I hadn't realized Guillaume Perret & The Electric Epic were on the site. They'd certainly make my list.

DCD, Swans, Ghost Rhythms, Anna von Hausswolff, Alamaailman Vasarat, Magma, & Kotobel would all make my honorable mentions list.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword
