Phew, just randomly noticed High-Functioning Flesh is playing Toronto on Sunday. Almost missed that.

I missed them on Tuesday, just wasn't able to make it.

The Youth Code tour that was just announced, though, I will not miss.

Cross-posted from the Dutch thread. A Dutch TV show from 1989 examining the club culture around acid house, new beat and EBM, including a live demonstration (at 7:50 in the video). It's a pity there are no subtitles, it is quite interesting. They're talking about how it was a new trend sweeping the nation and is already on its return. The DJs speculate that acid house is dying out, but new beat and EBM will have more longetivity. The presenter is focusing on it being mindless and thoughtless and without rules, and questions them about ecstasy usage.

If you like this sort of thing and haven't watched The Sound of Belgium you should get all up on that.

Oh cool, thanks! I never caught that, even though there was apparently a screening two blocks away from here last year...

Holy poo poo, Tyler Newman (Battery Cage, Informatik) put out a new album under a new name last month and I didn't notice!

https://solidgreyskyrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/invisible-weapons

Enjoying it so far. Coincidentally he cites Jesu as an influence on it ... just heard Jesu for the first time ever ten minutes prior on Spotify Discover.

edit: was a slow build for me ... started out decent, but by the end it was fantastic. Really fluid mix of cool styles.
Out of curiosity, did anyone bother checking this out? I'm still obsessed. I'd highly recommend it even if you don't like Battery Cage ... it's not Battery Cage style.

ID:YD review: http://www.idieyoudie.com/2016/02/negative_crush-invisible_weapons/

quote:

invisible_weapons
Grey Sky Recordings

Tyler Newman’s certainly kept his hand in the game. While his best known projects, Battery Cage and Informatik, have maintained low profiles over the past half decade or so, with just the odd album and track surfacing, he’s been dropping snappy movie soundtracks, doing ‘futures past’ type electronics, both unearthing and penning new music in his A.E.C. side-project, and plenty more via his Solid Grey Sky Recordings label. But the debut record from his new solo project, negative_crush, feels like an entirely new achievement for Newman, wholly separate from both his established projects and his more recent ones.

The album art, a grim memorial horizon at an aircrash site, gives honest warning of what’s to come. Weary and resigned throughout, invisible_weapons‘ mood is well suited for the post-metal instrumentation and emphasis on slow tempos and dynamic shifts which run through its lengthy course. Bridging at times into industrial rock in the broadest sense, invisible_weapons makes good use of drum programming and keyboards when they’re called for, but it’s the guitars which generally stay in the spotlight. Fuzzy guitars, chugging guitars, guitars that evaporate, guitars which thud to the ground and then drag themselves underneath the bed to await brighter days. Jesu is cited as an influence in the PR copy, and for once I agree; Newman’s learned well from the deep resonances and aching compositions which seem to reverberate in the chest pioneered by Justin Broadrick.

But to say that it’s entirely beholden to guitar and impenetrable walls of noise would be to overwrite the swirling piano and percussion of the close of “Too Many Of Us Are Dying”, and to ignore the excellent vocal work Newman delivers throughout the record. At times harmonizing with established guitars, and at times fully taking the melodic reins, Newman’s rarely let so much of an album rest on his vocal performance, and certainly never for such a sustained period. “Your Secret Is Safe With Me” (along with a couple of other tunes) crashes back in for a reworked reprise after what seems like a natural conclusion, and with just a couple of minor intonations amplifies its recitation of stifled (but not entirely snuffed out) hope to fantastic heights.

The songwriting here is, bluntly, excellent. That’s something which could easily be lost in the course of a record this lengthy with cuts that regularly push past the six minute mark and cleave so close to a particular mood. invisible_weapons is a bleak and dark listen, make no mistake. It takes depression, repetition, and self-destructive thinking as its themes. But rather than stabbing at the listener with violent, screaming directness, Newman’s found a new voice, a new angle on his music in waves of reflection and resignation. An ache in the neck or legs which can’t be stretched out or rubbed away, that’s far more invisible_weapons‘ speed than the bloody stabbings of A.E.C. An exciting and affecting new direction for a long-standing industrial musician, invisible_weapons might have less in common with any of his earlier work than anything Newman’s tried his hand at, but that only makes its success more impressive. Recommended.

Buy it.

High-Functioning Flesh was solid, but god drat that was a late concert for a Sunday night ... took at the stage at around 1:00.

The openers were pleasant surprises ... Body of Light solid danceable Pet Shop Boys-ish synthpop. Avant Kool wasn't really my thing, but entertaining.

Yeah in Providence they hit the stage around midnight. Great show though, grabbed the Body of Light LP but haven't listened to it yet. Odd release for the Chondritic Sound label though.

Project Pitchfork's choice of support for their 25-year anniversary tour is making me seriously reconsider my plan of travelling to Germany (again) to see said tour in the fall.

Blast from the past ... loving loving the new Lights of Euphoria album, Traumatized. It's not as loud/aggressive as some of their earlier tracks, but it has some really awesome grungy Depeche Mode-like moments and the production is great. I loved Krieg Gegen die Maschinen and Gegen Den Strom back in the day. Querschnitt was such a disappointment for me, I lost track of them.

Favourite old track in case anyone missed them:

New Youth Code up next.


edit: oh lol the last track on the Lights of Euphoria is a Stripped cover haha. Badass.

Out of nowhere, Skold will be playing in Denver 5/10. Did he ever put out more than the 1 self titled album? It looks like he's doing a self tour, but I'm not sure.

R.I.P. Prince ✚ The Artist ✚ The Symbol
On February 14th in 1989 Laibach visited Paisley Park, after the tour concert in Minneapolis's First Avenue, suprisingly finding out that Prince kept in his main studio also two of the Laibach CD's (Opus Dei and Let It Be). In 1996 the band covered his song, The Cross, for the Jesus Christ Superstars album.
From Laibach's Facebook. And I can't be bothered to dig up my copy now but I think that when Jesus Christ Superstars was released and Prince was in his full "The Artist Formerly Known As Prince" phase Laibach refers to themselves in the liner notes as ✚

You might surprise yourself.
Surgical Meth Machine is the most perfectly rad thing ever conceived. It is Al as he is in this point in time and it's not Ministry, it's something though. He gets to yell at people in his voice and not the faux british tribute to his heroes and it comes off so perfectly bitter when not downright beyond-slayer or pantera levels of aggression. Al is grabbing a bottle of whiskey and wandering into the studio for half a year but with the rulebook out the window except for his own. SMM owns I want a t shirt. Nothing is heavier, nothing is more fuckit chillax. Nothing is more than the id the ego the superego with the fuel of a billion substances behind it to live life to the extreme as motherfucking grandaddy al. This is his magnum opus, not Ministry because it is where he arrived today standing on the shoulders of the giants he built himself

HAY GUYS

Electro industrial is what I used to listen to exclusively when I was in my late teems and early 20s. I've had a long break and help me find some stuff worth getting so I'm not wasting cash. I'm also looking into doing a radio show at the University here that would be focused on these genres with a smattering of goth/death rock/horror pu k as well.

So. If you wanted to introduce the top 5 bands that have come with releases in the last 5 years or so, what would you reccomend? I figure start woth reccomendations before wading through piles of crap to find some gold.
