    Good Industrial music that you can recommend

    *FLA fist bump*

    I went through all my FLA CDs earlier this year when I was getting acquainted with my new van's stereo.  So good!  I really enjoy everything up to and including Implode.  That album was my introduction to them.  The production on that one was pretty ahead of the game.  Placticity is such a classic.  The Haujobb remix off that single is killer too. 

    :beer:

     

    Especially Prophecy from Implode is good. Yet, the late 90's stuff can't beat the stuff from Leeb and Fulber duo. Funnily enough I can't stand TNI. Has some good songs, but there are better versions of them on Live Wired (wtf, no DVD/ Blu-ray release still). In general, imo the biggest strength of FLA is that the songs are very well balanced, possibly thanks to Greg Reely. Neither synths, samples or guitars jump to your face. In example, look at Velvet Acid Christ. God, the thousand or so samples from Se7en on Phucking Phreak makes me want to shove pencils to my ears.

     

    Found my Haujobb discs as well. Find their discography quite (or maybe too) varied; every album seems to be more or less different from the previous one. Like, there's a big leap from early (serious) FLA mimicking of Homes & Gardens to ambient of Ninetynine to the more Drum'n Bass influenced Polarity. Myer's voice isn't really the strongest element of their stuff.

    I emphatically second anyone who said Ministry, Skinny Puppy, KMFDM, Godflesh and Coil (especially Love’s Secret Domain). And I’m surprised that (unless I missed it somewhere) no one has mentioned My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult or Pigface (they are an industrial super group with a revolving door of legends). TKK’s Confessions Of A Knife is a classic. So is anything Pigface did between Gub and Washing Machine Mouth.

    Heard a few times TKK mentioned, but never bothered to check them out. Tried Pigface which sounded too much like what it was - a super group. Little similar to Revolting Cocks. Coil had their moments, although I did find them too "cult" or something. Ministry, Skinny Puppy and KMFDM were the groups I was more into. Too Dark Park and Angst were stellar. Now thinking of it, I think I really underrated Xtort. But anything by KMFDM after Symbols is just shit. Not even going to type imo, because they really are.

     

    Other names I remember mentioned frequently were Cubanate (iirc someone mentioned them earlier here too) and Clock DVA.....and :wumpscut:

    Rediscovered Front Line Assembly after 10+ break. This was the shit back in the day before turning myself into 100% IDM trend nerd. Was more a Skinny Puppy fan but in my case FLA seems to have stood the test of time better (the 90's stuff that is, can't really get into post 2000 stuff). Kinda thrilled about this. Glad I didn't sold my discs at one point. Some picks:

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Okay they're way more EBM than pure industrial butwhatevs (and [FLA]vour Of the Weak is very strongly Techno influenced). But it's all Industrial, eh???

     

    Also, have been digging Download's Furnace:

    100 points for originality:

     

     

     

     

     

    I can't tell if I'm super impressed about the effort put to the aping or should I just give a huge facepalm. Didn't know this was a thing (apparently)

     

     

     

     

     

     

    LD50 is a ridiculously awesome album

     

    finally someone agrees

     

    Saw the promo vid for Dig and it made a big impact. The album had so many good tracks -4, Everything and Nothing and Nothing to Gein come to mind. Another band which I dug from "Sickness collective" was American Head Charge. Saw them when they opened for Slipknot back in 2002. I actually liked their set better. So War Of Art was another winner. Aside for those two I really dug Dog Fashion Disco (SOAD/Bungle inspired stuff)

     

     

    Fetus on The Beat (the version from Committed To a Bright Future) was/is also :music:

     

    lol Spiral, your Clutch is too underground for this thread. Never liked Papa Roach or Linkin Park though so I must have still some street credibility here. Also, need to point out that Mushroomhead was just poop....and so was Downthesun

    New countdown, new release? [Aphex Twin Warp Store]

    Would be nice to get 'box energy 4 remix 1' in full flac-o-vision (Crosses fingers)

     

    flacs sound the same as mp3

     

    also 44100 samples/second is way too many. you only need like 4

     

    I've got only 192 k mp3 version which I grabbed straight from SC. Has it been available anywhere else with higher bitrate? 320 kbps / FLAC would be nice.

    The only thing I don't like about the bleep store is doesn't have the rephlex and r&s stuff.

    You maybe know this but Rephlex stuff will be added there at some point. Or so Rich said. Thought it would be soOon when the shop opened but, oh well :sad:

    I was pretty fond of my green cargo pants.  So many pockets.  The problem with pants today is there just aren't enough pockets.

    Cargo pants (M-65, BDU, call them what you want) are the only pants I wear. I love how I always have a big pocket available + they're comfortable to wear and durable. Don't need to buy that fancy male purse. :emotawesomepm9: I just hate jeans. Most uncomfortable piece of clothing imo.

