I'd add a few in here; the 80s weren't as dead as some folks think, just
more buried (although admittedly some of these are peripherally spacerock,
they all show at least a strong influence) ...

Metal Urbain (France) - any
CHROME (US) - 'Half Machine Lip Moves' or '3rd From The Sun'
Wipers (US) - 'Youth Of America'
Inner City Unit (UK) - 'Presidents Tape'
Butthole Surfers (US) - 'Locust Abortion Technician'
Viv Akauldren (US) - hmmm ... not sure which one offhand ...
F/i (US) - 'Out of Space/Out of Time' (archival CD)

Something by Chrome is especially essential IMO - no spacerock library
should be missing out on that fantastic band.

Great list, overall ...
