i'd recommend _cardiac strain_ if you can find it - although an easy way of 
jumping in the pool hip-deep would be to get _substructural penetration_, a 
double CD of comp tracks in his various oeuvres, although it does tend to 
the noisier side of things.  if you find the _shiroseasons_ comp (shirocoal 
recordings), it has a very nice and subtle (long) aube track and some nice 
work from kiyoshi mizutani (rustlings and drones, almost this-listy), small 
cruel party (organic, crackly noise), and daniel menche (playing his 
trademark Anvils-of-Hell in a somewhat reflective mood).

aube is interesting until you begin to realize that he's essentially a 
one-trick pony; some of his tracks, especially the noisiest and quietest are 
good and can hold my interest, but i find that the vast majority of the 
stuff he puts out is just dull as a post.  in short - (start loop)(increase 
volume slowly for 10 minutes)(stop first loop)(start second, similar loop, 
let run for 2 minutes, end track).

i hear that the vinyl LP on alien8 is good.
