Control is catching me on this play-through. I agree though, the vocoding was part of the charm prior.

I do think this is a solid album, but it almost takes a prog-rock mentality to appreciate.

Control is a terrific song. I agree otherwise though that there really aren't any ridiculously awesome standout tracks (like the first time I heard Fear, etc). On a whole though, I'm really enjoying it the more I listen to it. I do wish the vocals had some more effects like they do in previous albums, but I enjoy his natural voice as well.

I'm happy to say though that the songs from Revelations fit in quite nicely with the other songs in my M.I.A.B playlist, which is all the tracks I rated a 4 or 5 in itunes, and consequently a very large playlist.

His natural voice is awesome in a live environment. But then it's a unique mix and change of pace from the albums.

On the 8-Bits single there's a great mix with the regular vocoded song, but layering his regular voice over it at the end.

Oh, it's on youtube:

I found it randomly at HMV, of all places. First time in there in probably 5+ years.

I saw Rotersand in Cervante's Bar a few years ago. Went in knowing nothing about them and wound up liking them a whole lot. Fun show, good songs for a live performance.

Gotta admit it was the daleks that sold me on them, though.

And some of the later stuff; 'Diamonds & Daggerz' is a full album of TKK taking samples, beats, and loops from across their discography, and reworking it into a crazy crescendo. It's almost like an audio demonstration of how memes work.

I'll say. I've run into that site twice before as well (fun Kirlian Camera interview), and it's pretty new. Perhaps it's that a lot of the people into this music are very active online and all end up running into each other over and over. Or maybe it's because:

"If you come from industrial, in a way you’re tainted." - from their recent Dave Heckman interview (haha).

Definitely a great review/interview site. Are there any similar sites out there (that get regular updates)?

gently caress, just realised that it's been twelve years since I actually bought a KMFDM album. They have a whole loving decade of songs I've not really listened to!

And a whole decade not really worth the time. I liked the last one though. Their show was a million times better half a year ago than when I saw them 8ish years ago.

This is a long shot but I've always been into industrial music, and when I was young I started loving with a program called Fruity Loops, basically a weird version of Ableton live to make music.

Well the demo had a bunch of sample songs and 3 by a guy I think was named Toby. The three samples were some of the best loving industrial music I had ever heard (my memory could be glorifying the sound), but i cannot find them anywhere. I don't know what version of fruity loops it was, or even the year (had to be like, '98-'02 ish).

Some googling leads me to Toby Emerson, but I can't find the industrial song if it was him, I'm just hearing mass techno.

Please tell me someone out there had the same version of fruity loops and heard the same song and can hook me up.

Also, like 6 months ago KMFDM played a loving venue my little brother played in with some lovely band. It was depressing to see my favorite industrial band fall so low.

e; I guess they haven't "fallen so low" but it sucks they couldn't book a bigger gig with more people.

Speaking of KMFDM, does anyone remember the original track order of Adios that was scrapped? I remember it being posted when the album came out and it being way better than the finalized track order, but not much else. The first track was D.I.Y., and the last track was That's All I think.

Your memory is playing tricks on you. I think I remember the songs you're talking about, and they weren't any kind of badass industrial music.

They sounded impressive at the time if you were staring at this unfamiliar piece of software and unable to make anything that sounds like a song come out of it, but that's about it.

The David Schock one has a pretty predictable (and dated)) top 20 of club floorfillers. I mean, I really like some of those songs, but there have been better ones since some of those came out and while they're fun to dance to, they're hardly all time best. I wouldn't even say that Headhunter is the best Front 242 song, and I really like Headhunter and Front 242. Bit of a random selection of genres too. I guess if it was Top 101 Industrial Songs Played In Clubs, that'd make sense.

Edit: The ID:UD one is way better.

David's a nice guy and he put in a ton of work into his list, but his collection methodology had a lot of problems which is why we've got the list that we do.

ID:UD's approach of only having one track per band makes for a much more interesting list.
