Three albums not enough to train AI on?

- Vol I (AdP)

- Vol II (AdP)

- Flying Microtonal Banana (KGatLW)

I just wanted to write this comment because it will be almost impenetrable to anyone who doesn't already know.

Bunch of Balkan and Turkish music has quarter tones too. (And you’re forgetting KG and LW…)

> (And you’re forgetting KG and LW…)

Now I'm only replying because I'll take any opportunity to prop King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, which is the third item of the original three dot points.

KG = KG and LW = KGatLW = King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard.

I don't like all of KGatLW's music but, as someone who is also a big fan of Frank Zappa's extensive corpus of works, I love their versatility and their willingness to be versatile.

One of my favourite performances of KG: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MI_XU1iKRRc (I can't believe this is from ten years ago!)

You are forgetting the albums KG and LW which are both microtonal. I knew exactly what you were saying :-)

Dang, there's a gap in my knowledge. Thank you for pointing it out, this will be filled tomorrow!

KGatLW are so prolific with their releases, I've been a long way behind for a long while.

There's a short and direct line from the opening riff of LW's Static Electricity to AdP.

Thanks again :)
