ebm/industrial

curious how many others here are into ebm/industrial stuff;
was into it pretty heavily before i started discovering
autechre and the like. i'd hope to think there was some
overlap between the genres; certainly there's a lot in
common that i can see (beyond the obscurity, of course).

managed to recover an old filled up 120 gig mp3 hard drive
drive the other day from a few years ago I thought I'd lost
in a data accident. been listening to the likes of haujobb,
skinny puppy, front 242, kmfdm, gridlock, wumpscut, covenant
and the like - good stuff!

haujobb's newest album, vertical theory, is quite nice, too;
got it the other day.

the soundwaves of the mentioned bands physically hurt me.
that's annoying.

i used to love this stuff back when i was younger... i
listened to every one of the above mentioned bands....
as far a some sort of connection goes between the two: in
general it's not too hard to see in certain cases... in
particular, I think of Atom Heart/Geeez'n'Gosh/Uwe
Schmidt/Senor Coconut who used to go by Lassigue Bendthaus
back when he was making relatively wicked EBM.... oh
memories...

the answer is NITZER EBB - I think they still sound fresh
even today
and latest Fixmer/McCarthy project - it's a pleasure to hear
his voice once again

I'd recommend gridlock but I see you got that covered
allready.

I dont know what EBM is, but Speedy J did an amazing
industrial album called 'a shocking hobby' but I'm sure you
know about that one.

indeed. some of gridlock's side projects aren't too bad,
either.

didn't think i'd still be into this stuff as heavily as i
used to be, but it's just as good as i remember it was.

on mentioning kmfdm though, what the fuck is up with the
most recent album? i didn't mind the mdfmk release, as
commercially orientated as it was (it was far more
electronic, which always goes down well in my books), but
the kmfdm release after this was kinda shit compared to
their earlier works. their latest sounds like a terrible
metal band. damn.

I <3 industrial music.
Front 242 is one of my favorite bands of any genre.
I also love Ministry, Skinny Puppy, Haujobb, Front Line
Assembly, some KMFDM and even *gasp* Nine Inch Nails.

The only 'industrial' album I've bought I really didn't care
for was Welcome to Earth by Apoptygma Berzerk. It was nice
enough but it was basically trance. I like trance and
especially synthpop, but if you're gonna call it
'industrial' it needs the noisy elements too.. a little bit
of an edge.

i personally think metropolis records' entire roster is
crap. i wouldn't be caught dead listening to something like
vnv nation; it's horseshit.

as for industrialish stuff (i'm not going to argue with
anyone, i don't really care if i'm categorizing it wrong and
mimi you moron, real industrial is cabaret fuck face,
throbbing cock, or skinny dick or whoever the fuck)...once
in a blue moon i like to throw in a little chemlab, skinny
puppy, nine inch nails (omg she said the n word), older
ministry...but that's about it...it was better when i didn't
know music without lyrics existed (ha ha, well of course i
knew it existed, but i didn't know about anything but moby
fergodsake, and ya know how attractive THAT is)...lyrics are
really the downfall of this genre, save for like, ministry
or some a couple bands that are actually have something to
say and don't just luck out on a baller synth line. not
that i can really understand what al jourgensen's saying,
but it sounds like something to me! i love chemlab, but i
don't want to listen to some guy singing about sniffing glue
and molecules or whatever, and i really can't stomach it
nowadays very often.

i never thought kmfdm-like music is industrial, and do not
agree with the term. it's just techno+rock.
Something mad, like shaking stones in bottles, drumming on
various crap, imitating or using recorded sounds of
machinery - that's what should be called industrial music,
not rammstein ansectors...

and what is gridlock doin in that list? does, or did, he
play industrial sometimes?

noooo! this should be called Draft 7.30 :D

as for Gridlock - yes, their earlier albums had more
industrial flavor... and btw, Gridlock is actually two guys

Yeah, Apoptygma has been on the trance-tip on his latest
albums, but he did some trance-stuff with another norwegian
dj back in 95, so I guess he's has the credentials to back
it up.
Nevertheless, his stuff can easily be linked to the
EBM-scene, especially the pre Welcome to Earth albums, and
all he has kind of updated the sound using the trance-stabs
and stuff.
I enjoy Apop, but I do get a bit bothered with the trance
stuff he puts in. To distance myself from/repress this fact
I tend to label his music as just synth:)

my honest opinion is genres (as in, labelling music) is
reasonably stupid considering how diverse a lot of this kind
of music is.

people do tend to associate such artists with
ebm/industrial; i understand it may not be 'technically
correct', but it gets the point across. i remember having
conversations with some guys i knew who were nin obsessed
(i'm not perfect, i spent stupid amounts of money collecting
the full halo set at one stage); they'd claim that nin
wasn't industrial, which is fair enough, but then couldn't
actually place a genre that they fitted in apart from some
vague description like you just did with kmfdm.

we need a better way to cateogrize music.

yeah, labelling is stupid - to hell all labels! (Warp,
Rephlex, Mego, Touch, Virgin/EMI/BMG/SONY etc)

i remember (or think that i remember) that at first
industrial bands were that shakin stones and scratchin rusty
metal surfaces. But in some years KMFDM appeared and became
industrial, along with skinny puppy, which i yet hate a
little.
To heck genres.

Matvey, please get Skinny Puppy's Last Rights.

in case you already have it, give it a listen... i hope your
opinion of the band will change forever.

this album is absolutely amazing from beginning to end...
one of the best albums ever, of any genre.

No we need to stop catagorizing music. Which is funny
because i think that anything that blatently falls into a
catagory usually ends up being 'not as good' as something
thats hard to catagorize. Thats why some fuck-face made up
"IDM" because they didn't know what catagory Aphex,
SQpusher, AE, etc fell into...

"if you like this, try this" is pretty much how i have found
everything i listen to, and isn't that what a genre is?

i remember back in the audiogalaxy days, a major feature of
it the entire community was based around was its ability to
track simular artists by people sharing music. i discovered
a hell of a lot of music that way (heh, ironically enough, a
lot of ebm/industrial, i believe).

i know soulseek has something like it, but it's not
implemented in way where it's a major feature of the
software and the community isn't based around it, so hardly
anybody uses it and it tends to suck.
