Abstract albums

Hey everybody, I wanted to reach out and see if I could loot your heads for help on a new project.

I've been listening to surreal music 24x7 to find material for my next mixtape, and wanted to ask y'all musically-enlightened people what your favorite abstract music is... say, the top 5 albums that give you that kind of feeling. I wrote a list on this once, in case anybody doesn't know what I mean by "abstract," you can check it out here.

Anybody who suggests music that gets used, I'll definitely be mailing you a free copy of it.

Thank you guys a lot, keep 'em comin if you got 'em...

yeah Baltimore Sun, I'll have it up as a free download on my website - don't think I'm allowed to post links but anybody interested in finding it, just google search Gasoline Monk. I got a site I put most of my work up for free on.

Jay P, word up on Godspeed - I've been going through their whole discography in preperation for this. On my last mixtape I flipped a Godspeed song. If you look for that track, it's called "Cardboard Graveyards" - and the Godspeed song it samples is "09-15-00 (part one)"
