Heh, probably my friend mentioned above's gateway into techno.

un-fucking-wound!
went to see a friend's band play, and they were supporting unwound upstairs in a tiny pub with about 35 people there. i had no idea who unwound were at the time, and it was one of the most mesmerising 45 minute periods of my life. intense and hypnotic in equal measure.

Oh... you want "hipster"?
1920s... Dude invented his own instrument... and ummm... He was Born Again Folk Rock, before it were cool in the late 70s for 10 minutes.
He didn't even need to create more than 18 songs before he dropped the mic.

They (I think it's actually just a "he") did sort of occult ambient/industrial not unlike something along the lines of early Current 93 or Coil...the record is REALLY spooky, mostly drumming, some gamelon-like stuff,and occasional flute. I fell asleep listening to it on headphones once and I had the WORST nightmare I've ever had in my entire life.
Oh. And in the liner notes there is also this disclaimer:
All instruments to be heard on this album were exclusively made from human bones and skulls by the hand of Zero Kama.

Youtubed it. Thanks for the Eyes Wide Shut flashbacks....

lmao
Speaking of weird instruments... These guys play on trash... literally. I think their fans invented "worm pitting" I can't be sure. Basically a mosh pit where everyone just flops on the ground like fish running into each other. I never participated.

Metalface, I'm fond of MFDoom and I love that album from Atmosphere. How do you like Dr.Octagon as Kool Keith?:
El Ray is a great surf rock band from Sweden:
People remember just that one song by Was (Not Was), but they had all kinds of music, in a variety of genres:
And I also enjoyed their spinoff act, The Boneshakers:

Nobody seems to know this guy even though he did the smartest hippest post-punk around before anybody did post-punk. I can't say enough about his first two albums. After that it gets a bit commercial, but REALLY check this out:

After that Kool Keith released a couple of albums as himself "Matthew" and "Spankmaster" which were really pretty bad. He did do "Masters of Illusion" with Motion Man and Kutmaster Kurt which I enjoyed a lot. Oh, one obscure Kool Keith LP that was really awesome was the Cenobites EP. Kool Keith, Godfather Don, Bobbito (from the legendary Stretch Armstrong and Bobbito radio show).
