We're gonna call this one 'smarties.' The idea is that these musicians knew EXACTLY what they were doing, and how innovative they were being. German groups like Can and Faust set out to make revolutionary music, and 'mericans like Fifty Foot Hose and Chrome were working with exciting new technology to get new sounds. A lot of these folks are the 'art school' crowd...lotsa glam-rock and experimental stuff.

NOTES:
I can dig some of the art-rock stuff alright...not the biggest Roxy Music or Bowie fan, but it just wouldn't be right to leave that stuff off the proto-punk list. I really like Can and Faust...more than most actual punk music. There are also some obscure tracks like the Electronic Hole (father of the American Taliban guy) and Jonathan Halper (unknown artist who did soundtracks for Kenneth Anger films). For those who don't know, the 101'ers is Joe Strummer's first band, and the Les Yper-Sound track was the basis for the 'Futurama' theme song.

can this whole huge thing be re upped?
i'll work on it...might be a couple weeks, but i think i still have all the original comps we made.
Oh wow--I just saw that you responded--well, hey if it's not too much trouble, this is quite a nice comp you have assembled here and this sort of music has been of great interest to me of late---well, thanks either way---I'll check back
