Ege Bamyasi is the first one i got by them, its great stuff. Listenable and catchy sometimes, but it really sounds like nothing ive ever heard before with screeching guitars and vocals over a hypnotic beat. I heartily reccomend it to anyone with even a passing interest in the origins of "Post Punk".
I also have Future Days, the title track of which is a truly amazing piece of music, and its last 30 seconds contain stuff that sounds like a piece of modern dance music. When you think this stuff is over 35 years old its incredible, how good the reissues sound and how their music has influenced people over the years. But the main thing ive got out of those albums is not their importance, but that they can HYPNOTISE you with the rhythm they create.
