Various – Masse Mensch [Selektion. 1982]

One of the earliest, and one of the best art music/avant-weirdness collections.

The opening track by Laughing Hands is particularly good.

Hintermass – The Apple Tree [Ghost Box. 2016]

A collaboration between Jon Brooks (The Advisory Circle, Cafe Kaput, King of Woolworths, a.o.) and Tim Felton (Broadcast, Seeland).

The album is a wander through electronic fields and folk reminiscences in liminal spaces.

John L. and Adamah – Lonesome In Overdrive [Green Tree Records. 1996]

Psychedelic trance music that travels the spaceways alongside Kalacakra and the Third Ear Band. It's so very enjoyable. I can't get enough of this sort of thing.

Chuck Wendig. The Staircase in the Woods. 2025

The concept caught my attention, like doorways appearing where they shouldn't, the idea of stand-alone staircases in isolated locales captures the uncanniness of liminal spaces.
