Albums that are physically/mentally/emotionally exhausting, yet highly recommended?
Jun 14, 2010 at 1:56 PM Post #31 of 155
Now see, I'm that odd cat you've heard about, the one who luvvvs hisself some Beefy and the Magic Band, but isn't one of Trout Mask Replica's partisans. It's too unwieldy or sump'n. Start talking about Mirror Man, Shiny Beast (Bat Chain Puller) and Doc At The Radar Station, though, and yeah, I'm right with you.

Thought by now someone would chuck in Trout Mask, an album I've loved since 1969 but one it took me a fair while to finally 'get' all the music on it. Once got, tho, whoooooooooooooo boy. Perhaps one of the best albums of all time :)

With you on Mirror Man, tb....you heard Grow Fins?
Despite my love of TMR, my desert island Beefheart would be have to be Strictly Personal. Gimme Dat Harp Boy still has the capacity to get me being highly embarrassing on the dancefloor any time I hear it, so I guess 'exhausting' may fit, lol.
 
Anyways, before we turn this to a Beefheart love-in,  I'll also add Verklakte Nachte (sp?) by...um...oops, can't think. Keep thinking Schopenhauer but obviously not! Golly, my memory's gone on the blink....Blimey, I'll have to google it (the shame.....).

Funny, I was listening to disc 2 of Grow Fins while typing that last post. Some of that live stuff is killer.
 
Here're some other (non-Beefheart) recommendations:
 
Ornette Coleman - Body Meta
 
Ornette Coleman - Dancing In Your Head

When I think of exhausting, noise art albums pop into mind. They exist outside the framework, or the references are deeply buried. As in Sheer Hellish Miama by Kevin Drumm. It can be work to listen to something like it but also deeply rewarding of course.

x2 on that period of OC's music - really beautiful stuff.

Schoenberg....
 
dammit.
 
Hey & Dancing in Your Head..... I'll bet your record collection is simpatico with mine (or vice versa).
 
I would've thought Free Jazz, but I don't find that tiring at all.

Could be…it's funny, Free Jazz is one of the first Ornette records I heard, but it's never been the one from that period I return to alot. Really dig Ornette On Tenor and the streamlined Ornette!, where the rhythm-section gets kinda linear and OC seems like he could spin out choruses forever.
 
Another disc I forgot…
 
David S. Ware Quartet - Third-Ear Recitation (not one, but two deconstructions of "Autumn Leaves")

When I created the thread, I had two albums in mind:
 
Converge - Jane Doe (2001, Metalcore/Mathcore/Post-Hardcore)

Celeste - Jane Doe (2008, Screamo/Sludge Metal)
celeste-nihilistes-2007.jpg

I second the mention of Converge - Jane Doe. That album melted my brain the first time I listened to it.
 
Exhausting listens as of late, yet very rewarding:
 
The Ruins of Beverast - Foulest Semen of a Sheltered Elite
Teitanblood - Seven Chalices
Kerasphorus - Cloven Hooves at the Holocaust Dawn
Demolition Hammer - Tortured Existence
Proclamation - Messiah of Darkness and Impurity
Manticore - Bowels of the Holy Anoint Us In Evil
Meshuggah - Chaosphere

I have to agree that the former album is rather exhausting and yet quite compelling too.  Never heard of Celeste; must check it out.  Kind of looks like the same model on both covers btw.
