I've checked out Conrad's work with faust - v. good. Being hugely into Krautrock I'm already acquainted with Schulze's Irrlicht, early Tangerine Dream, Mittelwinternacht etc etc. I've also listened to Steve Roach.
Basically, who can point me in the direction of some proper drone similiar to the above?? I dont want Drone-Pop, Indiedrone blah blah - I want real Mind numbing Drone.

Pauline Oliveros, one of the pioneers of electronic music, tape experimentation and hypnotic drones, probably one of the influences on Tangerine Dream, Claus Schulze etc. Here's an early piece of droning electronic music:
YouTube - Pauline Oliveros - Bye Bye Butterfly (1965)
Phill Niblock, composer and filmmaker, interested especially in textures of sound and density. He collaborated with many composers and musicians among which are also Lee Ranaldo and Thurston Moore.
YouTube - Phill Niblock - Tow By Tom (live, Hamburg, 17.04.2009)
Glenn Branca - You probably know him; dense guitar symphonies, noise and drone
YouTube - Glenn Branca: The Ascension
Windy & Carl - Not really pop or indie drone, but more like drone-like ambient/cosmic/post-rock
YouTube - Windy and Carl - 03 - Elevation
Also, I second bob's suggestion of Zoviet France and Coil, but I have to check out some of the stuff he posted too
