Whenever I saw the Mego label on an album, it immediately added cachet, maybe partly because the distribution of these albums wasn't caught up with demand in the early '00s. Terribly young. RIP.

A tribute compilation to Peter Rehberg of Editions Mego is now live. All payments go towards continuing the work of the label. https://t.co/5m07APQeyv— Ned Raggett (@NedRaggett) January 26, 2022

Pita – Get Out. The third track is one of the greatest pieces of electronic music ever made.

Agreed about Get Out, that's the place to start. His first CD ("Seven Tons For Free") is also great. And it's not a Mego record but Rehberg/Bauer is top notch laptop noise, particularly Passt.
Apart from those two Pita records, to me the essential Mego is (1) the first two Hecker CDs, (2). General Magic "Fridge Trax", (3) Kevin Drumm "Sheer Hellish Miasma", and (4) Russell Haswell "Live Salvage". That's more the noiser end of the Mego spectrum but there is also good melodic stuff like Tujiko Noriko.

Anthony Child's Electronic Recordings from Maui Jungle Vol. 1 is an absolute essential.

agree with nphominoid, and would add the two Farmersmanual albums, the Ilsa Gold retrospective and the Mori/Parkins duet
