I agree with Chatham that most of the interesting music to come out in the past 12-10 years was in the dance scene. Alex, the psychedelic 90's DID happen, just not on MTV or the radio.
On one side of a 12" by Ectomorph (a year 2000 Interdimensional Transmissions reissue of 4 Detroit electro tracks from '95), the track "Skin" plays normally from the outer edge of the record halfway to the label, then ends with a (silent) locked groove. The track "Last Days of Skylab" begins at the label and plays halfway to the outer edge (the music isn't backwards, only the groove), and also ends locked. In the 1/2-inch-wide, plain vinyl band between the two tracks, there are two locked single-grooves that play simple rhythm loops. The four "tracks" must be played by lifting the cartridge and lowering it more or less precisely onto the starting (or single) groove(s).
Yes, I've heard of this record, had forgotten the artist though.
And I have an LP which plays one of three different recordings depending on which groove the needle hits. I think it might be a John Giorno project with William Burroughs, Laurie Anderson and others.
