peterb@HauntedOwlbear A lot of their music is steeped in the early 1970s production + the urge to be very avant-garde. Their (final? maybe?) album from 1998 is called Ça Va and was pretty much a conscious effort to get over themselves and apply their aesthetic to "hey let's make an album of pop music and not feel bad about doing so" and is thus maybe more approachable for modern audiences.
Related bands: Henry Cow, and somehow Robert Fripp was plugged into the same scene, so they're at least tangentially connected to King Crimson.
Dagmar Krause (the vocalist) has an album called Supply and Demand where she sings Kurt Weill/Bertolt Brecht songs (in both German and English) that is very much worth listening to.
