Rec me intricate and challenging albums
I'm basically into scarufficore bullshit but I want to try finding music from somewhere other than there just since I feel like doing that limits me.
pic related only posted because it is a challenging album (or at the least it is an unconventional album in a lot of ways), I'm not trying to imply anything about it or whatever, it's not the point of this thread so please don't get hung up on this. If you don't think it's good or challenging I really don't care.
probably you should move into mozart
Enjoy dis
The Crazy People - Bedlam

Give this a couple listens all the way through, if you enjoy what beefheart was trying to do it's similar, although not musically

Hey OP, check out Starsailor and Not Available. I know they're scruffy-core, but you may enjoy them nevertheless. I recommend checking out his list of 8.5s if you haven't already. There's a lot of rather obscure stuff in his 8.5s section, and there's tonnes of albums too. Here's a sample from a cool, challenging, non-scruffy-reviewed album:

I highly recommend checking out obscure music blogs. I usually just search for an album I like and then go on a blog that has a free download of that album and then I check out the bloggers other posts. Sharethreads can be pretty good occasionally as well, particularly if you're not familiar with the folk musics of the world or jazz music.
ok

I've listened to most of Not Available, I heard it first back when I got music from youtube recs but at the time it scared the shit out of me, now it makes more sense but I'm still not totally "in" to it. I have been wanting to download it though so I'll probably do that. I'll also check out Starsailor (you're talking about the Buckley album right?).
And yeah I've been checking out both 8s and 8.5s as well, I've heard some good things from these, I just am trying not to get desensitized to unaccessible music since I feel like I'm getting to the point where that's exactly what I want to hear (and when something you've never heard before sounds exactly like something you want to hear then interest in those albums eventually fades, I feel like).

intricacy =/= complex musical theory
