I am aware of Lou Reed's and Sonic Youth's less approachable works. I've been a Velvet Underground collector for quite some time, that automatically draws in some of the "inspired by..." tunes. (And that list is surely long, given that the Velvets inspired most of the 2000s Britpop bands as well!) While that is somewhat less experimental than what I'm currently exploring, Metal Machine Music isn't that far anymore. I enjoyed the ride so far!
I think my headlong plunge into the world of anti-rhythmic noise began in 2015. My favourite album that year was ‘asia’ by boris (no irony intended!). But even so, I can only tolerate this kind of music in moderation, that's why it took me a while to get here. After listening to every recent release by the Helen Scarsdale Agency for years (which I found by accident, referenced in a weird German magazine if I remember correctly), the larger U.S. scene is just the next logical step.
