Swans because I'm predictable. Link between No-wave and industrial rock/metal. Compared to what other "no-wave" I've heard, I think Filth sounds less academic and more emotionally charged, even if said emotions seem wildly negative and jaded.
This thing is absolutely awesome. Actually it reminds me a lot of Pere Ubu. Is it normal? Is The Modern Dance no wave, too? It gets my thumbs up, or whatever it is called, anyway.
Edit : oh, OK, I just re-read the rules. +1 for Buy by James Chances & The Contortions, then.

i would say Pere Ubu is indirectly connected. When Rocket From the Tomb split up, some of the members formed Pere Ubu and others went to form Dead Boys. Although Dead Boys are clearly a punk band, they were stationed in New York when no wave was forming. it's said their song 'i need lunch' is about lydia lunch. _________________ I AM A CRACKED MACHINE
I won't have access to a computer before two weeks, so my only way to listen to new music is Deezer on my phone, and I must say that more than half of the albums suggested here weren't on it. I could find Branca's and Lunch's debuts (but not The Ascension and the other Lunch album suggested by harkan, for some reason), and Primitive Calculators' self-titled. That's not a lot, but that's not bad either. I'll listen to Lydia Lunch's debut now.
It's interesting. I've never had a lot of interest in the No Wave music scene, aside from latecomers like Sonic Youth and Swans, and the general philosophy of the music. Glenn Branca was great though.
But many of the visual artists and filmmakers who came out of the movement are among my favorites. Tony Oursler, Tom Otterness, Barbara Kruger, Kiki Smith, Mike Kelley...etc
This may be a music discussion, but you guys should check out the artwork related to the movement. Really amazing work
It was really strange. Kind of a half-instrumental album full of super noisy "It's Oh So Quiet". It sounds good but I'm not super convinced. It was really unlike anything else I've listened to anyway, I guess it's no surprise if I don't like it at first. I'm just dropping it here to see if some people have listened to it.
