CAT rear end now!!! posted:Got Civilization by FLA in the post today and listened to it on the way to work. That's got Vanished on it, right? I think that's when the melding of all of the FLA side projects really coalesced into something polished and nuanced (mature, maybe?). I'll have to dig the disc back up.

So unequivable the name of the game is to win all the way FLA were a lot of things, but master lyricists not so much? I only really listen to Tactical Neural Implant, and never really had much interest for anything that came after. Sonically, it's a nice slice of early 90's dance floor stomp. Lyrically ... eh. "Mindphaser" has some cool ideas, but then that chorus hits and I always think he cribbed it from discarded Puppy sessions.

Yeah. Ogre pulls off semi-nonsense lyrics in a way that seems artsy and deep in that "I guess I'm just not tuned in enough to get it" sort of way. Bill Leeb's lyrics are straight retarded.

Ogre had a few eye rolling turns*, especially as of late. Stream of consciousness style stuff is usually scoff worthy, but he gets away with it I think when its combined with the sound sculptures those boys pulled off in their peak. I've liked the odd line here and there from the latter material, but (to me) lyrically nothing can touch that Too Dark Park and Last Rights material. * "Assimilate" is probably one of my favorite classic Puppy tracks, and up there in favorite songs in general. However, every time I hear it I still think the "rot and assimilate/so hot to annihilate" sounds weird. I think it's just his use of hot there that makes it sound cumbersome. And we'll not discuss his rearranging of history to afford a rhyme for Kent State (at least he corrected himself in later live recordings). hatelull fucked around with this message at 22:15 on Jun 1, 2011 |

Might as well post this here since I already uploaded it for my friend to check out: This is a quick thing I made in Rytmik on my Nintendo DS at 3 AM last night. It's pretty much just a fistful of sounds and ideas I fiddled around with yesterday, but please say something about it, especially if it's negative  This is the first time I'm trying to make this kind of stuff on this particular software, so personally I was pretty pleased with the sounds I managed to get out of it, especially since the program is mostly geared towards the various subgenres of electronic dance music.Now, I'm pretty much a horrible novice when it comes to making music at this point (I've never even tried to properly learn how to play a guitar outside of school, although I do know something about keyboards) but I've always wanted to express myself and I have a multitude of ~ideas~. Said ideas involve a lot of industrial-ish and noise-ish soundscapes that I'm kind of hoping I'll get around to making into at least some kind of tracks in the summer when I finally have more free time. My brother and I also have a kind of a noise project we sometimes fiddle around with for fun, and it's growing more and more certain that we're gonna play a short gig in the summer. Gonna be my first public musical performance ever, and although it won't be until July and there's likely gonna be like 20 people attending, I'm already starting to feel nervous about it...

The album itself was a Big Deal due to Fulber's return

This album is loving amazing, it's past 2 AM and I just listened through it the third time in a row. gently caress. Every other FLA album I have (Caustic, Millennium, IED) is loving lame compared to this even when just a couple of days ago I thought they were pretty cool. Please tell me they have at least some other FLA albums more like this. I've got Tactical Neural Implant coming in the mail but now I'm afraid I won't care about it after listening to Civilization.

I'm afraid they're all completely different beasts. There's nothing like Civi, there's nothing like TNI, there's nothing like Hard Wired etc. They're (almost) all great in their own way which is part of the reason why I like FLA so much. Those three I mentioned are probably my favourites. With a nod towards FLAvour.

This is usually the point in the discussion where someone quotes the lyrics for Shaven, by Funker Vogt. The first line is "Shaven cunts gently caress much more horny" and it doesn't really get better from there onwards.

hatelull posted:An opinion where in I absolutely and strongly disagree. I agree with your disagreement. It depends on the band too. FLA I could never get into lyrically but I guess the music and ideas were there so you could overlook that. However something like Skinny Puppy required alot of thought. Like the other poster brought up, I always heard "hot" in Assimilate as in like 'hot headed'. So quick to jump the gun with war sort of thing. I mean, there is alot of open interpretation to that writing style, where as FLA is often random short statements and the meaning of the wording is kinda obvious despite being about weird topics. 90's KMFDM were a mixed bag of very thought provoking, chant-sing-a-long inducing lyrics mixed with self-indulgent pseudo band advertisements. Which worked really well for what they were. PIG was pretty polarizing as it was very poetic, dark as sin, but if you hate that writing style of similar words/letters then it was probably too much. Frankly I loved it. I think it's very cool to analyze different styles of writing in industrial music, given that it's such a off the wall genre you tend to find such gems here and there that most commercial music wouldn't dare try.

Ill still add stuff like guitar pickup noises and the "help me" sample during the bridge.

The Cleaner posted:I think it's very cool to analyze different styles of writing in industrial music, given that it's such a off the wall genre you tend to find such gems here and there that most commercial music wouldn't dare try. This is one of thing that attracted me to the genre originally. Sure, the first Puppy I was exposed too was very much in the "creep out" vein, but then the lyrics were stream of consciousness style fare with no definite verse or chorus. You can get away with the lyrical style thanks to the song structure. Someone mentioned COIL earlier, and while they are all over the map in terms of lyrical quality they do have a few keen couplets that work pretty well. KFMDM, forever the hair metal of industrial music, have a lot of great songs that are fun to shout long with in a live setting but if you sit back and look for some deep message in "Light" you might be terribly disappointed. Having said that, "call 1 800 accept no imitations/KMFDM one world one nation" just sounds neat in an absolute juvenile way.

You don't have an industrial collection until TNI is in there somewhere.

Yesterday I got an email from the shop where I ordered TNI from and they told me it's long out of print  So that's why it's not available anywhere. I was wondering why such an important album was so difficult to track down.

http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/tactical-neural-implant/id216663097 Just saying. I drank the kool-aid a while ago, as much as I hate iTunes for actual music playing/management. I've used it for every modern industrial album I want to listen to but am not 100% crazy about.

Speaking of FLA, what's up with their B-sides almost universally being their best songs? edit: also, how fun is it when you're watching some lovely science fiction or horror movie and you recognize a sample from some song you jammed out to in high school?

I agree. I don't hold near as much attachment to CD's as I would vinyl. Get it on iTunes for instant gratification. Also, I think Tactical Neural Implant is absolutely the best FLA album. Everything works.

What were those tape decks tape traders used to go nuts over? Nakamichis or something like that. I dubbed all my poo poo on a boombox even though you weren't supposed to do that and nobody ever complained. I did, however, have the common decency to turn off Dolby and dub at normal speed on the acceptable brands of tapes.
