I am totally jealous. I'd love to have seen them in that era (or any), that was just when Repetition was released which is overall probably my favourite album of theirs. Blonde Redhead as well are great live, although I saw them in 2007, not 1996. I remember reading that Unwound were basically the members of Blonde Redhead's favourite band as well, which is awesome.
Listening to New Plastic Ideas just now...really great album, mixing their more hardcore stuff, with a dreamy and more sparse sound.
