As a point of discussion, for me the genesis of post-1977 lo-fi means the Fall, like the first half of "Spectre vs Rector", "WMC Blob 59" (very Dead-C like) and the "Totale's Turns" version of "New Puritan". Before them, I would say that some stuff on the first Amon Duul I LP, "Psychadelic Underground", is equally as influential...as well as some very early Throbbing Gristle stuff. But for me, the killer real lo-fi stuff is very early blues recordings - technically "wrong" recordings, but with so much power.
