Drat! I always miss the fun discussions. Anyway, here are some of my favorite oddball selections for the 90's:
Cocteau Twins "Heaven or Las Vegas" - dreamy, hazy guitars + some woman singing gibberish lyrics!
Pixies "Trompe le Monde" - Bizarro World Nirvana? Songs about aliens, brine shrimp and Alec Eiffel.
Curve "Doppelganger" - Redefines "Wall of Sound". Dream pop with all amps turned to 11.
Laika "Silver Apples of the Moon" - Electronica + marimba/flute/etc. + whispered vocals?
Broadcast "Work and Non-Work" - More electronic stuff, lots of analog synths + cool airy female vocals.
Pram "North Pole Radio Station" - Even weirder electronic stuff, lots of theremin/chimes/horns/whatever added.
Stereolab "Emperor Tomato Ketchup" - Electronic French Pop etc.
Flaming Lips "Clouds Taste Metallic" - Off-kilter alt rock from crazy Oklahomans.
Nick Cave "Henry's Dream" - More of Nick's tales from the dark side of humanity.
There is plenty of good music, you just have to search it out.
