Huh? What about Keith Rowe and AMM? That's a sound that goes far beyond mere drone strings and alternate tunings. And all that a good fifteen years before Glenn Branca.
It's weird that now that Rowe and AMM are finally accorded some respect in the free jazz and improvised music worlds, they still seem totally disregarded by people coming from a rock background (unless people know Rowe from his collaborations with Christian Fennesz).
