Just wanted to say thanks for bringing this farty little bonkers tune to my attention, I've gotten a lot of pleasure out of it.

Need I mention our old friend Maxine Swaby and her masterpiece "Pardon Me"? Might as well since it comes up in every one of these threads.

So good Kamasi Washington ripped the melody off for 'Desire'.

Maybe it's not weird enough. It's gently weird. I bought this album at the time but nothing else was on it was anywhere near as good, so I took it back and never heard the song again till finding it today. Consequently a pure pleasure with no nostalgia. 'Lost at Sea Cove' - Laura Veirs (Troubled by the Fire, 2003).

Prince's Black Album marked the end of his imperial phase, and is often credited with making him turn more religious. I think the track 'Bob George' must have been some kind of tipping point.

I'd link it but my laptop is shit.

Not so much a song as speech with atonal electronic backing, Frank E Stranges's 'Flying Saucers Unlimited' at least deserves a mention here. Stranges was, well, a strange character indeed - a fearsomely intelligent man who also happened to be a firm believer in extra-terrestrial life and even claimed to have a good Venusian friend named Valiant Thor.

This one is just a little odd.  It's a bit like an old Barry White 70s track-but with a weird twist.

Weird Nightmare by Charles Mingus. Fucking brilliant but I don't play it often.

Dolores Catherino's polychromatic compositions are equally weird and beautiful:

She's playing a Tonal Plexus (made by Aaron Hunt). Incidentally, I've just bought one of his MIDI tuning boxes to be able to do similar microtonal things via a standard digital piano. As it says at the start of the video, she's using a tuning system of 106 notes to the octave.

It's been a while since we had a microtonal thread and I've made some progress with my microtonal instrumentation (I've customised a fretless electric guitar and currently customising a re-fretted microtonal classical guitar as well as acquiring the tuning box) since the last one so it's time to start another.

Of course, the granddaddy of modern microtonal music is Harry Partch, if you haven't check his stuff out before. Here's the amazing piece that introduced me to microtonal music as well as to Harry Partch, all played on instruments that he specially built:

Haha, this is bonkers! Thanks for the link. I've heard of him but only through Beck paying tribute with a song of his own that's pretty weird in itself:

I love Harry Partch, particularly Delusion of the Fury.

I love Hans Reichel but more for his solo (?) guitar work. His early output of guitar albums are remarkable.

I love the fact that the genesis of this song was mainly to get up the nose of the Fiery Furnaces' Matthew Friedberger, whose music I quite liked (in the oughts at least) but seems to be a bit of a jerk - https://www.stereogum.com/101791/new_beck_-_harry_partch/mp3s/

Most of Kevin Ayres output was eccentric but with a disconcerting air..but ''Song from the Bottom of a well'' is just downright scary and weird as fu*k.

Top 5 in 1966. Not as weird as some stuff in this thread but it was such a big hit.

With a reverse printed label (a mirror image of the A side).

I had the single so I must have played it at some point in my youth, but I didn't remember that at all. Nice!

Kenny Rodgers - Coward of the County is a bit weird/rapey.
