US Maple = total fucking godhead.  The best "band" in years and years.
Bar none.  Sang Phat Editor is literally maybe the best experimental
record of the 90s.  I love laddio bolocko (considering that's where this
thread started), but they are babes in the woods next to these guys.

Didn't think the IDM list was where I'd find their fans, though =).

Might want to look into the Starfuckers, more specifically their new one,
"Infrantumi."  Even more disconnected/deconstructed than the above, though
not nearly as staggeringly brilliant.  Has more in common with Pan Sonic
than "rock" as one might envision it, though their older material has
at least some coherence (and is much weaker).

Might note I don't share the enthusiasm for storm & stress that you seem
to have...  though maybe I should go listen again.
