Zyklon B Zombie posted:Hm, I'd like to see Dismantled live. I never have caught Front Line Assembly live. Are they any good? I've always been a little bit leery after that fake Bill Leeb incident a while back. I saw them when they toured for Implode. I thought it was a pretty weak show, but I'm going to see them on this tour anyway, because, hey, nothing wrong with having a few beers and hearing some movie samples.

I always find it interesting how wildly tastes diverge even within such a narrow category, such as "people who like FLA." I kinda like everything up to and including FLAvour of the Weak, and then thought it was all poopcrap after that. Although I keep buying each new album and will usually find at least one jam that I dig.

hatelull posted:Also, and take this for what it's worth, I really only enjoy it on headphones or played Loud on a decent stereo. If I listen to it at work on my rubbish Altec-Lansing PC speakers it comes off as flat. I wish I had a better handle on audio jargon so I could describe this better, but even on a good system, there's something about the mixing of the album that lacks... something. I think even cheating by adding a tiny bit of distortion on the high end and cranking the bass a tad would help. It's like... compressed... or something. This is all a bit technical.  I dig the music, but the lack of sonic... texture... is not pleasing my ears.

Anybody want 2 tickets to the NYC FLA show? Stuff came up, so they're up for grabs. They're in PDF form from ticketweb, and it says in the email that you don't need to be the one who bought them to get in with 'em, so I can just forward the email on. Can't get a refund or anything, so I may as well give them to someone who will use them. PM me or email me at tentaclesex @ the email service everyone uses unless they're some weirdo stuck in the 90s.

Hip-hop and industrial share a lot of DNA. They're also the only two genres of music that I listen to, so this poo poo is right up my alley. I think a less jokey approach to it could yield some excellent results, though I appreciate what you were going for here and find it fun.

Yeah. Ogre pulls off semi-nonsense lyrics in a way that seems artsy and deep in that "I guess I'm just not tuned in enough to get it" sort of way. Bill Leeb's lyrics are straight retarded.

Speaking of FLA, what's up with their B-sides almost universally being their best songs? edit: also, how fun is it when you're watching some lovely science fiction or horror movie and you recognize a sample from some song you jammed out to in high school?

The Cleaner posted:I'll agree it sounds rreeally promising... however I'm finding this one sounds way more Download than the structured OhGr.. lots of glitchy drums and wobbly synths. I got a strong Download vibe too. Well, I guess it makes sense for modern SP to sound like a hybrid of Download and Ohgr, right? Works for me.

Hey everyone, I just wanted to pop in here and show off a poster I just had framed. I've had it for a while, but didn't have a good place to put it. I just moved though, so I got to start over in terms of decoration, so this guy is now hovering over the sofa.

Haha, I love how random that collection of poo poo is.

The Cleaner posted:There were lots of 90's bands that went for that 80's sound but never really went anywhere as I think many went too far in doing the SP/NIN impersonations as opposed to doing that style their own way. That's the thing. In theory, one might want a band that sounds like classic Skinny Puppy, but in reality, what made SP great was experimentation and evolution. A band that tries to sound like a bunch of forgotten B-sides from an earlier point in some other band's career is not interesting. What I'm saying is Necro Facility sucks.

Danger - Octopus! posted:Do you know what else is terrible? This lovely Soman remix of Blue Monday This sounds like it was made entirely with built-in samples and presets in an old version of Fruity Loops. Nothing against people who actually use Fruity Loops well, because it's a perfectly viable tool if you're not a jerk.

You see, because Orgy covered Blue Monday, and... well, don't worry about it. Maybe you're trolling us by being obtuse, but I have to put a stop to this either way.

RizieN posted:fruity loops 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 rock drum samples definitely give it an older industrial rock sound, too. I'm enjoying it. I'd like a bit more textural variety between songs, though, as it gets a bit samey. (Although there's something to be said for having a cohesive sound. It's easy to get carried away with the freedom afforded by electronic music.) As for approaching labels... do you really need one? https://itunesconnect.apple.com/WebObjects/iTunesConnect.woa/wa/apply

It's frustrating when people miss the point so widely. Disagreement is fine, but it's like they're not even participating in the conversation. It's tough, because when you think about social issues, you expect others to at least understand the language. People (like Rainer) who have never given it serious thought don't really have the tools to engage, though.

Ugh, I just got sucked into bouncing around Wikipedia looking at genre stuff.Wikipedia posted:While EBM has a minimal structure and clean production, electro-industrial has a deep, complex and layered sound, incorporating elements of ambient industrial. The style was pioneered by Skinny Puppy, Front Line Assembly, and Wumpscut:. In the mid-'90s, the style spawned the dark electro and aggrotech offshoots. I guess on some level it's right, but it's so reductive, and the terminology all makes me wanna barf. Why would someone write such a thing? "Aggrotech (also known as Hellectro,)…" God drat it.

What a ridiculous and obtuse position. Although I guess he'd shy away from taking responsibility for having anything as extreme as a position. Political expression through art is an extremely important facet of culture. Does Rainer think Picasso, Orwell, Chuck D and Joan Baez are a bunch of assholes for using art as a political vehicle? I should stop getting mad, as he's obviously just a huge idiot with no ambition.

Pope Guilty posted:I hate when people talk like your politics are some separate and compartmentalized part of you. That's aggressively stupid and never in service to anything good. It reminds me of video game developers who make FPS games about shooting brown people in the middle east; they're always quick to disavow any political statement. I don't know if it's more naivety or cowardice, but just claiming to be apolitical doesn't take your work out of the context of, you know, the world into which you release it.

Not really the same type of music, but since there's a lot of fan overlap anyway, I'll point out that the Neubauten album 9-15-2000, Brussels is killer. Excellent recording quality and fantastic performances. Nothing beats actually being there and seeing them perform, but if you like live albums, that's a great one.

Since we're talking about "the scene" and what's wrong with it ( ), I guess this is relevant: http://www.idieyoudie.com/2012/07/storytime-with-uncle-pathogen-july-12th-2012/Not that I endorse his views. Personally, I don't care if the genre is dead or not... the old stuff is still available to listen to (aside from some hard-to-find albums), and there are other areas in which the stuff that made industrial interesting is still being explored. Sure, "industrial night" at the club tends to be a total shitshow, but whatever. There's plenty of interesting, experimental music out there.

boo_radley posted:yeah, their split with EHC was not good. They were amazing together, but separate they just had no tension. I don't know how much the departure of Buck Ryder (Thomas Thorn) had to do with it. I think people exaggerate the "split" that occurred. He was hired as a live performer, stuck around for a couple of albums, and then went on his way… at least that's how they tell the story these days. I've seen TKK live like a million times, and it's never not been fun, even when I haven't been into whatever the new material was. They know what the fans want to hear*, and they generally turn in a fun performance. It's at its best with (some incarnation of) the Bomb Gang Girlz and Charles Levi on the scene. *which is not to say that they always play the same hits, but they rotate through a bunch of classics.
