I may be late to the game but I just found this group Sigur Ros...f*ckin amazing. The sound is so trippy, and the way the vocalist alternates between high and low tones and plays that electric guitar like a violin is crazy..
and whatever he does at 6:15..:eek: :eek: Just otherworldly..
This video got me interested in other "off the beat" or experimental artists..Any suggestions?

Not really.
Funny how to a general dance folk around here everything that's slightly different from what they listen to sounds unusual or weird. Sigur Ros and especially Radiohead are good, but nothing unusual. When it comes to uncommon and unique, I guess there's nothing more unique than Krafwerk and Throbbing Gristle (for their time).
These days I'd say the most unusual electronic musicians, except standard names such as Pan Sonic, Autechre, Fennesz, Akufen, Herbert, Mouse On Mars, Modeselektor, are artists from Touch and especially Raster-Noton label. For example here's an excerpt from one of their albums: "Dataplex is the first musical composition in the datamatics series, a new body of works by Ryoji Ikeda that explores the aesthetic potentials of data by using data itself - from its transparency to its materiality, from its ultra-speed to hyper-diffusion. The project derives the hidden constants of data-ness from the vast data ocean that ranges from DNA and the everyday world to the universe and pure mathematics". This doesn't sound musically very interesting, but I don't think there's anything more unusual out there.
Imagin
Id have to say my first to mind is the Blue Man Group.
Chimney
Sopor Aeternus and the Ensemble of Shadows <-- Doesn't get weirder.

pffff what a noob!He just discovered Sigur Ros lol! Yes they are amazing though. My personal favorite album is "( )" but i think that all of their albums are equally excellent
Now search for other post-rock and neo-shoegaze groups such as Mogwai, Godspeed You Black Emperor!, Explosions in the Sky, Caspian, Hammock, 65daysofstatic, The Evpatoria Report,Ef, Port-Royal, Lights Out Asia,M83, This is Your Captain Speaking etc.
And here are some cool somehow relative recommendations.
