    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.

    Never let good music get in the way of making a profit.

    thanks!

    I like odd vocals too. Tom Waits comes to mind. and Tiny Tim. Poopy Lungstuffing.

    No, he should sing more like Morse, Bon Jovi, Bryan Adams and Richard Marx. All fantastic. Plus Paul Stanley and David Byron.

    Surprised to see no mention of Cromagnon's Orgasm; guess everyone digs it.

    The 20th Anniversary Edition with the extra tracks is even better!

    I imagine there are three groups: those who "dig it", those who find it impenetrable, and those who haven't heard it, or have never even heard of it. I fall into the third group.

    it's been for ages on my list.... Being just reminded of it, I reserved it through my library system.
    my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicts to complete nutcases.

    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.
