As with Briks, it's cool to see his music taste expanding.

Hmm, that's kind of hard but here's a few that don't necessarily sound like us but influenced us quite a bit
Spoiler for Long List:
Keiji Haino & Tatsuya Yoshida - New Rap
White Suns - Prostrate (sounds like us)
Masayuki Takayanagi & Kaoru Abe - Mass Projection
John Cale - Stainless Steel Gamelan
Evan Parker, Han Bennink, Derek Bailey - Topography of the Lungs
This Heat - s/t
Derek Bailey - Improvisations
Peter Brotzmann Octet - Complete Machine Gun Sessions
Captain Beefheart's discography, mainly--you guessed it--TMR
The Thing - Bag It!
Zu - Carboniferous
Pivixki - Gravissima
Jandek - Indianapolis Sunday
Sun Ra - Strange Strings
The Residents - Meet the Residents
Renaldo & the Loaf - Songs for Swinging Larvae
Massacre - Killing Time
John Zorn - Spy vs. Spy
The Flying Luttenbachers - Trauma


Also, our music is similar to John Coltrane's free jazz such as Ascension in the way it kind of builds but we take it in a different direction. We also have a pretty big no wave influence on albums like Indecent Vibrations and Bay Beef: A King. Hope that helps.
