While the music hasn't clicked with me yet I have to say, the group itself I find very interesting. Interesting enough that I'm willing to put in some more time to see if I can't enjoy them more!
Try Duck Stab/Buster Glen. It's very digestible, yet by far one of their best works.

Give it a few listens, then, if you like, return to Commercial Album(which is very similar, but way more difficult for a starting listener seeing as it's 40 one minute songs). If that pleases you, Not Available is a good place to go.

Terence Hill, as recently confirmed during an interview to an Italian TV talk-show, was offered the role but rejected it because he considered it "too violent". Dustin Hoffman and John Travolta declined the role for the same reason. When Al Pacino was considered for the role of John Rambo, he turned it down when his request that Rambo be more of a madman was rejected.
Al Pacino = God
