Captain Beefheart: Trout Mask Replica
Probably the best known of all of Beefheart's albums, Trout Mask Replica is well regarded as one of the most experimental "rock" albums ever made, and was described by critics as an album that most conceptual artists would "get". At first, this album may seem to be extremely poorly organised with the vocals out of time with the rest of the band, all the instruments playing out of key and the lyrics meaning nothing beyond pure madness. It's got some very lo-fi production to-boot.
Upon repeated listens the patterns emerge and you realise this album is the aural equivalent of a Dali masterpiece; perhaps not traditionally nice to look at, devoid of any rhyme or reason and incredibly playful. But like a Dali painting it also displays an incredible technical prowess, although never for the sake of it (keep in mind this entire album was written out by Beefheart in musical notation). Funny that Beefheart makes reference to Dali with the track "Dali's Car".
With this album Beefheart has created his own musical language. If you laugh the first time you hear this album; good. Humour and absurdity are an important part of Beefheart's music.
Regardless of what your favourite type of music is, I'd still reccommend this album as it transcends most catagorization. All you need is an open mind and Trout Mask Replica could change your perspective on music.
Tough but rewarding.

Alan Watts
I figured I'd post something really out there this time.
This man is Alan Watts. He's a philosopher who combines Eastern and Western Philosophy with scientific knowledge. He really puts things in perspective. He's funny, and he never preaches. He just voices his view on things.
12 discs, 14 hours at 32Kps.
Honestly, this guy has changed my perspective on so much in life, definitely worth your time.
Can't recommend it enough.
Don't worry, I'll get back to posting Jazz Fusion soon enough.
