Unusual but good music thread
- Thread starter J.E.
- Start date
The Japanese have a way of being eccentric and classical at the same time. I like this man's performance. What's it what he's doing with his hands and the laser beams?
He triggers the choir and music by using the laser beam like an electric harp. Each laser triggers a different aspect of music.
Noice. Never heard of that one before.
This one - I can't put my finger on why - is uncannily good.
The music below is not outstanding but is one of the funniest pieces I heard.
This last one is in flagrant violation, but had to be done:
My friend put this on one night while we were driving around the city. Absolutely floored me.
OK, this one fits. Friend turned me onto this band a few years ago, said they had an odd vibe that sounded like Pink Floyd meets Bruce Springsteen - and this track in particular has a strange ending. It's this droning coda that goes on and on for three minutes, has some hypnotic shoegaze overtones. I don't know what they were going for, but it works.
If I were introducing someone to strange music, I'd probably start with Pink Floyd and move onto these guys next. This track is pleasantly hypnotic and (at least for me) it's hard to notice that it goes on for nearly 20 minutes.
Dark Side of the Moon seems to deal with insanity as it's main theme. This is a much more intense version of the same thing, and makes that album look tame, I would say.

Bizarrely relevant today (just look at the cover art).
This was released in 2005:

I only ever heard that track after first discovering the fantastic Jean Michel Jarre "Oxygène" album years before. I could never understand why my gf at the time called it "Popcorn Music".
I never heard that longer version, I only ever heard the radio cut, but it's a great track. Can't decide which I like more, Under the Pressure or Red Eyes:
