Here Steve Harley is again singing the same song with about forty years between the two.



Awesome!

Thanks Frank. All of those are very cool. Never heard of any of them either. Cool new music!

Might as well do the 4AD label at one time;

Dead Can Dance - Toward the Within

Hammered dulcimer sounds so friggin' cool.

Glad I could help. I found a couple out of your contributions as well.

PETTY BOOKA

 

[Feral Feline]

Guitar Player mag, long ago, would put out soundpages in betwixt its pages – these thin flexi-vinyl records contained things such as lessons, interviews, song debuts etc IIRC.

GP then had a contest and the winner would get his/her/their very own sound page. The young winner was both lauded as genius and vilified as a hack in the next month's letters to the editor.

I LOVED IT! It was fresh, it wasn't yet another hair-metal geetawrist wanking away...
It reminded me of Les Paul's experiments in multi-tracking. I literally wore out my soundpage listening to this. I was delighted to find it on YouTube...

I hope some of you like it, though there isn't much bass – even so, perhaps you'll like it as much as I once enjoyed it and can now continue to do so.




PS: HEADPHONE FREAK ALERT! Best listened to on headphones to get the full pingpongy goodness from it...

Ok, this thread is awesome. Thank you!!
First, one thing to note. This thread bears witness to an incontestable fact: No thread on TB makes it past page two without a Rush or Entwistle reference. None. Not even this one. Truly amazing.

Second, I've been drawn da weerd since a wee lad in the early 80s. But for me, the weird never meant sinister like it does today. When I think weird I think of B-52s, Devo, Cocteau Twins, Tones on Tail, and the like. Pretty mainstream I guess. I was a huge Skinny Puppy fan in the 80s. Saw them live in a small venue at the University of Washington in 1985or6. Truly a gory set that sent a few off a bit queasy. We'd never seen anything like it. But that is as sinister as I got. Nowadays the weird seems synonymous with effed-up nightmare doom rape. Not my bag baby.

So my entry to this thread will roll some eyes, but I just absolutely adore Clinic.

Interesting- I don't see much in this thread that I would consider "sinister" at all, in fact mostly the opposite! There is definitely a lot of harsh experimental music out there, but most "sinister" music I hear is more kitschy than interesting or experimental

Yeah, I probably just got too hung up on the Didges Christ Super Drum video and let my old codger's "these kids today..." sense that things have gone too far across the board get away from me.

My kitsch runs more John Waters and less Rob Zombie.

Cheers.

How Can I Forget Dread Zeppelin

I tried playing Led Zeppelin IV, backwards, three times. It worked for a while, but eventually I remembered them again...(j/k)

Forgot to add one of my absolute favorite uncontrovertibly weird modern bands, US Maple. So good!:

And a live version of two of my favorites by them, just because:
