I have to plug FGFC820. These guys are pretty drat rad. YOU DON'T loving BELIEVE ME!?

FGFC820 - Society

I like this - I really do. But it sounds just like Funker Vogt with Suicide Commando vocals. I mean they even have a song called Killing Fields that isn't a FV cover. What am I missing here? How is this different from the NIN ripoff bands (besides being actually a decent band).

How bad in comparison to say, Halo In Reverse?

I was going to at least give them props for the Coil reference in the band name, but then I remembered How to Destroy Angels and went :ughh:

I love COIL's soundscapes and ludicrously priced limited releases as much as the next faceless internet persona, but I honestly read that as a Depeche Mode reference. A loser is me?

no, I think you're probably right. I totally forgot about that song and went straight for the Coil.

Actually I was thinking about it last night and a loser is me, because I even screwed up the lyric in my head and it's not in any way, shape, or form a Coil reference. :sigh:

I've never understood how And One got any love from anyone, every single one of their records has been mind numbingly boring for me. Save for Panzer Mensch, obviously.

Well, I can't fault you if they don't hit your taste, but like like Cat rear end said, they can be a bit uneven. However, they do have a wide range, so if all you like is Panzermensch then I don't know what to say.

And yes, they don't take themselves seriously, which is great.

I'm all for bands not taking themselves seriously, I listen to plenty that don't and love it, but And One just seem to recycle the same old boring poo poo forever. I still need good and interesting music to go with my fun at the end of the day. Although I had forgotten that Wasted was one of theirs and I'll admit that I liked this -

But really, with a library like they have and only a few songs don't make me think they're complete trash. :S
I mean, that Timekiller cover is horrible, he has this completely boring and unemotional voice that just ruins the song. Plus it wasn't so much a cover as it was a complete remake.

Now Laibach know how to do covers.

Yeah, if you don't like their style, that's fine. I included that Timekiller remix because And One seems to take remixes and do them more like covers - they take the song and remake it in their own style, much like Laibach. They do a great job of making it sound like the song was theirs all along. (I also thought it was amusing that they did a PP cover).

Now of course, since you don't like that style then I'm sure their "covers" will leave you flat.

Cat rear end, ah you have a treat in store for you. I've seen every Laibach tour that I've been in the path of since Macbeth, and they're fantastic. :hfive:

I've never heard of Digital Gunfire, but I'll definitely look into that. It's about time I stop mooching nice loud music from friends.

"Winamp playlist on shuffle" is a pretty accurate description, but often times mixes or new beats are used to seamlessly lead into the next song. 90% of the time, I don't notice a change in tracks until new lyrics start. I'm probably not describing this very well.

e: Okay 90% is a little generous.

It's probably just got a crossfading plugin turned on.

I haven't heard anything from And One beyond Bodypop, their version of Timekiller, and the song Computerstar. Gonna go through this thread again and pick out what people have mentioned to be good.

I'm also mildly surprised to find out how many of the songs I've heard on Dark Asylum that I've liked have turned out to be Seabound.

Check out I.S.T., 9.9.9. Uhr, and Virgin Superstar. Also Agressor is decent too.

The song is still available on their website (under downloads) but it's not as funny without the video.

Thanks! Totally playing that on my show this week.

Or, is this just a grandiose way of saying "Last Rights was the last proper Puppy album, and everything else has been varied attempts at fail."

Man, I hate this. It's completely ridiculous and very short-sighted. I don't get people who think like this.

Everyone know Too Dark Park was the last proper Skinny Puppy album. :smugdog:

There was Operation Beatbox which was all hip hop covers by industrial bands. Some good stuff, some ehhh.
Not much on youtube, which surprises me. Colla Destra's Wicked is pretty good, and the Society Burning track was decent, iirc. Gonna have to get it out of storage.

edit: Here, have this Clay People - Jump Around

Haha I loving love Clay People.

And there's always the classic:

Ogre had a few eye rolling turns^*, especially as of late. Stream of consciousness style stuff is usually scoff worthy, but he gets away with it I think when its combined with the sound sculptures those boys pulled off in their peak. I've liked the odd line here and there from the latter material, but (to me) lyrically nothing can touch that Too Dark Park and Last Rights material.

^* "Assimilate" is probably one of my favorite classic Puppy tracks, and up there in favorite songs in general. However, every time I hear it I still think the "rot and assimilate/so hot to annihilate" sounds weird. I think it's just his use of hot there that makes it sound cumbersome.

And we'll not discuss his rearranging of history to afford a rhyme for Kent State (at least he corrected himself in later live recordings).

If you're listening to / can understand industrial music lyrics, you're doing it wrong.

This is usually the point in the discussion where someone quotes the lyrics for Shaven, by Funker Vogt. The first line is "Shaven cunts gently caress much more horny" and it doesn't really get better from there onwards.

I also should have put a :haw:

in there because I was only half serious.

However, see also every lyric by Terminal Choice.

It would have been amazing because he could hardly stand. But sadly my friend was not willing to be put up as the prize.

Hahaha that's awesome. When Covenant and And One toured, they came to Detroit. As I was standing there watching And One, I happened to turn and Eskil was standing there, so I shook his hand and told him I DJed at the local Industrial club and that Covenant was very popular there. He smiled, nodded and said "Thank you." then stood there awkwardly for a few moments of silence.

Then I said "That's all, you can go." and he kind of went "oh, um okay..." and wandered off looking confused.

re: Delerium Semantic Spaces had a minor club hit in the form of "Incantation" but that album is still firmly seated in the electronica scene. If you're looking for ambient moody FLA instrumentals, then Semantic Spaces will probably be your threshold and the early stuff is what you want. Everything after Semantic Spaces careens off into goofy world music complete with Sarah Mclachalachalachlan and tribal chanting. Great if you want to host a yoga class for aging club goers. Not so keen if you are a CAT rear end now!! looking for an ideal soundtrack for conquering Finland.

I would say Flowers Become Screens is actually the bigger hit off that, at least around here. I recommend Delirium very highly, but as you say, it's not Electro-Industrial at all after Semantic Spaces- it's really closer to something like Enigma (which I also like). But it's more dance and club oriented, and if you like to watch the cute goth girls twisting around on the floor with their hands in the air, it's always a good thing to play.

It also has vocals by Kirsty Thirsk who I have to admit I'm very :swoon:

over. She has the most amazing voice.

Got the Bob Dylan project CD today in a very official-looking envelope! It's in a pretty neat DVD case with a thick as gently caress booklet all in Slovene. Really seems like they've put some effort and resources in this thing, real nice.

Especially crazy considering there was only one Funker track (F-117) that didn't clear the dancefloor.

Regardless of the douchebaggery, this statement is real? In Detroit, Funker Vogt always packs the floor.

there's still an industrial scene in detroit? i saw apop in pontiac in 2009 and there was NOBODY THERE

There still is, yes. One, Apop had a huge falling off with the Detroit fans after You and Me Against The World and two, Pontiac concerts (almost) always do badly since Industry shut down.
