Particularly true with microtonal acts like King Gizzard and Angine de Poitrine inching ever closer to being fully mainstream. Her material should be properly available again and she should be getting credit for all the acts musically indebted to her pioneering work in alternate tunings.
I think a lot about why Wendy Carlos’ albums are out of print and her wonderful website is now reserved for having a friend of hers tell people to leave her alone. It’s so fucking heart breaking what the world does to trans women

...which is how it should be for an experimental pop release. "Sour Cherry" flirts with melody, with what sound like clarinet and feedback given equal footing. "For My Lover and the Gum Trees" and "Tender Chaotic" embrace it fully with lush microtonal harmonies. A surprising and poetic release.

I'd list the 2017 output of King Gizzard into this, and they did it perfectly *five times*:
* Microtonal krautrock/Anatolian rock
* Triple EP of space rock prog
* Lounge/jazz collab with Mild High Club
* Polyrhythmic prog-psych
* Grab-bag of wildly diverse off-cuts that absolutely did not suck

What are some albums where a band or artist did a big genre/style shift but it fucking ruled instead of sucking shit?

Microtonal music uses intervals smaller than a semitone, such as 24 EDO, but this scale has intervals larger than a semitone (over a 3:1 octave instead of a 2:1 octave, in en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohlen%...) so I figured I could call it macrotonal.

if i ever do like a proper vocal synth release like the fandom does it, i'll have to specify what genres the voice is good for. and those are, in lem's case:
pre-soviet anthems
some witches wailing
furry (yes its a genre shut up)
microtonal pop
