You already know how good can vegetables taste.
But do you already know how good they can sound?
No? So you don't know
The Vegetable Orchestra!
Have a
look at what they can do.
Now, enjoy a better sound with their album
Onionoise.
Then, let me see, this guy is crazy, it is a beatboxer which works with a looper and some instruments.
There are so many videos about him, from playing just with bottles to doing some serious EDM, all live, improvised, with a looper.
So, just
one video, it starts with some EDM, then he makes some of his old numbers, and finishes with the bottle.
But, do not underestimate him! Not everybody goes
on stage with Bobby McFerrin and Chick Corea!
Now again some more "serious" stuff. I am very surprised that nobody here mentioned Gastr del Sol.
Here
some tracks from one of their best albums.
And here
a full album, a bit more experimental.
Similar but different, Tortoise.
I liked very much
this album.
But
this song from their other album TNT is fantastic.
Then, somehow similar to Captain Beefheart, at least in their old works, are Pere Ubu.
Similarly as for Captain Beefheart, I was never able to listen to Pere Ubu for more than half a minute without skipping song.
The second track of
this album (starting at 3:36) is the only one I really like.
I know this may not be really inviting.
But he is a genius and deserves to be investigated. You may like it much more than I did.
Here a few more modern (I think) songs which are listenable.
Here something crazy (well, all what he makes is crazy) and actually funny and, well, I like this.
Well. The category "unordinary" is a bit dangerous, because everybody would put there his favourite artists.
I for example think for SURE, that Robert Wyatt is absolutely extraordinary. One of the best music artists ever.
I like almost everything from him, but I will give you two things.
Moon in June is what I have listened at first. It is, actually, still from the Soft Machine, the Canterbury Progressive Rock band he was singer and drummer in.
If the link does not work, you can try this
alternative version (not as good as the studio one, but almost)
From their last album together with him, Third. The first time I have listened to this song I was young and stupid and I have thought it was horrible.
I have left it aside for two years.
Than one day listened again, fallen in love, bought everything from him.
Starting from his
masterpiece, made a few time after he is fallen from a window, breaking his spine and paralysing forever his lower part of the body. No more drums.
Also extraordinary and weird (for some people, not to me) but already more poppish are Cocorosie.
And I would not feel ok if I would not mention Portishead.
And Antony and the Johnsons.
Both with extraordinary voices of a powerful emotional intensity.
