Entropist posted:I listen to a lot of futurepop, so I thought I'd check those claims... Yeah, you may be right on what they sound like more, I've only heard them live and mostly thought they sounded exactly like a less trancey version of VNV Nation then. But that's live sound for ya. But still, it's so far away from original or new it's pretty hilarious and actually kind of offensive that they claim it is. These guys are supposedly veterans of the scene (I heard someone is in Stahlmann?), do they honestly believe this? a cyborg mug fucked around with this message at 15:39 on Apr 30, 2015 |

On last.fm their similar artists are all bands I've never heard of that are tagged as both synthpop and futurepop , so maybe there's a bunch more out there that sounds like them. Not original!

On Friday Unheilig plays their last ever show I'll probably be able to attend, ever, in Erfurt, not that far away from Leipzig. And now these motherfucking Germans have declared a train drivers' strike for this week, gloriously pissing on my perfect plan of taking the train directly to the concert venue and getting back to Leipzig after the show  edit: jesus christ that piece of poo poo city has a grand total of like two hostels and they're already overbooked.

I haven't really checked out 3TEETH, but there's a "rework" of one of their songs by BLKHRTS that is fantastic. A new BLKHRTS two-track single released yesterday, with one song streamable here (Edit: Should add that there's a  image on the soundcloud stream.) It is also very good.

No but seriously, I will absolutely check them out if my WGT schedule at all allows. I still haven't, shamefully enough, really listened to them (then again I haven't really listened to anything at all lately) but I know this thread loves Youth Code and that alone is enough for me. Also it looks pretty likely that I'll be writing my master's thesis on Rammstein's lyrics because why not

Danger - Octopus! posted:There's a whole bunch of screenings during May of Industrial Soundtrack For The Urban Decay, a documentary about the origins of industrial music. Really excited at getting the chance to see this, since I've been keeping an eye on it for a while. Might interest a bunch of folk here I suspect! Saw this last night. It was really good if you're interested in the origins of industrial music but only an hour long, and felt like a few bits had been cut out just prior to release. Completely misses out some key artists who inspired/were involved in the early days of the music ie Neubauten and Laibach, but I kind of assumed that was because they couldn't be interviewed or there wasn't archive footage of them available. Definitely worth seeing if you get the chance though, and the screening I went to had the added bonus of a q&a session afterwards with two of Test Dept along with a screening of one of their short films. Hearing them talking about living in a squat while recording their seminal albums, their work during the miners' strike and reading from their Stasi file was great. The kind of political activity and engagement in some of the early industrial artists like Test Dept really puts some of the slightly embarassing anti-establishment gently caress YOU DAD diatribes of modern electro-industrial to shame. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUxoughdYto What was really interesting though was that Test Dept said while they ended up extremely political, they didn't precisely start that way. They were always anti-establishment but at first it was more of an aesthetic choice similarly to how you had punks and some of the other bands who'd later be described as industrial flirting with fascist imagery. When Thatcherism was in full swing though and the miners strike started, they decided they could either keep on posing and playing at being political, or actually follow through and become politically active and take action.

Sidenote, I'm listening to Project Pitchfork's Chakra:Red! I just can't believe this is from 1994. It's so loving good. Some synthpop, some 90s industrial hallmarks, some 80s industrial, 90s dance, and still, also it's own thing. Really wish I'd known about them when I was getting into PWEI by way of Dos Dedos Mis Amigos, KMFDM, NIN, Throbbing Gristle, Legendary Pink Dots, etc. This might be better. I need to make my next/last musical pilgrimage to go see this band. (Last perhaps because I think I've checked off everyone else I have to see.) I previously travelled to London just to see Ned's Atomic Dustbin hah.

teethgrinder posted:I just can't believe this is from 1994. it isn't 1997  But yes it's such a good album, one of my personal favorites from the band. Couple of weaker links there, like Temptation and Tower of Lust, but jesus christ that opening salvo of Human Crossing / 2069 AD / Malicious Delight is one of my all-time favorite opening trios of songs, then there's God Wrote (insane live track) and December Sadness and just a bunch of really really excellent stuff. Too bad the album has to end with that sub-par Vangelis cover, it just doesn't fit on the album at all. Celeste would be a perfectly fine ending. It's an especially interesting album coming straight after Alpha Omega. It just sounds so organic and weird and, like you said, very much like its own thing. I know you love that album, but lol if you try tell me Eon:Eon has anything on the sound on Chakra:Red. I can't believe you haven't seen them live, though, I thought you had? It's definitely worth it, Pitchfork is an incredible band live.

Things haven't gone well for Eurorock festival. Edit: Here we go http://deredactie.be/cm/vrtnieuws.english/News/1.2341883 quote:The Eurorock festival in Neerpelt (Limburg) was halted for a while on Saturday after all the money had disappeared from the cash register. A couple of bands cancelled when it turned out they could not be paid. To make matters worse, the driving force behind the festival became unwell when he found out about the theft.

Sounds like it was another Alt-Fest situation where the problems were known about in advance but the organisers didn't want to cancel going by similar statements from Fields of the Nephilim and Front 242 The Side-Line guy was involved because he was their press co-ordinator or something then stepped up as a volunteer to assist in the crisis when it all went to hell apparently? Front 242 posted:On Saturday at 14h00 we received a message that the festival was in a chaotic situation : sound and lights, backline, catering, and all the bands were not going to be paid and would leave the festival. FotN posted:"For those that are curious / disappointed, here's what went down at EuroRock. We travelled to the show from England having hired buses / drivers etc. during our journey we were in constant contact with festival production and nothing untoward was mentioned (although by this time they were fully aware of the situation).

Alt-Fest, BeatCon, this one, then there was supposed to be another festival somewhere where OOMPH! was going to play but that got canceled too, kinda sounded similar. At least the good big German festivals are doing fine, maybe because the people there actually know what they're loving doing

Don't forget Kinetik, which I would have expected to have a fairly competent management after running for six years (I'll grant that's nothing next to the big German festivals). There were signs of things going wrong with that one -- the move was a pretty big red flag that SOMETHING was up -- but I figured it would at least make it through one iteration in Toronto before dying and/or getting a name/management change. Then again, I don't think we really know what happened with that, just that it specifically wasn't the venue? Notgothic fucked around with this message at 23:17 on May 17, 2015 |

At least they're still trying in Belgium. In the Netherlands, the organizers of the biggest festival quit, after announcing that they would skip a year last year. Now there's no dedicated festival that I know of, and even shows are getting rarer. Youth Code is coming to Belgium on their Europe tour next week, but not the Netherlands... I'm considering going there for it.

VNV Nation's Resonance album is out, consisting of... symphonic remixes of previous VNV songs? I'm a huge VNV fanboy, and even I found it hard to listen to. The orchestration is perfectly nice, but man do Ronan's vocals not work in that environment. Further is one of my favorite songs, period, and its arrangement on the album just completely paled in comparison to the original, or even the Lifeforce cover.
