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
