Drumming with electronics

I love weird seventies (or whenever really) records that consist pretty much of crazy drumming with crazy electronic sounds over the top. I'd like some more recommendations in the same vein if possible.
A perfect example of the stuff I'm talking about are this track from Michael Bundt which someone has kindly stuck up on youtube at last.


And this is a record I got the other day (I think the soundfile is still up here)

Also the Free Pop Electronic Concept album, maybe Pop Electroniques by Cecil Leuter, some of the Pierre Henry stuff (although none of these are so heavy on the drumming) - but what else?

Are they from that Zero Set album? I have got that but I must admit I don't listen to it that often. It's almost great and seems well ahead of its time but somehow it doesn't quite hit the spot for me.

I know what you're saying. I sold my copy of that record but I still have those two tracks on compilations. Just Landed Cosmic Kid remains though. Bundt is god.

Well, I don't mean to be too down on that record, it is impressive, maybe it had been built up too much.
As for Bundt being God - on the evidence of JLCK I'd agree but I've got another one of his albums and it aint that good.

don't know if this fits your criteria but my first thought was dick hyman's james brown cover 'give it up or turn it loose'.

That's about right I'd say. I love that tune.

The Space Invaders album he's got up here has some good bits on in this style - unusually for an eighties library.

Well, I guess I'm after a kind of raw psych-ey type thing. Can be drum machines as long as they are rough and primitive and the electronics are nasty and abrasive. Basically moogs make my favourite sound.

you might like my friend's band shit & shine, they release records on load and riot season and they're very nasty and abrasive, though they have (very heavy) guitars as well as electronics

Edit: i've just checked out the michael bundt thing you posted and i don't think this (S&S) is at all what you're after, sorry

that laserdance tune is wicked!

I've heard of S&S actually. I'll check 'em anyway. You're probably right though, maybe my description wasn't very good. I mean, funky, raw beats and primitive electronics that create something a bit psychey. I don't mean kind of shouty noisecore.

I'm seriously out of my depth here though - excepting the obvious I haven't heard of anyone mentioned in this thread.
Which is always a good thing..
