Ogre demanded real blood for his theatrics this go-round - but he was insisting on theirs. Or was VNV supposed to fulfill the backstage rider with the bowl of M&Ms sans the brown ones.

Hmm, Pomona isn't THAT far away, so maybe I will go to that show after all. I missed Skinny Puppy last year for the first time since I started following them. (A baby sort of monopolizes your life....)

The Cleaner posted:In my lame opinion, Seeming was easily the most intelligent and well thought out album released this year, probably the past 5-10 years. Maybe that's not enough for most folks, but Christ almighty the thought and intelligence put into 99% of industrial lyrics now are "You are my diseeeasse" + distortion pedal + dance beat. And no, it wasn't always that way. It used to be thought-provoking. experimental and unpredictable. Anyway I don't share the exact same tastes as ID:UD myself but I can definitely see why they picked that album. Yeah, in the 80's "Industrial" used to be a nice catch-all term for just about anything experimental involving electronics or noise. I mean, Legendary Pink Dots would get lumped into the genre. In the 90's, maybe that stuff started getting lumped under the ever-expanding "Electronica" umbrella instead. Nowadays everything is categorized down to the genus and species, and I think it can become a creative straight-jacket. Also, honestly, the most creative new talent isn't probably looking to limit themeselves to this musty "genre".

Halloween Jack posted:For quite awhile, all I had heard from Numan was the news that he was moving from England to Santa Monica because he woke up especially white and rich one morning. Then he released Splinter and I remembered that you can never count him out as a serious musician even when you can't take him seriously as a human being. As I guy that used to live 5 minutes from Santa Monica and wasn't rich or a terrible human being - gently caress you.

Halloween Jack posted:You misunderstand me. After the 2011 riots, he said he was leaving England because his small, affluent village was supposedly overrun with thugs. Ah. Were the "thugs" brown? The way I read the comment was obviously from the other end. Santa Monica is a bit infamous in Southern California for being very progressive - it's treatment of the homeless, environmental initiatives, etc. - despite the affluence of many of its residents. So it was kind of weird for me to see what I thought was a characterization of Santa Monica as something closer to Orange County.

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! Nice. I don't get out much lately because I have a 2-year-old, but the LA screening isn't too far from home. But I think I might do this - thanks for the heads up.

For me, Artificial Soldier was the first great FLA album since Tactical Neural Implant. Millennium and FLAvour of the Weak at least sounded unique, but everything else in that large swathe of time sounded samey to me, except for a standout track here and there. I still bought the albums and went to see their shows, though...

I have a soft spot for Gashed Senses and Crossfire because I saw them on tour in a cool little venue (Club Post-Nuclear in Laguna Beach) and Bill was nice enough to sit at a table afterwards to sign autographs and chat with the fans.

I'll be at the Tampa show. Boo - no LA stop I missed them twice in their heyday because they had the uncanny knack for coming to town in the middle of finals week.

Editors are the bee's knees, and I'm glad to have seen them live once years ago - they're really good live as you saw. Besides Joy Division I hear Echo and the Bunnymen when I listen to them (A Ton of Love is a great example of this).

I call it all industrial and don't give a flying fig what a "purist" wants to label it. At one time "industrial" used to be a great blanket term for a lot of varied, interesting music.

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 bought one wumpscut cd years ago when I found it in my local Tower (this was obviously in dinosaur times) and it was just the same lame song remixed 10 different ways. I had heard good things about the music, but never bothered to take a chance again on wumpscut for what in those days were essentially blind buys. That said, I'm old school and I never get mad if an artist complains about digital downloads and not getting paid.

DasNeonLicht posted:I tried to get into Cabaret Voltaire in college, but could never really swallow their critically acclaimed experimental stuff. Your comment inspired me to take another look into their catalog, and I discovered C.O.D.E. which is incredible. New summer album — give me that smooth industrial funk. Don't Argue is the highlight, imo.

Counterpoint - Bill Leeb was the only Industrial artist who I ever met, because he went to the merchandise area after the show to chat with fans and sign autographs (1989, Club Post Nuclear). He seemed like a down-to-earth dude.

Tactical Neural Implant was one of the best live shows I ever saw, but it was the only show I ever saw stoned out of my gourd, so that helped. They were a good live act when I saw them , but the last show I saw was ages ago (Implode, maybe - though the last time I bought a shirt was Hard Wired).

Sorry, but I unapologetically loved Voodoo-U back in the day, so I say it belongs. I prefer Big Sexy Land if you're going to do Revolting Cocks. I know I'm in the minority by pegging EVIL Off as my favorite Front 242 album. Cabaret Voltaire's best for me is Arm of the Lord. For missing bands, besides the ones mentioned by other posters, I'd add Severed Heads.

My favorites were every other album Mind: The Perpetual Intercourse, Vivisect VI, and Too Dark Park were my favorites - and I was less keen on Cleanse, Fold & Manipulate, Rabies, and Last Rights overall (though each still had tracks I loved). I liked "industrial" being a catch-all term for a wide variety of music. Hyphenated micro-genres are a creative straight-jacket.

My favorite Last Rights tracks were Mirror Saw, Riverz End, Circustance, and Download. Didn't much care for the rest.

To add - get the first Tear Garden album, "Tired Eyes Slowly Burning." It's of that era and is fantastic. I'm also a fan of Download's "III" and the newest one I quite like, "Unknown Room."
