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 directionand 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)

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
