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.

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.

That was my worst fear

Guess I'll just keep it in my memory.

I'd love to find some industrial club. I always imagined they're all in germany and that I'd go and dress up and rock out to sick industrial poo poo in a club getting wild.

I think my brother and I are two of 10 people who still listen to Industrial in our city.

I wish there were Industrial nights somewhere, god knows there's enough 'Wobble Wednesdays' and other Dub step gigs. Oh and tons of 'Euro Parties' with house music. Where's my Industrial?

Yea I don't dress the part either, but if KMFDM ever came back to town I'd totally get all S&Med out with my wife and go have a hardcore german freak night with her.

I've said it before, but y'all need to visit the big German goth festivals at some point. They'll blow your loving mind

e: What I'm saying is that industrial (well, mostly its derivatives) is literally top-50 mainstream in Germany. It's pretty interesting.

Can you recommend a good one for some American's willing to make the trip? Also any towns/places to stay/all the poo poo a foreigner might want to know before diving in head first? I'd loving love to go to some German goth/industrial festival. Even though I'm more on the hippie-festival side of the spectrum, industrial will always hold a special place in my heart. My wife speaks the most minimal of German, so... I guess that might help us get around a little bit, my last trip to Germany sucked cause I was really young (12) and just wanted to get to France to see all the boobs. So regardless I'd like to do a legitimate Euro-trip now that I'm older.

Yea I figured we'd be fine with English, but if we go we're going to want to do poo poo off the beaten path and see other parts Germany that aren't exactly tourist spots. We generally go to the 'main sights' like one day, then just wander around aimlessly trying to find cool poo poo on our own and talking to locals. The festival would just be another good excuse to get on the other side of the Atlantic.

Enormously jealous.

Hey! KMFDM is doing a thing:

http://www.kmfdmstore.com/
"The KMFDM Store will be closing for remodeling at the end of March. For one week only EVERY item in the Store is on SALE plus many rare, limited, or sold out items will be purged from the KMFDM Vault. If there is anything you've been wanting, now is the time to get it! All orders will receive free posters, stickers, postcards, etc. Watch for the Store to return sometime in April with a new look, new items and preorders for KMFDM's forthcoming Amnesia CD!"

Siiiiick, too bad theres only 1 LP on vinyl though. But the prices were right so I grabbed some singles too.

I don't even know who SKOLD is but I bought the LP from the KMFDM site when they had that sale and they just sent this:

We are sending you this e-mail to inform you that the SKOLD vs KMFDM LP is no longer in stock. Normally in a situation like this we would offer you another item in exchange but since we have no more items to offer in exchange we have no choice but to refund you for the SKOLD vs KMFDM LP. We will ship the rest of your order to you along with plenty of extra items. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

I hope the 'plenty of extra items' is something cool! But the LP was 10 loving dollars, so really I don't care about them 'making up for it' per se. But of all bands I've been huge fans of KMFDM seems to really care about their fans.

Glorious, then I'll definitely have to start checking them out. Thanks.

I was so pissed when I heard rumors that KMFDM "broke up" and the remaining members made MDFMK... but it all worked out and I have very fond memories of my Sony CD Walkman on the bus going to school blasting that loving album. I haven't heard it since then, but I imagine I'd probably still like it just because of nostalgia.

Definitely gonna grab some of SKOLD's poo poo after work today, along with a bottle and some loving weed. Today at work has been pretty fitting for some heavy industrial poo poo... I'm ready to tear the place down.

So my stuff came in, aside from what I ordered they added Kraut & Today 7", A documentary and/or the Sturm & Drang tour DVD, a shitload of stickers and postcards. My wife texted me this so I can't wait to go home and check it all out!
