Well I think much of whats on the record was original but w/e I doubt I am as well versed in Peruvian music as you are.

I mean, El Polen is amazing and Traffic Sound too, but most of them were either following the psychedelic trend or just playing andean music. The sounds themselves were very original, but they just mixed both sounds.

Don't get me wrong, I love Polen, TS, Fragil, etc., but they don't call out to me as "innovative". "Fucking amazing", yes, but not "innovative".

PD: Where are you from to have listened to obscure underground Peruvian records from the 60's? :lol:

Royal Trux and their brother band Jon Spencer Blues Explosion are certainly worth a listen.

Scott Walker. His first four albums (Scott 1-4) are incredible, but I don't know if I would call them inovative, just absolutely genius. However, everything studio album he's released since 1995 has easily been at the forefront of art rock/avant garde and sound like nothing else.

David Bowie, specifically, Berlin trilogy. Each record is incredible pop/krautrock/ambient. Get all three, not just "Heroes" and "Low". "Lodger" doesn't get nearly enough credit, especially considering it's an early example of world music.

Others (not all, but some favorites):
My Bloody Valentine
Aphex Twin
Oneohtrix Point Never
Boards of Canada
Monks (Black Monk Time is easily one of the most underrated albums ever)
The Orb

There is so much stuff from the past that deserves credit, it would take a very long list to sum everything up....

Thejoj has a good list though, I'd also point out Black Sabbath, Aphex Twin, Autechre, and specifically from the Krautrock scene: Can and Faust.

Innovation in the last ten or so years that deserves some attention:

Gnaw Their Tongues- harsh noise and black metal and horror movie soundtracks mixed in a ambient/sound collage sort of way, all to create the most disturbing, most evil music possible.

Boxhead Ensemble- combination of group improvisation with chamber music, elements of post-rock and ambient, and traditional folk/americana sounds, occasionally with a little electronic manipulation.

Ryoji Ikeda- hyper minimal and very rhythmic electronic music, sometimes constructed from proccessed computer data (or something like that) with a tendency to be use super high and low pitched sounds that can make your ears feel very very uncomfortable, or disoriented, or just strange.

Australian artist Oren Ambarchi is a multi-instrumentalist that works within jazz, drone and ambient.

And the classic innovative Australian release is Since I Left You by The Avalanches. Hugely original and creative.

I want to get in touch with some really innovative music:

There's classical ones like Pink Floyd, Beatles, Telelvision, Sonic Youth Tom Waits etc
There's obvious newer ones like Animal Collective, Deerhunter, Black Dice, The Knife
And local ones(im swedish) like Gösta Berlings Saga, Burst, Slagsmålsklubben

I want to know about some others. You're maybe Australian, Latin American, French or something and know about a really cool, innovative band coming up. Please let me know!
