Not your average pop song...

[Ardour]

Does anybody know any remarkable music which is somewhat experimental or so-called avantgarde - something which breaks away from the usual genres etc.?

For instance this one:

Mr. Bungle - Desert Search For Techno Allah

[Eff]

Ok the only thing i can think of at the moment is the firestarter although it isn't what you mean ,but the video breaks away from the usual ...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmin5WkOuPw
Prodigy
i saw them live wowoowow

[Ardour]

Hey, "Firestarter" fits perfectly here! The thread title basically says it all...

Other examples:

Nine Inch Nails - The Perfect Drug

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhnEkfX-nKQ
Primus - Kalamazoo

But it could as well be some mellow music or *anything* that sounds different somehow...

[Eff]

Sorry Ardour, i don't see how the 'perfect drug' fits into here, but the 2nd link was damn cooool.

You know what, from judging Clarence's sense of humor, i bet he could post the weirdest kind'a music

Not average group , Linkin park. i like 'em a lot, but what i find strange about them that they have songs like Rap--then quiet love songs---then heavy metal--then rock--then pop--- then dj's stuff, all in each and every cd of'em.
strange isn't it?
kind'a love song

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UA9L_w4TWM
and i can go on 'n on...
Anyway i dont know many or ..any other bands that do that.

Since I know you don't like David Bowie, I won't even start talking about his musical variety...
I really like what Beck (the one who made "Loser") did during the 90ies. I won't try to name the musical genres he covered, I really don't know all their names, but here are just three examples:

Straight: Sexx Laws
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XC7ucvAAVvw

Funny: MTV Makes Me Want To Smoke Crack
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQ-orW3ZJ1k

Weird: Diamond Bollocks
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCe12hHkuXg

I saw him live in 99. There were about 12 musicians on stage, including a brass section and a DJ on turntables. The band improvised a lot, and at some point during the concert Beck sent them all backstage for a break, hung an old acoustic guitar around his neck, asked the crowd "What do you wanna hear next?" and did some solo pieces. Overall they played for nearly three hours, and it was one of the greatest concerts I ever witnessed!

That was hilarious i wonder if they ever play this song on mtv ha ha..

The 3rd was kind'a psycodalic or maybee just too many weird instruments made me feel that.

[LaLou]

I think The Cure totaly fit in here. Their music is ... different. Their video's are like dreams.

A few of their many songs:
The forest

Love cats.

[Eff]

wow cure ain't no weirdo's. i love'em. their look and videos are strange though.. but ...com'on Lalou.. when Ardour posted this thread i thought of you, you listen to the most awkward music. no offence yeah?

I love the cure.

[LaLou]

I love the Cure too.

And do you mean that Enigma is awkward?

Or B-tribe?

[Eff]

YES.
I used to love this kind'a music years ago. i will fall asleep if i will listen to it these days though.

[Eff]

Creepy ...
The young gods---September song. wow

[Eff]

Mahh. that's a 'praise the lord' song, its from a real wedding of course ,and these ppl scares the shazam! out'a me., although they're ok i think.
Basicly they sing "We're a believers born to believers ,and we have no one to trust-but our father in the sky." they ROCK!
listen-(oh and they always..like ALWAYS jump.)

Wow Effie, I actually liked it.
It's a good thing though that I don't undertand the text, because I think it would freak me out.

[Nailbunny]

Beck seems to be a perfect fit for this thread, as shown in this video. Percussion a la dinner!

Ha ha ha ha ha! Oh, man! That is great. Andy was a genius. A shining star. A curve-wrecker. He once took his ENTIRE AUDIENCE out for cookies and milk after the show! Really! This was great. Thanks, Bella!
