He emerged through the 'no-wave' era but his music really doesn't belong to it, there's a vast electronic influence to it. He's done quite a few collaborations over the years (including ones with Lydia Lunch and Nick Cave!) but these works really stick out as something special to me:
1985 - Nail (Scraping Foetus off the Wheel)
1988 - Thaw (Foetus Interruptus)
1995 - Gash (Foetus)
2001 - Flow (Foetus)
I know there's other fans here. Let me know if anyone needs an up, I've got most (?) of his work.

Aw yeah! Huge fan here. J. G. Thirlwell is one of my favorite musicians. Have you ever seen him live? He f
ucking kicks ass!
I totally agree with the four albums you picked as being among his best though I like
Hole a little better than
Thaw and
Love about as much as
Flow. Do you get into any of his other projects, LS? Steroid Maximus and Wiseblood are especially good. If you don't have them I'd be happy to hook you up.
Do you have
Deaf by chance? That's the only regular Foetus album that I don't have.
