Which bands/artists where the most radicals of their time? The ones that couldn't be compared to almost anything released at their time.

Some that come to my mind are

King Crimson
This Heat
Autechre

The fuck are you smoking? Prog bands where everywhere in the 70s, and a natural progression from psychedelic, so it wasn't even out of place when their debut was released.

>>55428430
>radiohead
Early period was just inspired by major 80s alternative bands, later is mostly just Aphex Twin and Can influenced.

>>55428597

Had several contemporaries like Ride, Loop, Cocteau Twins and Chapterhouse doing the same thing. The noisey aspect wasn't even close to out there in comparison to no wave and noise rock.

They're not that far of from other experimental post-punk bands like This Heat, Pere Ubu and Mass. I mean, really, they could even be described as a grittier Talking Heads.

That's arguably the most normal song on the album. Closest to being a straight rock song.

It's an instrumental madness of distorted saxophones and vocals, heavy metal riffs, improvisations in free time, odd time signatures, start-stop rhythms, it even comes close to Noise Rock.
Moonchild is also pretty unique for the time.

They do, it's just that My Bloody Valentine used more noise, which really wasn't that unthinkable seeing as the genre originated in noise pop. Even Sonic Youth broke through before this, and they were way more noisey.

wrong. They worked textures like no other, took the whispered vocals drenched in reverb to the extreme, and worked with the noise/melody dicotomy like no other at the time.

Battles
Vladislav Delay


1st is a minimal post-rock band whose interplay attempts a chamber music style. Very live/rock feeling despite the looping and textures being electronic. Important is the childish but experimental spirit, that's why they are sometimes compared to the psychedelic Animal Collective.

2nd is a electronic producer who reminds me a lot of Wagner's 'infinite melody' being applied to glitch, over the background of modal jazz being applied to ambient music. Also really pretty sounding a la impressionism and wagner. And then there's this really futuristic (Ghost in Shell) vibe about the end product. Oh and it has that same juxtaposition of live/studio that Battles has except this time it's more like the studio simulating an organic drummer instead of a band being electronically augmented.

pls respond

Would be delighted if you can find similar.
