* Band on the Run -- "Mrs. Vandebilt" -- Band on the Run (Smack Shire, 2003)

This is really twisted (and really cool): a glitchy, sample-art version of Paul McCartney and Wings' "Band on the Run" album. Done mostly by two guys named Don Fleming and Tom Smith, who recorded their own vocals, distorted and tweaked them, then added sound-collage elements all over the place.

* John Bischoff -- "Piano 7Hz" -- Aperture (23Five, 2003)

* Nathan Hubbard -- "Don't Look Says the Crow (I Don't Believe You)" -- Skeleton Key Orchestra (Circumvention, 2003)

Really exciting large-band project out of Southern California. Long, schizophrenic tracks that include noise, loud electric guitar, quiet improv breaks, and yes, some honest-to-god straight jazz!

* Alexander von Schlippenbach -- "Straight Up and Down" -- Broomriding (Psi, 2003)

Ornette Coleman -- "Civilization Day" and "What Reason Could I Give?" -- The Complete Science Fiction Sessions (Columbia, 2000; orig. released 1971)
