Anywho, my favourite of the Flying Nun bands is The Pin Group. Dead C are amazing but I wouldn't call them a Flying Nun band as only one of their 20 or so albums came out on that label.

yeah it's awesome!

I've been listening to the compilation of everything Wreck Small Speakers done recently, Michael Morley's band before the Dead C - weird as fuck, and of course not well recorded, but it's well worth a listen for Dead C fans I think.

Pin Group are really great, at first I thought they were a bit too similar to Joy Division but repeated listens blew that out the water, much more to them than that. I think Dadamah, though, is probably my favourite thing that in any way involves Roy Montgomery. http://www.kranky.net/artists/dadamah.html

As for where to begin, the first bands I heard on this label were Bailter Space and The Gordons, although they're not really representative of the "Dunedin Sound" the label is known for. I'd just start with The Clean's Anthology, one of the best fucking things ever.
