the WEIRDEST record you have ever heard!

[WingsOfAnAngel]

my nomination is:

kali bahlu takes the forest children on a journey of cosmic remembrance
http://www.triad.rr.com/dance/content/khali.html

this is the most exotic record i have heard!
the lp has 4 tracks. each one is ~10 minutes long. it's basically a FREESTYLE session, with beautiful sitars and indian drums. if you ever get a chance of getting this, don't think twice!
on each track kali talks about the meaning of life and tells MAGICAL tales of wisdom. there's even a hazy part where she rambles about drinking coffee with Buddha :lol:

what's your nomination?
(remember - as :crazy: as you can think of!)

BLUE CAMEL by Rabih Abou-Khalil

Rabih is a Lebanese/German oud-player who is fascinated by jazz.
On all his albums he mixes jazz and traditional arab music, always in a soulful,organic way. I strongly recommend this album.

Petsounds by brian wilson, really, nothing relates hehe.

Calderaz, dont remember the title, but it's latin jazz goes psychodelica fusion from the late 60's. They got a real good drummer and there one track on the album with a 12 minute drum solo and drummer's using a delay with it too, to flange the beats. I didn't even dare to sample it yet.

Taj mahal, "if the river was whiskey" (- I'd be drowning duck ), I dunno, this track makes you feel reel good for some reason and the guitars are funnky

Soulfly, a blaxploitation track where this dude uses all the original James Brown tracks and some by others and use the same drive on his vocals to match the originals but the lyrics are sick n twisted about xrated subject and it mad funny. It's also live so you hear the audience in the background laughing through the music. The cover is like three photos of this guy in his underpants with mask and a cape entrapping some topless chicks. If you see it you must buy !!!

L-Rock

without a doubt


my personal fav is "jewish princess"

 

[boneyboys]

Both of my nominations come from the often strange as hell world of metal. Single song it has to be the hidden track on Sky Valley by Kyuss - Babershop Quartet style with the lyrics "Oh baby you know that you can and will like my doo"
For a whole album it has to be Jurusalem by Sleep - a one track 50 minute long ode to smoking weed. Very hypnotic, hugely odd.

The weirdest record I own is the Drumbody.
a couple of guys invented a drummachine wich works like a theremin and on the record they explaine how it works and sounds.
real crazy record.

 

[Cleverwon]

That Dr. Octagon Kool Keith shit is fuckin crazy.

 

[Craig Gantt]

I try to stay away from that off tha wall shit but somtimes it just sneaks up on me like when i got that Outkast cd Speakerboxx, I dont care what yall say them niggas is some loney toones for rael. Love down below was alright I guess but after I listened to it I didnt kno3w whether I had just listened to a rock cd or a hip hop cd I felt used lol I didnt really like anything on the album except that I like the way you move track:dance:

Anything by Sun Ra. He really thought he was from another planet. I believe him now that I heard his music.

 

[WingsOfAnAngel]

Sun Ra!
i have a HUGE sun ra collection here. i've been collecting his music for a few years now...
got basically over 100 of his records. he was WAY ahead of his time!
and he had VERY talented musicians in his band.
long live sun ra!

 

[hookiefree]

his stuff went way over my head man. i got a 3 cd box set from BMG cuz i like brotha ah and i heard he started with him but i couldn't make any sense of it. it was mainly a bunch of clicks and space sounds. which album do u like best? maybe i just have the weak stuff.

 

[WingsOfAnAngel]

hookie, what you've heard are his avant garde lps. he has many pure jazz records, with no avant garde whatsoever.

here are some of his most jazzy ones (mostly big band):

1. 1953 Sound Sun Pleasure

2. 1956 Super-Sonic Jazz

3. 1958 Jazz in Silhouette

4. 1961 Bad and Beautiful

5. all his solo piano lps are EXTRAORDINARY.

6. 1978 Lanquidity - on a jazz+funk tip, with some disco moments. he used sampling techniques in this record!

7. he had done some great records in the 80's (mostly quartets).

8. 1990 Mayan Temples (One of the finest Sun Ra recordings from his final years. Straight ahead jazz, very bopish).

Enjoy - if you need more info, please feel free to ask!

 

[hookiefree]

o ok. i'm going to have to check some of that out then. lanquidity sounds like a winner.
