The sound of the main guitar is not really for me (is that the fuzz guitar?), but I really liked the drumbeat switches in the Boris song, and the background oooooh ooh's around 2:15 that fit surprisingly well. I can see how the Boris song reminded you of the Gigantor one. I like the sound of the main guitar better, but the Boris song is more subtle.
This one's a lot of fun though
I like that description.

Next three bands are related sorta somehow. Adam Ant and Bid were actually band mates before they split off and forming their own bands - Adam and the Ants and The Monochrome Set respectively. Yada, yada, yada ... Then Malcolm McLaren came along and sorta stole The Ants from Adam (Dave Barbarrosa, Matthew Ashmen Leigh Gorman) to back singer Annabella Lwin - forming Bow Wow Wow. Adam and the Ants and Bow Wow Wow sound similar, where The Monochrome Set takes heavy cues from their influence i.e. The Velvet Underground.

Adam & The Ants - Stand And Deliver


The Monochrome Set - He's Frank


Bow Wow Wow - Go Wild in the Country
