Infinite CD For Unlimited Music. as the title implies. : )
Steve Roden - Forms Of Paper: (lowercase) music, made only using paper... folding, tearing, etc...
Kuwayama / Kijima - 01.06.16: violin and cello, recorded at midnight near a highway. i'm thinking of ordering it, it sounds very nice from that i've heard. : )
Reynols - Blank Tapes: yes, as the name implies. a recording of blank tapes. (what doesn't mean silence, by the way. i like the sound of it.)
Matmos - A Chance To Cut Is A Chance To Cure: you all know this one, right...? : ) made from sounds of surgery and other medically related sounds...
*0 - 0.000: err... i'll just copy what aquariusrecords.org says about it...:
"*0 is the mathematically inclined pseudonym for Japanese puretone artist Nosei Sakata. The name of his project refers to the multiplication of anything times zero equating zero, thus giving you an idea of what is sonically in store on his fourth recording.
Sakata's first few recordings had been attempts by this Japanese artist to out-muscle Ryoji Ikeda's sine-wave and bleep constructions, with a great deal of success. Here, his minimalism achieves its purest form... With the exception of the two 1000hz sinewave test tones which bookend this recording, the tones which Sakata uses are so extreme as to be not only outside of our speaker's frequency range, but also outside the range of human (or at least my) perception. While the only two tones used are the ultrasound frequency of 20200hz and the infrasound frequency of 14hz, he does break from his harsh minimalism on one track to layer these two frequencies together. The prinicple is that when two frequencies such as these are layered together a secondary tone (somewhere smack inbetween the two at around 10000hz) should be audible. The problem is that if the speakers can't produce the frequencies, the secondary frequencies can't be heard. A noble concept, even if it doesn't really work for us

......A noble concept, even if it doesn't really work for us puny mortals / puny stereos.
(if you think that's a bit pulling your leg and a silly pretentious concept, so do i ^^)
Nurse With Wound - Chance Meeting On A Dissecting Table Of A Machine And An Umbrella:
from what i've read, this was recorded while Steven Stapleton and the other musicians didn't even know how to play their instruments... they just bought them, tried them for 30 seconds to see how they worked and then they stopped recording... - - - and now the band is lasting for more than 20 years, that first record got 4.5 stars out of 5 at AMG, and it's re-released. : )
feel free to add if you know more!

i like Ryoji Ikeda too, but for *0 i fear you'd just hear nothing and damage your speakers/headphones...

That's some bizarre ish.
I'd like to hear a Confield/Draft-esque release done just with mouth, tongue and teeth... several sets. Beat boxing, I guess.
Although it's fairly tame by today's nutty standards, my favorite ''concept'' of all is The Who Sell Out... brilliant pop songs with catchy radio jingles by The Who between them, like you're listening to a radio station.

Zaireeka... I've got some different mixes of it via MP3 and I've played around with two CD players but I've never bothered to do the whole thing... too much hassle. I'd rather have a nap.
