychedelic, but it's definitely supposed to make you see colors and shit. If you're making a fucking Venn diagram of this shit, the intersection would be pretty fucking large.

Also, dude who started this thread listed lots of psych bizz - Beefheart, Can, Boredoms (the record he listed in total psych), Neu!, Chrome, Earth, etc. etc. etc.

Yup Incredible String Band it is!

When you play or are interested in certain kinds of experimental music you meet the "emperors new clothes" attitude quite a lot.
Lets say I go to a museum and see a piece of art I don't understand. Just because I don't have the necessary background to understand it, doesn't mean that its a bad piece of art. Some music doesn't make sense before you know a little about the ideas behind it.
Not to say I know that much, but I just think its too easy to dismiss stuff on that basis.

Not to be a dick but I have to disagree on the psychedelic too. A lot of experimental music can be labeled psychedelic such as Mainliner or Sun City Girls but I think few things are further from say Keith Rowe's intention than to make psychedelic music.

I love psychedelic music though!

Peon off Lick My Decals Off Baby is my favorite Beefheart song!

The only somewhat noise/avant-garde bands I listen to are Blut Aus Nord (but they're still obviously rooted in black metal) and Gnaw Their Tongues. Paysage d'Hiver is very good ambient music too.

And my buddy just told me about this band "Bull of Heaven" who releases a bunch of crazy experimental songs that reach up to two months in length. Yeah-two months.

Peon off Lick My Decals Off Baby is my favorite Beefheart song!

Thing is, I'm pretty familiar with 20 century composition from Stravinsky and Ives to Xenakis and Ligeti and beyond.
Lots of this shit is in the post-industrial realm, too, I know. I've been obsessed with music a long time and have read up on my read ups.
that said, there are a lot of perpertrators out there. if your line of bullshit is good and you can place your shit in the right "context",
you can shit out any kind of noise and have The Wire lick your asshole,
whether there's any musical content or not, whether you've really spent any time with your material or not,
whether you really give a fuck or not.
Is good music dismissed by the uninformed? Yes. Is bad music passed off as something real? Yep, that's also true.

And again, look at the two threads. Lots of overlap. Split hairs all you want - it's all the same people posting about lots of the same shit.
That said...two threads. Sure. Why not?

Oh yeah, Gnaw Their Tongues... forgot about them.  While they have the DUMBEST song titles ever, they make the ultimate haunted house music.

Here is my example of a GTT song title:

Alone, In Misery, I Vomited My Odorous Entrails Upon The Steaming Carcass Of Thine Opponent.

Fuck that.

Haha. That's so true. Some of them are just absurd (i.e. "The Gnostic Ritual Consumption of Semen As Embodiment of Wounds Teared in The Soul"), but some I actually kind of like. Like, "My Body is Not a Vessel, Nor a Temple. It's a Repulsive Pile of Sickness" or "To All Slaves...a Song of False Hope." Since his music is so noise-y/ambient, I like to use the titles to create some sense of what the song is meant to do.

Oh! My favorite song titles are off of the album T.R.E.O.L.W.B., T.E.S.R.W.M.M.: "To Rend Each Other Like Wild Beasts, Till Earth Shall Reek With Midnight Massacre," "Then Shall They Come, Oh Master, Shrieking From Red Battle Fields to People Thy Dark Realms ," and "In Sullen Silence Stalks Forth Pestilence." Just fucking ridiculous.

I think we agree more than I first thought.
Agree on the Wire. Worst of it all was the whole Hypnagogic Pop thing, some good  acts for sure but for me about 90 % is bullshit.
Just out of curiosity what were you referring to? the emperors new clothes stuff.

one or two threads is not so important to me. Most psychedelic music is experimental, but experimental music isn't necessarily psychedelic. That was more my point.

Tried to make a list myself, but its hard.. Maybe later.

i don't consider How To Dress Well, Fever Ray or Grinderman to be avant-garde or anything, but i thought this thread could also be a place to share out-there videos or whatever.

(i'm psyched that a lot of you guys are into weird shit and contributing. i was afraid that this thread was just gonna fade away and be ignored.)

and myrrh, thanks for mentioning Sun City Girls. i can't believe i left them out.

Demdike Stare - all of the stuff released under this moniker should be compulsory listening for anyone reading this thread

Andy Stott's new release, Passed Me By. Cop it.

Tim Hecker

The better Autchre albums will send your brain off on some pretty splintery journeys when listened to as wholes (LP5, Untitled, Amber, Tri-Repetae Quaristice, Incanubula)



Rad thread btw.

The Many Moods Of Otomo Yoshihide

Demdike Stare ? Hashshashin Chant Video

And Alva Noto is pretty incredible. I saw him play a live set at Bloc festival a couple of months ago and it was like being pressure washed from the inside out by something like an analogue of liquid diamonds (fag).

It was actually Dude Dudestofferson who mentioned the Sun City Girls first, not me.

Anyone into Keiji Haino? Seen Him solo Two times and once with Fushitsusha all three times very good.

Keiji Haino is a bad motherfucker. I've seen him twice, but never Fushitsusha. Fucking jealous.

cool someone mentioned Pain Teens. I'm not sure how well they fit, but I'm a Texan and saw 'em a bunch in the 90's. Once with Sonic Youth and Pavement, one time with an amazing forgotten band called Johnboy, and a few other times as well. Bliss Blood was one of the few chubby girls with bangs that I woulda fucked the shit out of. That was before the whole fat girl population of the USA tried to style themselves like Betty Page, though.

Havent heard any of those bands, I will check it out.

Since there was talk about books in the psychedelic thread, anyone read any good books relating to this thread?

Some years back I was heavily into free jazz/fire music I read "As Serious as Your Life: The Story of the New Jazz " by Val Wilmer.
I highly recommend it to anyone into that kind of stuff!

Ben Watson - Derek Bailey and the Story of Free Improvisation was also good.
