Techno Animal - any good stuff?

I've been getting right back into The Bug of late, and I'm toying with exploring Kevin Martin's extensive back catalogue. Thing is, he really seems to have done rather a lot. I'm particularly interested in his stuff with Techno Animal, but they seem to have almost twenty albums.

That leads me to wonder; which ones are the good ones? Can tehy al be worth listening to? Assuming you like that sort of thing, of course...


Any recommendations for further listening beyond that welcomed too. I'd be interested in a 'what was the good stuff' rundown of the works of free-jazz metal-heads God too, if anyone feels up for sharing.

i love the techno animal lp 'Brotherhood Of The Bomb'

http://www.discogs.com/release/69584

the best tunes on it for me are Piranha feat toastie taylow, we can build you (feat EL-P & vast aire), Sub Species, glass prism enclosure with apc & the brutal closing tune 'hell' with Dälek)

loads of nasty bass on this

My favourite albums from the legendary Techno Animal are (in no particular order): Symbiotics (album with Porter Ricks), Radio Hades, Babylon Seeker, The Brotherhood Of The Bomb, some tunes from Re-Entry & Ghosts aaaand definitely their mightiest 12"- DEMONOID! :n:

Too bad that they don't make tunes and do gigs no more :(

The compilations he did for Virgin are wicked as well - Macro Dub Infection vols 1&2 should be essential for people here I would think. :D
