CAT rear end now!!! posted:I've been on my huge periodical Diorama kick again and would like to once more remind you to listen to Diorama, because it is a good god drat band and I know none of you still haven't listened to them yet because otherwise you'd be raving about the band here. Maybe start with Cubed, that album is very nearly perfect. I do, a lot of the stuff is in my regular rotation, especially from the first albums! Don't think I've even checked out Cubed yet, thanks for the idea.

You should, it's an incredible album, probably one of my all-time favorites! Just note that if you're using Spotify, the album is not actually 18 songs long. The last five tracks starting with Stuckato are actually a separate bonus EP called Shadow Play that came with the special edition of Cubed. It's a fantastic EP but just a heads-up so you don't think Cubed is massively overlong. Even the Devil Doesn't Care is also a really good album, if not quite as solid as a whole - the middle of it is just ok, I think. Incredible beginning and personally I've been obsessed with Hellogoodbye and Justice for All lately.

Speaking of three hours plus of electro-industrial music, Electronic Saviors: Industrial Music To Cure Cancer: Vol IV: Retaliation is now out, on bandcamp, their website, and also on Spotify. It's like 6 or 8 or whatever discs of music from some really varied artists. There's some real gems on there, but I'm going to hold off on the PYF until I actually get through the whole thing. edit: oh and so I'm not doubleposting, is anyone going to Amphi Festival in Koln?

I think I already bought my ticket in like September or October or so. I can definitely recommend it, the lineup is fantastic and it's an exceptionally well-organized festival.

I missed the hilariously named Apop cruise tickets by a week, unfortunately  but I got weekend tickets! Would you recommend camping or just finding a hotel? I am an old man who probably will want to actually get some sleep at some point. Also congratulations on the shoutout by ID:YD!Current Electronic Saviors thoughts: I can't decide whether the Ashbury Heights track is one of their best or one of their worst, the Ghost & Writer track absolutely should be listened to with headphones, and it's nice that Iris is back to doing exactly what Iris does

Let's grab a Kölsch and a Bratwurst at some point, yeah  I've never camped at Amphi so I can't really say what it's like there, unfortunately. But I also appreciate a proper shower and a real bed after a day of festival craziness, too, and since Amphi takes place smack dab in the middle of a city with great public transport that operates at night, I'd say go for a hotel. I'll probably be staying at the same hostel I've used two out of the three times I've gone to Amphi (Black Sheep Hostel).

They're ravenous, those boys, chances are they stumbled on to it

I have a vague feeling they mentioned SA/this thread once in a podcast ages ago, either way it's pretty cool, I was gonna share it when I saw but promptly forgot because my memory and attention span are atrocious.

...that Ashbury Heights track has really grown on me. I think it would make for an awesome track at the few remaining club nights where I live anyway. Not that I almost ever attend them. I'm a fat nerd that just goes to the live shows (and gets mocked by Ronin). edit: so uh, The Cure was loving amazing.

So where should I start on Anhalt EBM? The description that came to mind was "Oi! with synths and drum machines" and I see at least one other poster hit this too. I'm currently finding the stuff much of a muchness. Playing Oldschool Union and finding it a style I quite like actually, but frankly indistinguishable from everything else on Bandcamp with the "anhalt" tag. (The criteria for "oldschool" amuse too. They'll go back as far as DAF's first wave of slavish imitators but somehow DAF's actual name is never mentioned. Makes me wish for EBM bands with actual drummers and no drum machine.)

Also goons mentioning Diary of Dreams earlier: Oh I love them. They're sooooo teenage goth but my philosophy is to take it over the top. You've got to move that aesthetic as deep into the spooky bat cave as you can. I want to feel like daemonic familiars are popping out. They're a great mood band. And way better live than the more restrained studio stuff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=soHnRFAGGAA

Phil Western has the bulk of his discography for sale on bandcamp for $50. While he's done work on later Puppy records a lot of his output falls more into the Download/PlatEAU of druggy electronic music. I really liked his Frozen Rabbit LP, which was on the ambient/droney side of things. Not for everyone maybe, but still that's 39 albums for $50. Shame the two albums he did with Spybey as Beehatch aren't included. As an aside, based on a social media post it looks like he's doing this to deal with some real life issues so maybe this helps out a decent artist. hatelull fucked around with this message at 22:38 on Jun 22, 2016 |

forgive me if this has been discussed already or if we're over All The Way Down by now, but there's a lyric that bugs me in my favorite track (Downpour) "desperate to win" - win what? are we talking specifically a battle with cancer? I feel like he's a better lyricist than to just throw any old one-syllable word in there, but I can't figure out what he means

Ashbury Heights are starting a VLOG where they're going to start releasing demos and taking suggestions on different types of music to make, and also to do whatever else you would want from an Ashbury Heights VLOG. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1YxtrDxz3M Sounds like the next album is mostly done too.

Fuuuuuck. The Youth Code european tour that got cancelled earlier in the year because they'd somehow managed to book tours on two continents at the same time (or alternatively, the promoters somehow hosed it or tickets didn't sell so they pulled it) has been rescheduled but their UK dates are all while I'm on holiday abroad

From the Difficult Listening for the Hard of Hearing Department: industrial music for old people like me. I blogged last week about (with videos and Bandcamps linked for your listening delight): * Early '80s Australian noisemakers Scattered Order, founders of the M Squared label (that nurtured a lot of the early '80s Sydney electronic noise scene), whose music is delectably unlistenable and who are still going; * The 1991 Volition Records package tour, with some "where are they now?" Featuring Severed Heads, Boxcar and Single Gun Theory in reverse order of prestige; SGT were the ones whose album actually charted. * and last month, Once We Were Scum, Now We Are God by No from 1989.

I'm curious as to what their set list would look like these days. They probably still play Mindphaser and Overkill, but FLA has a really large catalogue to draw from. I know it's not one of their classics, but I always liked that "Epitaph" record that came out in the early 2000s.

Well, here's a recent one that's pretty much what they've been playing this year http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/front-line-assembly/2016/the-garage-london-england-bf03d0e.html Five tracks from the latest (excellent) album and then a what I think is a really nice selection of old classics including some surprising ones. That's how they seem to roll nowadays. Looks like they haven't played anything from Epitaph/Civilization/Artificial Soldier since IED came out, which is kind of a bummer because I'd kill to see them play just about anything from Civilization. Still my favorite FLA album. a cyborg mug fucked around with this message at 20:47 on Jul 10, 2016 |
