Sorry to be a pain again, but Blues Control don't do this avant noise of yours. I'd hardly even call them experimental, 'cause they use (and if you listen closely you'll HEAR it) repetitive riffs that are then mixed with looped 'noises', probably processed with a computer or one of those machines in vogue these days. That way of working with mixed drone/noise/blah blah has been proved and tested by people like Philip Jeck, amongst others, before. Their propension for repetitive riffs in a psychedelic rock format is something that many an underground rock band from England did ever since the mid-80's. Great band all around, though.
