Which are the good revco albums/tracks in your opinion? I've never really listened to them, I have one or two albums somewhere but I can't recall much other than they covered do you think I'm sexy.

Due to this thread I've been listening to early KMFDM again a lot over the last couple of days, I'd literally forgotten that their earlier stuff was actually pretty drat cool so thanks guys!

"Stainless Steel Providers" and the unofficial anthem for my state "Beersc Steers, and Queers" are my obvious picks. RevCo always struck me as the debaucherous house band for Jorgunsen's camp, barely able to function so it's amazing they managed to record records. Go read Connelly's book and get a full tainted picture.

Album wise big sexy land, live you goddamn son of a bitch, and to a lesser extent beers, steers, and queers. I think early revco was the only group to successfully pull off the whole buttrock/redneck industrial fusion thing without being too embarrassing. I'm guessing it was due to the chaotic nature of the project.

Seconding this. I had to import it from England, but it was well worth it. Definitely recommended for anyone who's interested in that era/scene and was unable to experience it first hand.

The Taurus didn't offer much for drivers craving the sport sedan experience. That changed with the 1989 debut of the Ford Taurus SHO (for Super High Output), a Q-ship of the finest order that offered up a high-revving Yamaha-designed V-6 engine and a tight sport suspension.

The latest trend... health goth.

quote:



http://www.marieclaire.co.uk/blogs/547561/health-goth-the-latest-trend-you-ve-never-heard-of.html

If you’re still trying to get your head around normcore, look away now.

The latest underground fashion trend sent to confuse us has landed, and it’s going by the name of health goth.

Despite what the name suggests, it’s not based around dressing like Morticia Adams while embarking on a strict vegan diet. Rather, it’s a very modern mix of gothic and punk sensibilities (think dark colours, figure-hugging silhouettes and heavy statement accessories) and futuristic sport-luxe. Weird? Very. Cool? Apparently.

The concept of health goth was born last year when American musicians Mike Grabarek and Jeremy Scott began uploading images they were inspired by to Facebook. Soon, their library of futuristic, monochrome style inspo had over five thousand followers, and today, the Health Goth community is still expanding. But what exactly is it?

In an interview with Complex in August, the creators listed their inspirations as ‘mesh, moisture-wicking fabrics, prosthetics, fashion and performance wear brands, transparent clothing and chains’. Basically, think traditional goth gone body-conscious. High-performance sportswear is key for nailing the health goth look, but inspiration also comes from sci-fi and cyberpunk, which adds the futuristic element.

Despite only getting its name in 2013, health goth aesthetics have been around for a while, particularly in the movie world. Trinity from The Matrix, with her trademark wraparound sunglasses, and even Daryl Hannah’s Pris from the 1982 cult hit Blade Runner, could both be classed as pioneers of what’s now known as health goth. Slick, figure-hugging silhouettes and transparent materials are all staples of the trend, but Health Goth can also be sexy – think flame-haired Milla Jovovich in The Fifth Element.

Never one to risk being understated in his sartorial choices, Kanye West has also dabbled with the futuristic look, often sporting studded Maison Martin Margiela full-face masks at his shows, and finishing his look with pristine white Nikes.

According to those in the know, we should all be embracing our dark sides. 'It’s very now, and something we can expect to trend for the next 4-6 months,' said Tammy Smulders, managing partner of trend insight consultancy SCB Partners. 'Health goth sounds like a fancy name, but it marries the easy-wear of sports clothes with luxury materials.'

Jaana Jatyri, founder of trend forecasting agency Trendstop, also thinks it’s here to stay. 'Health goth started out as an internet meme, but we’re now starting to see these stylistic influences filter through to trendsetters on the streets, especially in London,' she says.

One reason for this may be that, despite its seemingly daunting appearance, is that it’s actually quite easy to wear. 'Health goth is more approachable than other Internet trends like Seapunk [blue hair and psychedelia] and elements like luxe sportswear pieces are easy to translate into the mainstream,' says Jaana. 'Although it tends to focus on menswear, there’s a big trend towards menswear-inspired styles for women, so it’s definitely something women can get into as well.'

