Popol Vuh – Seligpreisung [Kosmische Musik. Quadrophonic. 1973]
Now playing.
The closest P.V. came to being a 'rock' band. That being said, the album is wonderful.

Tangerine Dream – Live At Place Des Arts, Montreal, April 9th, 1977 [Culture Factory. 3xLP. 2025]
I was at this show. 48 years later, the memory still astounds me.
It's the classic TD lineup of Froese, Franke, and Baumann when they were at the peak of their powers.

Blurt – Smoke Time [Moving Target. 1987]
Jagged skronk that alternates between Beatnik cool and seriously wired hysteria. I dearly love the music of Blurt.

Splendid noisy guitar post-punk, which may appeal to fans of Atomizer-era Big Black and Loop.
"Birgir Örn Thoroddsen. Icelandic musician, producer, engineer, visual artist, and one-half of experimental electric band Ghostigital."

The latest addition to my Stock, Hausen, and Walkman library.
Samples drawn from old-timey music, surface noise, whirrs, clicks, and other unidentified sounds make for an unusual listening experience.

Various – Masse Mensch [Selektion. 1982]
One of the earliest, and one of the best art music/avant-weirdness collections.
The opening track by Laughing Hands is particularly good.

A collaboration between Jon Brooks (The Advisory Circle, Cafe Kaput, King of Woolworths, a.o.) and Tim Felton (Broadcast, Seeland).
The album is a wander through electronic fields and folk reminiscences in liminal spaces.
