classic shit. their early 80s stuff blows away their later 80s stuff.

Something tells me you may get some replies when more of us middle-aged post-industrial geeks wake up and wipe the dust from our eyes.(they know who they are).

Leichenschrei is one of my favourite LP's ever. And also it's worth checking out Auto-Da-Fe, which has got some of their really early stuff from the late 70's on it.

And we all know what Graeme Revell is doing now don't we?

I never heard much SPK, and can't remember any of what I did.

I quite liked Test Dept though, and my love of Einstuerzende Neubauten is well documented.

To be honest, great as SPK were, their greatness was brief, unlike TD & EN. They made some fantastic records, signed to EMI, made some shockers, moved from EMI, made a few good records, then Graeme Revell started making lots of money composing film music. And yes I did buy this:

Machine Age Voodoo! The title should have been a clue!

Up until Zamia Lehmanni (Songs Of Byzantine Flowers), one of my favorite bands ever. Not into their dancier stuff at all. They definitely made some stellar records, and pioneered a visual aesthetic that many artists have been heavily influenced by.

situationist/nihilistic aesthetic, I would say... OK, 'Zamia Lehmanni' is not a raw proto-punk,post-industrial work like 'Auto-Da-Fe' or 'Leichenschrei', but... isn't it one of the greatest ambient albums ever? It's fucking amazing...

Yes, Zamia Lehmanni is an incredible album; one of my favorites in fact. It was after that that they strted to slide into cheesedom.