Longline sports jerseys, mesh inserts, wet-look fabrics and chunky, Perspex accessories will all help create the punky, sci-fi feel. Black is the centre of the colour palette, but silver and white accents can be added to complete the streamlined, space-age feel. Going full health goth is a bold statement, though – nods to the trend such as hi-tech trainers, metallic make-up or mesh-panelled t-shirts are an easy way to incorporate it into your everyday style.

Nike and Adidas are the go-to footwear brands for any discerning member of the HG community – just remember, the more futuristic-looking the shoe, the better. 'Nike and Adidas are great places to start, particularly premium lines like Adidas’ Porsche Design or Y-3,' Jaana advises. 'An investment piece by Rick Owens or Alexander Wang can add a fashion edge.'

For those still wondering exactly how to do it, Tammy also has some useful advice. 'Layer fun, edgy and colourful prints on a base of minimalist black, grey and white colour palates. It’s a really interesting style evolution that looks and feels fresh.'

So there you have it.
Health goth. Also known as wearing a ratty Skinny Puppy t-shirt to the gym. (Hmm, probably beats heroin-addled goth...)

I guess I don't really listen to "synthpop" per se. The only bands I listen to that I think fit the label perfectly are like Depeche Mode and Wolfsheim.

Other stuff that's sorta close would be perhaps mind.in.a.box? Seabound?

I have to say, after being a huge, unabashed fan of the first three Seabound albums, the latest has left me cold. I just can't seem to get into it no matter how much I listen.

I'm very stupid.
There are a few synthpop-like bands that I ran into along the way... For new stuff, I quite liked this Machinista song:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XONkLtJMrt4

Then there was Echo Image, De/Vision if that counts, Iris, The Human League, Ladytron... Code 64 or Frozen Plasma if that isn't futurepop.
But there's also a bunch more artists that I can't really remember because they sound samey, indeed.

Help I've been completely obsessed with Blutengel for the last couple of days and it's slowly but surely edging its way into my top ten list of favorite bands of all time

Also whoever posted about Königin der Nacht being a perfect song like... last year? I think it was last year. You were right. Then again Chris Pohl has a pretty ridic amount of those under his belt.

Pretty sure me. And I WAS right. :synthy: That's up there with Dancing In The Light in perfect, gothed out anthems. Oh you've got to explore the b-sides if you haven't already. Gems in there.

Yeah, Dancing in the Light has to be one of my favorite songs of all time. Just an incredible track. It's a shame they don't seem to play it live anymore.

The first Blutengel thing I ever bought was actually the version of the DITL single that has You Will Be A Woman on it! :haw: Here's a more recent B-side that would be worthy of being a single itself, and one that apparently found its way into their setlists on the Monument tour, too: What You Get

edit: Also I think Soultaker deserves to be mentioned when talking about perfect songs by BE. loving astounding.

And I was going to mention the Schatten club mix. Also the song Our Empire. Not the best Blut song, but it's a song by vampires to a modern, rational and skeptic audience about why they should believe in vampires. "Believe me, my modern friends!" So funny. I think I burst out laughing the first time I heard it, at the sheer panache of it. Love it.

I think it's safe to say people who are into Industrial are generally more into extreme and weird genres.
And Outrun is to Synthpop what Death-Metal is to Rock & Roll.

So that's what it's called? Holy poo poo that genre got old fast, Perturbator I can deal with but just about everything else sounds and look exactly the same. Hence proving the deathmetal comparision.

People who are into industrial tend to really like all kinds of electronic music cos the industrial umbrella is so broad and Outrun owns so.

That sounds cool. Do you have a website or an archive up somewhere?

I'm not sure if my music qualifies as industrial, but a lot of my inspiration comes from the kinds of stuff posted in this thread and I do have some harder/harsher tracks that might interest you. I'll PM you some examples.

I've actually played tracks from Brotherhood on the last couple episodes, I only did my third this week and I've yet to get set up on the website with my podcasted version of it, but I should be getting in touch with the webmaster for the station tomorrow. As for the site for the station itself it's chsrfm.ca. It does have a link to listen online, and my show is Thursday nights at 10:30 pm Atlantic time, and I'm going to apologize in advance for the fact that I called it "Something to do With Bats", I couldn't think of anything better to name it.
