Hi, I noticed your comment above about how you like the steel drum sound, and I'd really love to know what you think of this song by Portico Quartet http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auSDaWl-Fmg They use a recently invented instrument called a hang that has a very steel drumy sort of sound, but is unique in its own right. Also, because it's one of my favourites, and seems to fit your description at the bottom of your post (strange instrumentation, unusual time signatures, vocals that abruptly shift pitch), try this great song by Battles on for size http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uv38m36-nsU
I could probably throw music at you for ages, but I'll stop there. Hope to hear back from you.
