# I saw them in a tiny theatre,
converted from a medieval tollbooth, and supposedly haunted. They turned off all the lights and played relentlessly for 45 minutes solid. Everyone was practically in shock by the time the lights came on...

# well ive not got the ground zero stuff through yet
but if its anything like the solo stuff i can imagine its a good way of erasing peoples minds or shattering their souls either way it must have been an intense 45 minutes

# few ideas...
Try anything by Jim Plotkin (sometimes "James"), since I mentioned him. HHe's done stuff with Scorn and the Young Gods, loads of his own stuff, and even a Black Sabbath tribute album! (he did start off in thrash metal)

I assume you know John Zorn / Naked City?

GOd... there's loads of good weird shit out there... what kind of direction are you heading in?

# im not really heading in any direction
and i dont know any of these artists at all
i was just reading the bbc website regarding a gig called turntable hell, it sounded interesting so i went on a search for some of the artists, i could only find Otomo and Janek Schaefer in audiogalaxy so ive just been grabbing random tracks

i like the eerie soundscape type things
but im also a bit partial (although its hardly avant garde) to aphex twin's more difficult tracks, and squarepusher. but im not really into electronic music that much really.
I prefer jazzy weirdness - frank zappa on one of his odd days really - weasles ripped my flesh is a fantastic album. Very strange jazz but it did have a rhytem and what you could call a tune (lots of odd key signatures though, and it jumped around a lot).
so i guess i like stuff that has a bit of a tune or rhythm thats got real instruments.

actually, what i like is stuff that sounds good and interests me, and that can change from minute to minute :)
(ie im listening to Otomo at the moment, but ive also got abba and the pizzicato 5 in the playlist)

# LOL just got some ground zero through on audiogalaxy
i thought "this is gonna be interesting"
it starts up... a beat.. i thought "mmm ok"
then.... a rapper starts up
i thought "what the fuck????"
a quick search on allmusic later and there are 2 ground zero's :)

# oh yes... you're on my wavelength.
I have an extremely varied collection, but Frank Zappa is one of my all time heroes Tom Waits, in a different style, is another.

I'll give you some more ideas later... (it's time for tea nad Auf Weidersehn pet