     

    I have a stack of old Metal Hammers and Terrorizers which I've been revisiting lately just for laughs and there are some hilarous stuff. I.e. take this one old Slipknot interview. How pompous do these sound: "I want the biggest metal breakdown ever" - #6 Clown (haha got that right), "There would be a big pile of corpses at truck stops" - #7 Mick "Hate" Thomson, "I crave for total insanity"- #8 Corey Taylor plus many other class A proclamations. Maybe 15 yo me took them with awe. Strikes some teen nerve I guess

     

    But new metal....dudes, you always overlook CC

     

     

    bumping, bumping and looking eh, full of colours

     

    On a totally serious note, at the time MH, Terrorizer and Earache tooted this as the best thing of the decade (that is until System Of A Down S/T came):

    Really wish Rich would continue to upload the old stuff after he'll finally get his precious customized tape deck back from repaire/maintainance. I know he said he will most likely use his bleepstore for the new archive uploads too, but imo Souncloud would be more handy with that kind of project. He could put the best gems available to purchase to the bleepstore and put the others to soundcloud (with downloads embedded of course :spiteful: ). Would lower the bar to put "not the most perfect" tracks there too and dunno if it would be reasonable to master every one the new tracks anyway. And since the comment thing was so important to most of people, sc would take care of that too. Yes, you can make comments on Bleepstore too, but the discussion on sc was more track orientated.

     

    I'm just being greedy and mingy. AFX SC was the best thing ever and would really love to see it continued since the execution was perfect. The totally randomness was also a big part of the appeal. Never knew what period was going on at the moment. Could be totally different style and period from the last track uploaded.  I'll live in hope.

    Does anyone remember that comment by aphex, that he was working on 2 syro tracks AFTER syro that weren't finished? one ended up being End E2. I just realized that the other one is probably T69 Collapse. IT sounds the most syro in terms of synthesis and drum programming, and the other tracks sound more recent what with the crazy panning.

     

    Agreed yeah, I was thinking that earlier today actually.

     

    I don't recall his comment though.

     

    For some reason I always assumed the other track was MARCHROMT, which was slipped to limited Japan edition of Syro at the last minute (i.e. the other tracks were handed out to Warp a way earlier, so in principle Syro was already "done"). Somehow remember I read it from Syro thread. Possibly a false memory as no-one else have brought it up by now.

    MNLTH - DEMOTAPE (Cassette Series)

    Jeez, bad. I can understand they were all little touchy thanks to the shit in their personal life at the time. My guess is that you happened to give the final spark to lit the fire with, like you said, a fucking joke which meant nothing. It could have been basically anything, just gave a reason to let some fume out. But it's little hypocrite, as we are now talking about a genre which isn't known for a clean healthy way of life where only green things can be found from your salad plate and only pills you take are vitamins.

     

    And you are totally right, if the ordering options are cryptic as hell, there's no point of complaining if paying customers are left little confused. Sometimes it's even a mystery what you end up getting in the end. Like in this MNLTH case, we didn't even have any sound samples or anything. Only an email address where to send the payment for either one cassette or for the whole series. Maybe we are just so dumb that we buy anything without questions asked. But yeah, that's enough stirring the shit. Maybe we will get an explanation at some point. :mellow:

    So the other volumes coming were Rave Tape, Techno Tape, Mixtape and...anyone remember what's missing? iirc it was the next in line with the "set". It must be something really shit Dave is going through, but this total radio silence is super lame especially since people really paid that 80£.

     the mount vernon OST EDM weirdness (to which the guy making it happen wrote me an angry email saying stop whinging on watmm) but this is next level.

    what was all that about? Sounds quite weird from JK. I believe I ranted way much more than you about the set. Hell, that was the reason why I decided to join the happy watmm family.

    This one is getting surprisingly lot of praise even on afx fanboy standards. Yes, it's good and all, but I have to confess I really like Cheetah more. imo it's the strongest one of these latest ep's, although general consensus seems to be quite opposite. True, I've had a whole year to let it sink fully in and like I've said, I'm little slow with getting totally in with new music so not giving my final judgment too soon. T69's, both of 'em, have become my favorites from the EP, passed even the holy MT1 track.

    Question for people who bought the tape.

     

    Will you actually ever listen to it?

    More appropriately, can you listen to it (who has a tape deck these days)?

    I posted a thread asking this question a while back. Overwhelmingly most people have a means to playback cassettes

     

    Yup Joyboss, there has been a somewhat big tape revival phenomenon which begun a couple of years ago, mostly thanks to small indie labels. The tape thing never left the true underground scene (sic) but it has now resurfaced for the masses. fletcher's question is legitimate though since there is some hipster element absent too. Makes your shelfie look better.
