A few of my favorite bands:
Faust: Very industrial sounding. I have most of their albums from the 70's (I
have the first two on vinyl, the second with the paintings that accompany the
music). Very weird mix of actual songs and Stockhausen-ish sound collage and
noise. Faust IV also has a reggae track on it. Reportedly, when these guys
toured in the early 90's, they actually used a cement mixer onstage. Apart
from a live bootleg tape, I haven't heard any of the 90's recordings by them.
