Mike already mentioned the compilation, which is actually "X X Section"
(Xtreme Cross Section), but I don't think it's actually the best intro, as
it concentrates more on noisescapes rather than the incredible rhythmic
interplay and instrumental arrangements that, to me, defines Extreme's
unique style. They do have another compilation coming out soon though, I
hear. Hopefully it will be more balanced.
Here's what you should get, in order:
1. Paul Schutze - New Maps Of Hell
2. Shinjuku Thief - Bloody Tourist
3. Muslimgauze - Zul'm
4. Mo Boma - Jijimuge
5. Muslimgauze - United States Of Islam
Hafler Trio is good as well. My favorite is "Kill The King". Very drony.
Emphasis on textures more than melodies/rhythms/arrangements. Bear that in
mind.
