AMM - AMMMusic (1966)

This album was recommended by Skaligojurah and he had some interesting things to say about it:

They never rehearsed, never spoke to each other, and that was including during performances. There was no preparation, no planning, simply music. Instruments range from everything from prepared piano, to violin, to transistor radios, to household items. If anything is the epitome of what Avant-garde stands for as a concept it's AMMMusic.

Not only that, there's a certain very compelling dramatic effect to the way AMM puts things together(or falls into place, rather). It's some of the most unnerving, eerie music I've heard in my life, and the way it just transitions from phase to phase so smoothly brings deeper into it's own dark atmosphere.
