No Comment's "downsided" EP on slap-a-ham is the most articulate going insane record I can think of. The lyrics are absolutely incredible, especially considering the guy only gets an average of 25 seconds per song to get the point across. Maybe that's why it's great.
The music is no joke either. Great band.

John W. wrote:Hey, what about Skip Spence's 'Oar'? That's a breakdown album if I ever heard one. Beautiful, though.
I second this, John W. I listened to this so much last spring as a soundtrack to my own crazies. My associations with it being a soundtrack to hurty-heart craziness are too strong to pull it out regularly anymore.
Which is too bad because it is a fantastic piece of work.

The Songwriter by Arthur Doyle, solo free sax & singing, listening to it always makes me feel like I am painting in a room that lacks proper ventialition

Exact same thing for me happens with Chris Bell's 'I am the Cosmos' <shudder>

Several months ago, on the first page of this thread, Angus Jung wrote:There are several Jandek records that would fit the bill.
Skip Spence's "Oar."
That double live Fushitsusha CD would work.
More later.

Ha! I searched for "Skip Spence" but I didn't search for "Skip Spence
's" and therefore didn't see it turn up in this particular thread -- totally busted! I should've read the posts more carefully.
