I think most people on this list would appreciate Metal Box aka Second Edition, esp. with Mr. Wobble so high up in the mix. I think of it as a map of interesting ideas that they sadly didn't explore enough. Pretty disturbing stuff but it's AOR compared to Flowers of Romance, which I heartily recommend if you want to piss off your neighbors (though I like it fine myself).

I used to use "Flowers of Romance" to end the party with..Could clear a room
Personally, I would have lived to have seen JZ or Cecil get the nod instead but I guess the U.N. doesn't dig anything that's post-bop.
I do believe that Dizzy had this job years ago. I seem to remember a clip from the '50's or '60's where he holds up his trumpet and tells reporters that he's going to introduce the Russians to the 'cool weapon.'

Just to venture a one suggestion (and it's been a
little while since I've heard ABSINTHE):
Nurse With Wound (you might ask elsewhere for rec's;
maybe HOMOTOPY TO MARIE or A MISSING SENSE; dark
atmospherics to raging noise/collage)
