I'm still a recovering newbie myself, so maybe Im not the best one to
be making suggestions, but all the PainKiller stuff (Zorn, Bill
Laswell, Mick Harris from Scorn/Lull/Napalm Death) is excellent -- if
you can afford it, go ahead and get the 4xCD "Complete Studio
Recordings" box set on Tzadik, if not, "Guts of a Virgin/Buried
Secrets" on Earache is probably best to start with: lots of bashing
from Harris/Laswell, lots of shrieking (both voice and sax) from Zorn,
countered with a few more atmospheric kinds of things.
Also: if you dig Naked City and Mr. Bungle, you'll probably want to
check out The Boredoms, if you haven't already.
