A record that will definitely freak your friends – and might also freak any fan of Rod McKuen too, as it's a real surprise that the mainstream pop poet was involved in such an unusual session! The real maestro here, though, is Heins Hoffman-Richter – who works with plenty of weird electronics and tape delay to create one of the darkest, headiest albums of electronic music from the period – sounds that take on some of the avant tones of more academic electronics, yet which have a much more focused, organic quality – maybe a bit like the really weird sounds in the Kenneth Anger film Invocation Of My Demon Brother, mixed with tape effects from the world of Jon Appleton! Whatever the reference, though, the whole thing is pretty darn unique – the spookiest of spooky electronic records – with titles that include "Gidget Gets In Trouble", "Send Out The Clowns", "Milkshake", and "This Is My Beloved's Chamber". (Halloween, Out Sound)LP, Vinyl record album
The first, and arguably the best, of John Zorn's Naked City albums. The sound is extremely intense, and represents a blinding blend of influences, most of which Zorn had been showcasing in more easy going settings on previous albums. The core group includes Bill Frisell, Wayne Horvitz, Fred Frith, and Joey Baron – plus a guest appearance by Yamatsuka Eye. Hard to find on vinyl, and with the titles "Demon Sanctuary", "Speedball", "James Bond Theme", "Ingenous Ejaculation", "I Want To Live", and "Latin Quarter". (Jazz, Out Sound)CD

Powerful early work from Iannis Xenakis – and possibly the greatest demonstration of the concept of electro-acoustic you could hope to find! The mixture of sounds, shapes, and textures here is pure Xenakis – definitely at a level that's similar to some of his contemporaries on the European electronic scene of the time – but with a raw power, and almost organic sense of disturbance that's gone onto have a huge influence on years of musicians in many different scenes. Titles include "Orient Occident", "Bohar", "Concret PH", and "Diamorphoses". LP, Vinyl record album
