impossible task good luck! for my money Carrion Crawler/The Dream is the quintessential osees record. But it's only a jumping off point, so much stuff out there. I also love A Foul Form for you want to just get it off your chest. Brilliant group.

and likely the microservices are dependant on the monolith they sought to replace?

The bad seeds in full flight (see tupelo or papa won’t leave you Henry) is one of musics great sounds and spectacles.
