I blame Wynton, what was the question?

It's quite difficult for me to think of examples of this. Sure, there is plenty of stuff that I don't like but I wouldn't describe any of it as impenetrable.
Please don't ask questions, just use google.

Surprised to see no mention of Cromagnon's Orgasm; guess everyone digs it.
Hell, they ain't even old-timey ! - Homer Stokes
The 80s technology altogether, including Metheny's horrid-sounding pseudo-trumpet tone, plus Coleman's wheezy-sounding sax just made this one a tough listen for me.
I find a lot of free jazz impenetrable. Another good example is Sign Of Four with Metheny & Bailey. It sounds like a lot of plinking and plunking, with occasionally interesting percussion. For some reason, though, I'm able to enjoy things like the DVK Trio and any stuff that I've heard from Berne. I really like Prezens, and Torn/Berne's successor Sun of Goldfinger (which I've only been able to hear on bootleg since they've apparently never recorded).

Probably "Force The Hand Of Chance" or "Dreams Less Sweet". Both came as double sets (in their original pressings), the first with "Themes #1" and the second with the limited 12' "The Full Pack". And musically they are more calm and esoteric than most Throbbing Gristle stuff.
Can't remember the audio quality but I wasn't able to digest that album as well. Got it as an autobuy upon release and I remember having listened to it 2 or 3 times all these years. Too noisy and rather meaningless without anything substantial happening beneath the cacophony. Will relisten today, as you've mentioned it, and see what will come out of it... But I don't have high hopes it might have turned to something of interest.
