This is about as avant-garde as it gets. The only trouble with the free form jazz rock fusion thingy is that you often sail a fine line between intellectual geniuses and a bunch of pretentious twats. I’m sure there are people who could maintain valid arguments for the Mars Volta sailing on either side of the line. Still I rather enjoy a bit of free form noodling, but then again I am a bit of a pretentious twat myself. The perfect antidote to AC/DC.

Robert Wyatt: Comicopera
I’m never sure what to expect from a wheelchair bound cornet playing drummer from a late 60’s avant-garde jazz rock fusion band (Soft Machine). Comicopera is in fact a gentle musical landscape with something to also provide a bit of interest for Howard Moon from the Mighty Boosh.
