What are some characteristically strange songs? - Songs that tend to fall into their own genre, or just don't sound like anything else you've heard.
Baroque pop - Pop music rendered with classical instruments:
Not sure which genre this would fall under, other than electronic:
The interesting thing about the song is that the lyrics are simultaneously in English and Japanese. It's English words transliterated into Japanese kana, then pronounced using a heavy accent.
Incognito:
Enigma is the definition of characteristically unusual.
O Superman:
Laurie Anderson probably falls somewhere under avant-garde. A lot of the instrumentation is improvisational stuff from custom instruments she has designed.
EDM with a message about environmentalism:
Every song generally had some sort of environmentalism theme. Too bad the group only produced two albums.
Halcyon + on + on:
The song sampled lyrics from the above group, Opus III. In fact, Orbital was vastly similar in some ways.
One of those strange, B-side pop songs to which I never understood the meaning of the lyrics:
Electronic verve:
