Have to agree w/ Photon46 alot of music that initially seems totally alien, disjionted or unfathomable can later seem perfectly logical - like just plain good or great music, (Varese, Ruins, Beefheart, Univers Zero, Area, Morton Subotnick). Can't say that yet about some of the stuff released by Cecil Taylor, Derek Bailey or Anthony Braxton.
David Holland - Conference of the Birds

Free Jazz improv of bird songs at dawn, in the jungle, etc. Truely amazing stuff.
Captain Beefheart - "Trout Mask Replica." This is supposed to be one of the 100 best, whatever, according to Rolling Stone. I think it's really twisted, don't get it. I'll probably try to get through some of it again someday, but don't know why. Hmmm, maybe I'm the one who's out there?
Find an LP called MC 900 foot Jesus with the track "Born With Monkey Asses" . Very strange, like a mental hospital rant with a back beat.painful and foul.
A performance of The Whale at Ravinia about 12 years ago. The flautist sings through the flute to make a very odd whale like sound while others make keekoo keekoo sounds in the background. My wife and I still joke about that performance. It was very strange. Does anyone know where a recording of this can be found? I'd like to have it just for fun.
