Clear but rather simplistic.

For a good little essay defining outsider music by Irwin Chusid see
http://www.keyofz.com/keyofz/after/

my top 10 outsider musicians (in no particular order)
1. The Shaggs
2. Wayne
3. B.J Snowden
4. Congress Woman Malinda Jackson Parker
5. Wesley Willis
6. Lucia Pamela
7. Shooby Taylor 'the human horn'
8. Y. Bhekhirst
9. Bingo Gazingo
10. The Legendary Stardust Cowboy

Ian has already plugged the SAN cd but here is a link:

For those interested there is also an Outsider music discussion list. 
More info on this can be found at www.keyofz.com

By the way I'm very glad to see a discussion of this here. I consider 
outsider music to be a branch of sonic art. All of the artists I have 
mentioned above, in my view, present the impossible and the 
unimaginable in sound.

Anyone have any thoughts on outsider electroacoustic music? or outsider 
sound art?

cheers
