Incredibly Strange
The name says it all.

Sounds Of Love …A to ZzzzThe sounds of a woman getting it on with a Moog. This is either one of the best or one of the worst records I own - I’m just not sure which…
Listen

James Joyce: Finnegans WakeYeah, it still makes no sense.

Hammond State School Performing Group - Taking It To The StreetsFrom Louisiana, this mid-80’s recording by the very active performing group (there live appearance schedule on the back proove they may be the hardest working mentally handicapped band ever) has something for everyone. Rock, pop, disco, r&b, country & of course, zydeco.
While i find the title track awesome, those that have listened rave about Material […]

Masses In Time Of WarThere are soooo many privately pressed lp’s of various church services, sermons, masses, church choirs, etc… that trying get a handle on them would probably cause your mind to literally explode. Not that anyone would really care to though, ’cause the sounds found on the vast majority would probably put even the most hellishly hyperactive […]

The Laughing BearThis man really isn’t a bear.

Gertrude Behanna - God Isn’t Dead!Here is the “highly personal story” of Mrs. Gertrude Behanna, a story of alcohol, drug addiction, three broken marriages and attempted suicide. Just look at Gertrude, doesn’t she exude the aura of misbehavior and a youth gone wild?! But who am I to know. Maybe God healed her visage of all that was ugly and […]

Inside SINA, the Society for Indecency to Naked AnimalsThis is easily the funniest and most inventive non-standup comedy LP I’ve ever heard. It’s a one-joke record, but what a joke and what a execution. It never gets old. The basic idea is that all animals […]

Kit Ream - All That I AmI’m finishing this up at about 3:30 AM Pacific standard time, a perfect middle-of-the-night moment to finalize my thoughts on the infamous Kit Ream - All That I Am LP on Creative Records from 1978. Catalog number MW001. A “Waxidermist’s” wet dream.
What started for me a few years ago as yet another late afternoon work-break […]

Al Washi – Epitaph for an EgoSome people might already be familiar with this from my previous discussions of it, but there are still heads to be turned and this album is rather ripe for Waxidermic attention. This record cloaks itself in a thick smoke of mystery: no record label or date and it is even kind of unclear who the […]
-
ACT/Inter-ACT “PAEAN”Perhaps the most peculiar release on SKYE. It poses the listener with the question “What good is a cutting edge computer company without a pride inducing company song book?” On this record you will find songs with titles like “Hail to the IBM” and odes to IBM’s then president Thomas J. Watson to the tune […]
-
Chevrolet Sings of Safe Driving and YouChevrolet’s hilarious attempt at promoting safety for young drivers by singing about the laws of motion and centrifugal force, among many other automobile-related things. If you ever wondered what it would sound like if Belle & Sebastian were around in the 60s making music about driving, well then today is your lucky day. […]

Victor Uman - The Celestial Visitor From Planet WisdomThis comes to us from ‘The Scientific Peace Builders Foundation’ out of Santa Monica, CA. On side one, narrator Charles Evans explains to us how the world is and always has been: war, power struggles and greed pitting human against human, racism, disease, etc. Side two has the nasally voiced alien-human Mr. Uman explaining how […]

The Living Word As Quoted By SusiePossibly the most f*cked up album I own. Listen, but don’t say I didn’t warn ‘ya!
-
Luie Luie - TouchyVoted the most talented solider in the US Army, Luie Luie is one brilliantly demented guy. This is a concept album of sorts about “dances” known as “Touchys” that involve, you guessed it, touching people. Some may disagree, but Luie believes that “It is a wonderful idea for people to get together and touch.” Although […]
-
The Now Sounds Of Today (Columbine)The year and location of this record are ambiguous. However, apparently, this is apart of a series of recordings where a songwriter would submit their work through mail order to have their works performed by a professional singer. The singers on this compilation are ones named Marie Bain, Kay Weaver and Ralph Lowe. The women […]

Jackson White, MD: Deep RelaxationI’ve had like a million of these mind control/relaxation/meditation records, but for some reason I like this one better than most. Maybe it’s the guitar accompaniment. It’s also kind of unintentionally funny because he must say “deeply relaxed” about 300 times over the course of the 2 sides.

Ford Lile: Track of the ScarabTotally bugged out (no pun intended) album that Douglas recommended to me recently. Ford Lile manages to sound, mystical, erotic, and really creepy all at the same time - which, to me, seems like no small feat! Imagine if Barry White had taken a Paul Horn style career turn and ended up dabbling in new-age […]

Richard R. Stuart PH.D: Surgical Anatomy Vol.3Though this record is spoken in my native English (I think), I really can’t understand a damn thing he says on here. I guess these were to be used as teaching aides for Doctor’s who were learning how to cut up bodies and stuff. I really hope no one had to resort to dropping the […]
-
Pauline Anna Strom - Trans-Millenia ConsortWow, here’s a new discovery for me. Pauline released this album in 1982. Every track on here is nice and mellow and spacy. Despite being blind, Pauline manages to channel Eno in every track making this one of my favorite new age albums. My favorite track on here is “gossamer silk”, sublime stuff.

Sounds of the Junk YardAnother one I don’t have. I cry.
