Various Artists: Ocean of Sound

 

Genre: Various

Dates: 1950's-1990's

A guided tour (by docent David Toop, who wrote the same-titled book that this serves as a companion to) of the lengths human beings have gone to in experimenting with pure sound. From silence to screeching guitar feedback, from animal utterances to intelligent machines, Toop covers all the bases. Highly recommended to youth who are tired of conventions and want to turn music on its head-or to cynics who think they've heard it all.
