Power Electronics precursors

i've been listening to what can only be described as Power Electronics precursors (harsh 'lectronics, feedback et al.)
These are the ones testing my eardrums at the moment..

Max Neuhaus - Fontana Mix Feed
Robert Ashley - The Wolfman
David Behrman - Wave Train
pietro grossi - computer music
and some of this

and after that i'm a little stuck!
any more? not nesessarly classical derived

the swedish composer rune lindblad has some very disturbing stuff from the mid 50s +, that is the closest to power electronics i can think of. and some bits of group ongaku (takehisa kosugi's gutai music outfit) are brutal, that is from 1960 i believe. also ammmusic, amm live at the crypt and kluster/conrad schnitzler.

the max neuhaus radio net thing at ubuweb is amazing as well, it's not a precursor to anything but it's strange and worth hearing.

I don't fight, I run away
Stockhausen - Hymnen (Region 4) has always struck me as being proto-PE (y)

but actually I searched for "power electronics" just in order to post this...
