Probably the best place to start. There's a lot of long form drone-based psychedelic free improv jams in the BSC catalogue (Tremaine and Beatty from Hair Police and Mike Shiflet are all over releases from 2004 onward); don't know if that's your thing or not.
Yeah, Mes Soldats Stupides is a fantastic compilation. I Wanna Make A Supersonic Woman Of You and The Act Of Sitting With One's Own Ass are two of my favourite BXC tunes. Whole compilation is great, but worth it for those two tunes alone.
As for the albums, Operator Dead...Post Abandoned is probably my favourite. Huge krautrock influence, full band performance (Shiflet, Tremaine, Beatty), really great stuff. The collaborations with Hototogisu are in a similar-ish ballpark, but heavier, rawer and wilder.
Challenger is another good one. Shorter tracks, arguably a bit more focussed, calmer overall with a bit of dreamy atmosphere.
Really great project - doesn't get talked about enough these days.
