The Glands

Clock DVA Thirst
Noir influenced jazz industrial stuff. Pretty dark, pretty unique.
The band the Box who were the other players than Adi Newton here are very undersung too.

D.A.F Die Kleinen Und Die Bosen
I think the 1st 2lps by these are both pretty undersung. Think that most attention is spent on the bodybeat duo stuff isn't it?
Die Kleinen Und Die Bosen is like a hardcore lp with electronics or something. Always had me thinkking of driving around a town like Berlin at night too.

Gun Club Miami
my favourite of their lps. I think most attention with these is given to the 1st lp which I think is widely cited as influential on various psychobilly and garagey bands.
Miami is the next lp, features the same line up as the first one, though Rob Ritter the bassist is uncredited because he left before it was released. He was replaced in the live line up by Patricia Morrison though she doesn't get into the studio asa band memeber until Las Vegas Story.
lp is more country and more psychedelic than the debut. I think the cover image is very evocative.

Savage Republic Jamahiriya
One of my favourite lps to listen to while tripping. Seems quasi cinematic in its depiction of driving through deserts etc.
Penultimate lp by the 80s line up since they cut Customs on some time off in Greece during a European tour. I like that lp too.

John Martyn Inside Out
lp improvised wjhile Martyn was seriously drunk I think. Think it tends to be eclipsed by the previous lp Solid Air.

A one-off band from ten years ago I still listen to, and I may be the only one, is Michael Dracula

3AM nightmare disco rock, like early Chromatics, HTRK, Celebration and the also excellent and forgotten Veronica Lipgloss and the Evil Eyes. Rowland S. Howard couldn't produce everyone like this, but I love that basic sound, and Michael Dracula are my favorite execution of the style. Looks like the principal Emily MacLaren is still doing good stuff as an engineer and producer:
