I cannot stress enough that I dont want to offend any artist mentioned or members of this forum, take it easy, peace
Credits go to whoever spent time & energy for creating this stuff, that's undeniable, whatever the creditibility/validity..

Oh, and one last thing. Did you notice the "Can" can swim?

I can be a sadomasochist sometimes listening to all sorts of avant garde and experimental music. I don’t even have to necessarily enjoy it myself. I especially like watching people’s faces day after day as they squirm listening to such “god awful, dreadful noise.” Brings a smile to my face every time.

I definitely spend most of my time around 3-4 but I've got a few happy selections that "go to eleven" for sure. I draw the line at Tibetan throat singing however... katajjaq is fine though. As a resident of North America I've gotta keep it real you know.

I can only assume you have never been subjected to audiophile jazz, stunning recordings of decent players of famous songs somehow yielding something almost, but not quite, entirely unlike music.

I tried listening to my copy "Jazz at the Pawnshop" the other night. On vinyl, natch.

I got halfway through side 1 before I started getting sleepy and took it off.

Where does Sun Ra fit on this scale?

I also noticed they completely ignored classical, and all the sub genres, I assume it's like it used to be in the largest record shops, eventually you spotted the door hidden away to the classical section, an oasis of calm.

And note that the OTT level would naturally include Xenakis & Stockhausen.

OTT.

 

[Robin L]

How about "None of the above"(i.e., Classical)?

9, I'd guess, though one might call that elietist.

Only if you can spell it correctly.

And maybe, in the first picture "classical" was left out on purpose, as it has "levels" on its own

Nah....Cage is OTT

Don't know, but thanks to your post... that's what number I'm on right now. I will have to say those horns sound like someone choking the life out of a flock of geese. LOL!

To me it looks like 1, max. 2. The fact it has space in the title doesn't necessary means it is unearthy

Thanks!

I especially like it on the acid trip colored vinyl version:

Did you listen to it?

 

[pavuol]

Did you listen to it?

Yes, and from my subjective point of view, nothing very special, progressive or experimental, sorry But I'm not saying, it is bad, I see some good polyphony, percussions/drums/cymbals, "time-development" there, and some humour too I like the vinyl design as well!
