Most Inaccessible Album of All-Time?

--- Quote from: TheFuriousWombat on 13 Oct 2007, 12:39 ---Tarentel's 'Big Black Square' is one of the least accessible albums I've personally heard. It's one 45 minute track. The first 15 minutes or so is heavy distortion played over rainfall recorded in an alley. At about 15 minutes, monotonous, repetitious drumming kicks in and the rainfall fades out. The distortion remains, coming in in waves of muffled sound as almost tribal sounding drums pound over it. At around the 35 minute mark, the drums take a back seat to the distortion once again and the song slows down with heavily distorted sound patterns and minimalist drumming. At around 38 minutes the drums drop out completely and only feedback and distortion remain for the rest of the song. It's a pretty intense sonic experience but it's certainly exceptionally inaccessible.

that sounds pretty sweet.

It's kinda inappropriate to say that a record is the most Inaccessible of All-time 'cause
a) Records and how we receive 'em depend on our own experiences/preferences/whatever. And those things are always changing like Trout Mask Replica is considered one of the most inaccessible but people really get into it even those who say it is the most inaccessible. Also what is inaccessible to one person may be considered fantastic by another person as just demonstrated before me.
b) there are always more inaccessible ones to be made.

Also there is only one copy, and I sold it to myself, who then burnt it.

All right, well, I think this point has been made over and over again. Myself included in the repetition.
So lets continue this conversation without regards to the philosophical aspects of inaccessibility.

Agreed! Can't find a torrent, anybody want to upload?

The most inaccessible album of all time is anything after you've drank most of a bottle of gin: FACT.
