°DR(DR)ONE°

Here is very interesting band from France DR(DR)ONE. Guys made amazing sounds with electronics, sax, guitar and drums. I think, this is perfect example, when four men on one wave made dynamic and diverse drone-music. You can see, their live-show is really impressive:

This is an unreleased album from 1974 by French krautrock band Ilitch which is pretty droning. A brilliant mix of Krauty space groans and experimentalism (see also Conrad Schnitzler and Ash Ra Temple, etc) and the progressive electronics of Igor Wakhevitch.
Like other 1970s European electronic rock artists from Heldon to Conrad Schnitzer, Ilitch owes more to the avant-garde experiments of Stockhausen and Xenakis than to the rock and roll of Chuck Berry or even the Beatles. Ilitch came out of France, was the work of mostly one person, Thierry Müller, using unconventional guitars as well as keyboards and other electronics to create strange textures and sounds. Müller was a photographer and graphic artist from Paris who started making recordings in the early 1970s using prepared guitars, harmonium, and even using the tape recorder as another instrument.

°We Have No Zen review°

"Musically Wrist people insisted that they were playing drone, and their first release confirms it — as we may hear droning bass, definitely droning didjeridoo, sax&guitar drones.. do the drums drone there also? Worth checking."

°Rhys Chatham - "Outdoor Spell" 2011°

A new record by Rhys Chatham who is more famous for his minimalistic and sweeping "Guitar Trio" and "Crimson Grail" concert for 400 guitars, but here explores unusual drones and noises created with trumpet and delay pedals. It sound really like a rare thing does now in realm of avantgarde or drone music.

Here is one track to feel the taste of this outstanding work
