SPK - Zamia Lehmanni: Songs of Byzantine Flowers Since I referred to SPK in the Roberto Musci post, I thought I should post Zamia Lehmanni which was the first album I heard from the industrial/ambient milieu, when I was still in school. I guess there's nothing new to be said about this masterpiece; the mix of dark ambient, industrial field recordings and African/voodoo voices and percussions is sublime. 1986 LP on Side Effects/1992 cd on The Grey Area of Mute.
