1	Comicopera (2007) more music like this by Robert Wyatt More immediately accessible and warm than Cuckooland, more ambitious than Shleep, Comicopera, in three acts, is the end result of Robert Wyatt looking around and examining the craziness and wild unpredictability in real life in 2007. Knowing one man's opinion of things hardly matters, he brings together musicians from Israel, Spain, England, ... see all copies from $13.25! new only from $13.25!
2	Long Wires in Dark Museums, Vol. 1 (2002) more music like this by Alastair Galbraith / Matt Degennaro see all copies from $13.80! new only from $13.80!
3	Metal Machine Music (2007) more music like this by Zeitkratzer see all copies from $16.19! new only from $16.19!
4	Volk (2006) more music like this by Laibach A band that uses explicitly fascist symbolism (including Nazi uniforms) as part of its stage presentation is opening itself up to a reasonable question: "Are you Nazis?" And when they respond by saying "We're Nazis the same way Hitler was a painter," then they're opening themselves up to another reasonable question: "Do you mean that you're ... see all copies from $15.61! new only from $20.84!
5	Yasunao Tone (2003) more music like this by Yasunao Tone see all copies from $10.24! new only from $12.31!
6	Event (2005) more music like this by Christian Marclay/Yasunao Tone/Christian Wolff see all copies from $10.06! new only from $12.38!
7	Crackers (2001) more music like this by Christof Migone Some readers will recoil only at the idea underpinning Christof Migone's CD Crackers. Through newspaper and radio ads, he recruited people who could make parts of their body crack and pop. He recorded them and created a handful of pieces using only those sounds. So what you hear is a construction (a symphony, if you like) of cracking fingers, jaws ... see all copies from $10.88! new only from $16.39!
8	Cyborg Acoustics (2004) more music like this by Raz Mesinai Cyborg Acoustics is a spooky listen. The main piece, "Ghosts of the Gulag," is a piece composed for strings, percussion, and sampling. Dark and unsettling, it's a highly composed mixture of scraped strings and skittering percussion, with odd, underwater-sounding treatments and high-frequency clouds that appear and disappear in the mix. Between the ... see all copies from $11.35! new only from $14.22!
9	Live in Montréal (2005) more music like this by Francisco López Recorded during the same 2002 event that has yielded the Francisco López-curated compilation album Blank Field (also on Alien8 Recordings), Live in Montréal features the drone master at his best -- which may not be his most original. By then, the recipe of a López performance was well established: audience members sit blindfolded (the jewel case ... see all copies from $8.09! new only from $13.59!
10	Unit of Resistance (2007) more music like this by Raz Mesinai Just about everyone has an opinion on the state of the world post-9/11, and "sound alchemist" Raz Mesinai is no different, as evidenced by his 2007 offering, Unit of Resistance (his first album to be credited to both Raz Mesinai and Badawi). The album was inspired by Mesinai's unhappiness of George W. Bush being re-elected for a second term, but ... see all copies from $9.91! new only from $9.91!
11 view cover	Matrix (2000) more music like this by Ryoji Ikeda Some records are designed to provide a peculiar listening experience. You won't listen to Matrix very often (at least not the first CD -- chances are you'll listen to it only once), but you might be glad you did. Disc one contains "Matrix (For Rooms)," a 60-minute piece. The concept is simple: the two stereo channels are completely separated, each ... see all copies from $22.81! new only from $22.81!
12 view cover	Before the Law (2001) more music like this by Raz Mesinai Using Franz Kafka's writings as an inspirational and thematic backdrop, composer and electronica pioneer Raz Mesinai has created a virtually indescribable wonder of an album. Here, Mesinai, who is a painstaking composer -- particularly for strings and percussion -- employs Mark Feldman, Jaqueline Leclair, Michael Moser, Ralph Farris, Ann de ... see all copies from $11.94! new only from $14.22!
13 view cover	djTrio (2004) more music like this by Christian Marclay As close as Christian Marclay has ever come to conventional DJ mixing -- which is to say, not very close at all -- djTrio collects seven live performances by Marclay's ever-shifting collective of turntable masters, including Toshio Kajiwara, Erik M, DJ Olive, and Marina Rosenfeld. This is not traditional turntablism in that the beat is never the ... see all copies from $10.06! new only from $12.31!
14 view cover	Futurism & Dada Reviewed (1995) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $24.86! new only from $24.86!
15 view cover	The Bastress (2005) more music like this by Degenerate Art Ensemble The Degenerate Art Ensemble is a Seattle-based performance art ensemble that mounts elaborate shows, usually starring singer, musician and butoh dancer Haruko Nishmura (also of the Buttersprites) and involving labor intensive props, sets, projections, laser animations and everything including the kitchen sink. Their instrumental component is ... see all copies from $3.50!
16 view cover	Tap Internal (2000) more music like this by John Duncan Tap Internal starts with Duncan's beloved shortwave radio sounds, which quickly evolve into a harmonic buzzing with rich metallic overtones, punctuated with occasional slow descending electronic swoops, similar to the power chords in the final section of Karlheinz Stockhausen's Hymnen. A sudden change takes listeners to a looped and echoed ... see all copies from $19.58! new only from $19.58!
17 view cover	The Weinberg Method of Non-Synthetic Electronic Rock (1970) more music like this by Fred Weinberg The Weinberg Method of Non-Synthetic Electronic Rock is a combination of natural sounds and noises twisted and warped into psychedelia. Fred Weinberg took the sounds of everyday life and body noises to create the music back in 1968, when a task like this was incredibly hard and monumental. The album since disappeared, but was re-released in 2002 ... see all copies from $14.47! new only from $14.47!
18 view cover	Rekapitulacija 1980-84 [Bonus Tracks] (2002) more music like this by Laibach Despite their eventual transformation into one of the more entertaining and accessible groups in the industrial underground, the first few years of Laibach's career produced some of the most challenging music ever committed to record. Much like the early work of Einstürzende Neubauten or Throbbing Gristle, this is a very politically motivated form ... see all copies from $20.15! new only from $20.15!
19 view cover	Test Pattern (2008) more music like this by Ryoji Ikeda see all copies from $13.62! new only from $16.44!
20 view cover	Technocalyps [Original Soundtrack] (2008) more music like this by Francisco López see all copies from $11.40! new only from $14.23!
21 view cover	Pondfloorsample (2002) more music like this by Gen Ken Montgomery The discography of sound artist Gen Ken Montgomery runs a mile long, but it mostly consists of private releases, very limited editions, and compilation tracks. It was time a label found the guts to release a retrospective of his work and XI, the outlet of the Experimental Intermedia Foundation, catered in November 2002 with a double-CD set, ... see all copies from $10.46! new only from $18.45!
22 view cover	Oz Fritz: All Around the World (2004) more music like this by Oz Fritz Oz Fritz: All Around the World is an interesting project. Oz Fritz has been engineering Bill Laswell projects since the late '80s, and those projects have literally taken him around the world. In whatever spare time there was, Fritz took advantage and made field recordings of the street sounds and ambience of various sacred spaces. He then took ... see all copies from $10.82! new only from $15.69!
23	Footsteps (1990) more music like this by Christian Marclay see all copies from $950.00!
24 view cover	Rekapitulacija 1980-84 (1985) more music like this by Laibach Despite their eventual transformation into one of the more entertaining and accessible groups in the industrial underground, the first few years of Laibach's career produced some of the most challenging music ever committed to record. Much like the early work of Einstürzende Neubauten or Throbbing Gristle, this is a very politically motivated form ... see all copies from $23.39! new only from $23.39!
