What got you into avant-garde and experimental music?

My induction into experimental music and avant-garde was pretty gradual. I began listening to progressive music such as Rush, Dream Theater, and An Endless Sporadic. From there I more or less "trickled" my way into different subgenres of metal. I began listening to "out-there" bands like Guilt Machine, Therion, and Diablo Swing Orchestra somewhere along the way. I didn't really start actively listening to avant-garde until I found Blotted Science and Sleepytime Gorilla Museum by mistake, which managed to completely break my view of music in such a way that it could never be repaired. Since then I've been far more receptive to experimental stuff.

I wouldn't say "into" just yet, since I have a lot of learning to do in the way of jazz. But I ended up liking it solely at the hands of:

https://haydenwho.bandcamp.com/album/candles-mixtape

This guy does everything remotely related to jazz. He usually pulls it off, and Blue is one of my favorite albums. For anybody who likes avant-garde, I recommend him.

His album Candles is very experimental. This occasionally gets in the way of the progression, but the jazz loops are so weird and cool. The whole album maintains a dark feel. Manner steers more towards ambience, but retains Candles' experimentation. Blue is an acid jazz/nu jazz instrumental hip hop album. So, yeah. That's pretty awesome. Replacement Skin mixes more ambience with the album, and Absent and MPC Tape go back to Candle's heavily experimental style, except better.

It's because of these albums I starting liking avant-garde/experimental albums more.

My introduction was the Rock-In-Opposition of the late 70's and early '80's

(the 5uu's is from 1994)

^I really should have nominated you for "Best Taste".
First it turns out you're a zeuhl fan, now this.
AvantProg/RIO is one of my main genres.
