Listen to the show below!

Artist	Track	Album	Label	Year	Notes
Mad River	Amphetamine Gazelle	Mad River	Capitol	1968	Haight-Ashbury–aligned psychedelic rock with strong blues, folk, and country influence. Formed in Ohio in 1966 before settling into the California scene. Early example of how experimental late-60s singles could be.
Psyco on da Bus	Many Questions	Psyco on da Bus	Comet	2001	One-off collaboration involving Doctor L., session players, and Tony Allen. Often labeled afrobeat, though the sound leans toward acid jazz and jazz-fusion with sparse vocals and instrumental focus.
Darkleaf	Eclectic Storm	F… the People	Ubiquity	2002	West coast group working in abstract hip-hop. Emerged from the Unity Committee's breakup in the early 1990s. Part of the lineage that also produced Jurassic 5, though with a very different sonic identity.
Boyd Rice	Hatesville	The Way I Feel	Caciocavallo	2000	Industrial pioneer with roots in early punk and RE/Search circles. Satirical piece using a calm vocal delivery over an exotica-styled backdrop, reflecting his fascination with provocation and countercultural themes.
Zombie 619er	Eternal Measurements (feat. Koobatoo Asparagus)	Android Masters	Self-released	1996	Lo-fi electronic work regarded as an early ancestor of cloud rap. Dreamlike production and heavy ambience shaped partly by tape recording qualities.
El Stew	Vintage	No Hesitation / featured on Planetary Natural Love Gas Webbin' 199999		1999	Track highlighted through DJ Pica Pica Pica's disorienting, stylistically varied mix. AKA Yamatsuka Eye, a major figure in Japanese noise and experimental music circles.
Caspar Brötzmann Massaker	Bohmen	Black Axis	Marat	1989	Noise rock rooted in ideas associated with totalism and minimalist offshoots interpreted through amplified rock instrumentation. Berlin-based collective led by Caspar Brötzmann.
Peter Brötzmann, Fred van Hove & Han Bennink	Einheitsfrontlied Part 1	Einheitsfrontlied (single)	FMP	1973	European free-jazz trio interpreting a 1930s labor movement song before launching into their signature abrasive improvisation style.
Mal Waldron	Space Walk	Up Popped the Devil	Enja	1974	Dark modal post-bop with a brooding, meditative quality. Sits apart from contemporary trends in jazz fusion, spiritual jazz, and free improvisation of the era.
