Mainly because of the first, self-titled album.
It was such a rough, strange collection, and ran the whole gamut from quiet, creepy barely-music that had obviously been recorded at 3am in a dismal tenement ("Music Like Escaping Gas") to complex hi-tech proto-jungle masterpieces that startle even today ("24 Track Loop").

After the subsequent maxi-single ("Health and Efficiency") and their signing to Rough Trade, things went downhill rapidly - that gig is from their twilight.

I suppose it was an unfair clip to use, but seriously those guys must have been so off thier faces
they were in another dimension to the rest of us. But, I will give you the 1st album as it was indeed strange, and I like strange :-)
