"Non-mainstream" does NOT necessarily equal "avant-garde". In reference to Lindsey, it's just damned "quirky".

The Beatles' "Revolution #9" is avant-garde. Lou Reed's "Metal Machine Music" is avant-garde. There is nothing REMOTELY "avant-garde" about anything Lindsey has let the public hear...not even the leaked material we now generically call Gift Of Screws. If he truly HAS recorded "avant-garde" material, I'd LOVE to hear it.
