Kickboardgirl is an amazing record. You should also pickup the H&K Transalpin e.p. on CCO.
However, I found Our Noise to be a big disappointment. I guess I had really high expectations for H&K's first full length and they just failed to deliver.
If you like H&K, you should definitely check out all the Ulrich Schnauss stuff on CCO. and generally speaking, if you like the Morr sound, you'll like CCO stuff, though CCO is sometimes a little more abstract.
As far as the rest of the Morr catalogue is concerned, it's absolutely essential that you get the first comp on the label "Putting the Morr back in Morrissey" it's possibly the best compilation i own -- truly stunning. and much better than the "Blue Skied an' Clear" comp, imo.
I also highly recommend the B. Fleischman releases on Morr "Pop Loops for Breakfast" and "Sidonie"
Morr is pretty much my favorie label. i buy everything they put out and only a few have been disappointing.
one final note -- the new Static record on CCO is absolutely fantastic! where his two previous records had a one or two really good songs, this record is just great from beginning to end. he's really hit his stride here. the record has a nice poppy feel, but it's still just abstact enough to keep it interesting and fresh sounding, imo.
hope that helps.

Been told, that H&K's Our Noise anf Kickboard Girl are must-haves. Is all
of Morr music that good?
Pardon the ignorance, it's been a while. But it's interesting to note,
upon rejoining the list after a few years, the first messages to pop into
my box are the "Is IDM dead" threads, and the obligatoriy arguments
surrounding its definition. Hilarious and sad, all at the same time.
