I remember trolling him (VAC) mercilessly on irc circa 1998. He was a real stinker then and i bet he still is.

Update: The Blinding Dark is easily my favourite album of 2016, and I've also been playing Northern Light - an album I'd never really paid attention to - on repeat. Thank you, Electro-industrial thread.

Failed Nihilist posted:Does Velvet Acid Christ get much love here? I love most of his music, but his FB posting makes him sound sort of whiny. He said he left Metropolis because they weren't promoting him enough. Any truth to that? Love VAC, and I'm completely not sure what to make of his facebook. On one hand I feel bad an artist I like is struggling on the other hand he threatens to quit every other week. I get that industrial probably isn't the best playing gig but goddamn, get your poo poo together.

Pretty sure I remember him being known for being whiney on the sonic state (a site about synthesizers and electronic music gear, not specific to industrial music) forums way way back in the day. 1999/2000-ish?

That's before my time but I think he's 'known' for constantly changing his mind re: analogue vs. VAs vs. softsynths.

VAC also seems to blame all his problems on Fukishima/chemtrails/Brexit/the illuminati/some dog that bit him when he was 3. Resulting in said threat to quit every 72 hours.

So I just got back from a Skold show. They put on a pretty good show, but I think it's the only act I've ever seen that didn't have an encore. They played an hour long set and Tim Skold just said "That's all you get." I assumed it was a joke, but nope, the house lights came up and everyone left.

To be honest I'd be happy if bands all did this, just played for longer and then hosed off without the need for some tedious interlude of the audience clapping and wooping for them.

Ronan announced during the VNV set something along the lines of, "this is normally where bands would walk off the stage and pretend to be waiting for cheers to get loud enough ... we're just going to keep playing!"

Yeah that's basically how I feel about it ... he has great presence. I kind of 'grew out of them' for lack of a better phrase, but it's hard to spend an evening at one of their shows and not leave in a great mood.

While not industrial themselves, Puscifer released a special remix LP and its got a handful of super creative people on there. It covers a lot of ground stylistically. I mean, Lead Into Gold right out the gate! Also the Baseck remix is obscenely well done. Get it here.

Welp finally the excuse I needed to visit Germany. I'm serious. That'd clear Project Pitchfork and Ashbury Heights from my bucket list. Was literally waiting for a line-up with them both on it.

Pigface played their 25th anniversary show days ago and I went. It loving ruled! Dead Voices On Air, as well as Ruby, opened. Over 20 songs played, and this included En Esch playing "Godlike", the singer for Gravity Kills coming out and playing "Guilty" and Groovie Mann came out and they did "A Daisy Chain 4 Satan"! Show can be streamed for $5 here, money goes to charity: http://www.pigface25.com (it's worth it trust me) Setlist here: https://www.instagram.com/p/BNSnyUoAEzg/ "Suck" was played last, ignore that at least.

If the lineup for Electrixmas wasn't good enough already, Spark! have just announced (assuming I'm reading google translate right) that they're playing at the afterparty. loving YES! So ready to go to Sweden and party hard!

My reviews of on-topic stuff, specifically Makoto Kino (repetitious drone pop) and Foretaste (EBMers gone synthpop). Tetrolugosi are cheesy goths but the keyboards and theremin sound works well I thought. A.D. Mana is not great yet, basically needs to learn to mix then he'll be better.

Electrixmas was great. All the bands were good, best set I've ever heard from Covenant (Figure head, Stalker AND Edge of Dawn), Wulfband were mental and incredible. Also at the afterparty, I briefly ended up in a proper Swedish EBM moshpit during Spark!'s set

A new album from Marc Heal (Cubanate) came out a couple of weeks ago. It's pretty great, there is some really good storytelling going on there.

I picked up Front 242's 1993 duo gently caress UP EVIL/EVIL OFF at a used record store the other day. These albums... aren't very good, are they? I'm trying to place myself in the timeframe they were released in to be fairer: * The current NIN album was Broken. TDS was next year. * The current FLA album was TNI. Millennium was also 1994 (I could have sworn it was 93) * Skinny Puppy's Last Rights came out in 1992 * KMFDM's ANGST came out the same year Even with grading on a curve, these two albums seem awfully generic. The first one at least sort of sounds like an updated F242 sound, but if you hadn't told me Evil Off was by them I would never have guessed. Not a shock that they kind of fizzled out after that.

Evil Off is one of their best albums, IMO. For context, Front 242 had been getting a bit stale in my opinion. Up Evil changed the feel in a good way, but I think every song was improved by the way they deconstructed them in Evil Off. ("Melt" is the only track I really dug from Up Evil, fwiw.)

I think Up Evil is one the best 242 albums but never got into Evil Off very much. The remix album Mut@ge Mix@ge is definitely worth checking out too. Kaddish fucked around with this message at 16:54 on Dec 19, 2016 |

Wizchine posted:Heh. Different strokes and all that. Part of it is also that I find it's much harder to give an album a second shot as I get more and more of them. Back in high school, every album I bought was a Big Deal because I had so few of them. I would memorize the track listings and obsessively pour over the CD booklets. All of them would get lots of play even if they didn't initially grab me that much, because there was probably something novel about them compared to the limited experiences I had at that point. I doubt I'll ever have an experience like buying FLA's Implode again. It was the first FLA album I got, and based on Amazon's RealPlayer audio snippets I knew it was going to be both completely awesome and unlike anything else I owned. Nowadays if an album doesn't click much after 1-2 listens it might be years before I give it another try.
