Absolute classic in my eyes. I actually made a thread about this band a while back but, alas, it garnered no replies. Glad to see this, I discovered them during my explorations into the murkier depths of Krautrock (They're English, I know), in particular Limbus 4 (with whom Amm share a similiar musical approach I think), and was blown away upon my first listen of AMMMusic.. I suppose the reasons I love this album so much are the egoless and non-idiomatic manner with which the group plays quite standard instrumentation - and the ways they meld this with altogether stranger audio manipulations. To me it's free improvisation sounding its most threatening, if you can survive the album's duration you best be prepared with a dust pan and brush - because your brain will be all over the shop come the end.
