Ramleh

^ Definitely not fit for Prog Electronic in PA, via their samples above (drone noise simply, as you've said).

I'll bring these guys to the PET, but Sheavy, cool it with the PE suggestions. Not only can I not check all of them so quickly but you're swamping the electronic boys.

Sorry for the late feedback Sheavy, but we both turned this one down a long time ago. I'll be sure to better the updates in these types of things

I understand your confusion, but the thing is that both Philippe and myself have decided on being very choosy about these sorts of projects. Yes we've included a couple of these artists because we think they were, in some cases that is, part of this movement, but as much as we'd like it, they're still a very long ways from being what PE is all about. If we start including all of these artists, we'd be changing the perimeters of the PA genre to something completely different.
It may be progressive, but that doesn't mean it fits in here. If so, we would have The Future Sound of London, Orbital, Trentemoller and Infected Mushroom up in here.
Please take into consideration what Philippe has written on the front-page of PE and do try to look further than the small notion of droning.

Indeed, surely this album might come closer:

In France, we say that polite people don't say "I want", but rather "I would like".

Anyways, that's the same old problem with industrial bands: too far from the rock tradition, too radical from the 70's electronic music (even from Faust or Neu!)...

They've never been evaluated by psych/space so I'll add them to the chart, but I doubt them belonging here at all. Obviously different than what I thought three years ago. All of the 80's releases are essentially power electronics/noise (some of the best), the album Grudge For Life is noise rock with vaguely psychedelic touches from what I remember. Blowhole and Homeless I think fall into the same category but I haven't heard much from either album. Be Careful What You Wish For is certainly the most promising followed by Boeing which returns a bit to the noise rock but with much more of a psychedelic approach, and then Valediction is a return to the power electronics sound.

I have to disagree that later works were focused on psych rock. I think it's much more focused on noise rock, the exception being BCWYWF. Much of their 90's noise rock did have quite a bit of psychedelic and kraut influence, but it's not the same thing.

I highly doubt it'll fly especially seeing as Skullflower, which shared members with Ramleh, had some releases on Ramleh's label, and was much more convincing as krautrock influenced psychedelic rock imho, were rejected.
