Curver – Sjö [Ullabjakk. 1997]
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."

Matt Wand – Hands Of Hair [Hot Air. 2020]
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.

Hintermass – The Apple Tree [Ghost Box. 2016]
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.

John L. and Adamah – Lonesome In Overdrive [Green Tree Records. 1996]
Psychedelic trance music that travels the spaceways alongside Kalacakra and the Third Ear Band. It's so very enjoyable. I can't get enough of this sort of thing.

Chuck Wendig. The Staircase in the Woods. 2025
The concept caught my attention, like doorways appearing where they shouldn't, the idea of stand-alone staircases in isolated locales captures the uncanniness of liminal spaces.
