Don't forget about Final, _One_ -- Justin Broadrick's solo project of
ambience recorded over a period of several years. Naturally, it is very
much like "Pure II".
I do not see the connection between "Download" and this material. IMO,
"Download" follows from the Industrial roots of Throbbing Gristle and
Psychic TV, and perhaps artists like the Hafler Trio. The material may
arrive in similar terrain, but traveled from different directions to get
there.
