Skip them all. Try to find these: Listen Up with Cabaret Voltaire The Covenant, the Sword, and the Arm of the Lord Drinking Gasoline Microphonies (for Sensoria). Unfortunately they are all out of print I think. sigh. Some of the ones you noted are decent ambient techno, but nothing like the above. The best of the ones you've mentioned is probably the conversation. --- the humble abbott arthur purvis set his hand hereto.

Just to present an opposing point of view, I would heartily recommend "The Conversation", "Living Legends" (early Classic CV era tracks) and "Plasticity" over "The Covenant ...", "Drinking Gasoline" and "Microphonies" any day. Especially to a curious IDM list member (who would probably be more atune to the recent trilogy Techno releases than to the mid-80's work). - Greg

I just realized that some of Sweet Exorcist's (RHKirk) C.C.E.P. samples vocal sample experiment/loop/beats from George Kranz's "Bass drum da Bass drum" from 1985 (Personal Records). This record is really a slight forage down a path of electro that I wish I could find more of. It's like if Zap Mama were robots or something...layered vocal patterns that are catchy and probably as unique in 85 as Clonk's Coming by Sweet Exorcist in 90 was.
