"horse rotorvator"

"love's secret domain"

consult the i ching for the third...

depends what/which style(s) you prefer... they have
industrial, drone ambient, dark ambient, noise, and a lot of
unclassifiable weirdness...

i'd recommend first:
• Musick To Play In The Dark, vol.1

and:
• Moon's Milk [in four phases]

and then it depends on what you want:
• Scatology or Horse Rotorvator, if you like industrial
(those are the easiest to get into, by the way)
• Astral Disaster, if you like weird ambientesque music
• Time Machines, ANS or Queens Of The Circulating Library,
if you like minimal drone ambient (Queens etc. is just one
long piece - and with vocals)
• Love's Secret Domain, if you like... uh...
{industrial+electro+weird}ness... (IDM fans seem to like
this one a lot)
• Constant Shallowness Leads To Evil, if you like noise
music (like Merzbow) - this is the only noise album they've
made by the way...
• The Remote Viewer which is just totally awesome and
unique, if you can picture something like ambient with
bagpipes...
• Musick To Play In The Dak, vol.2 - which is as good as
vol.1, and resembles to it but through a weird distorted
glass/dream (and is much harder to get into)...

"horse rotorvator" isn't particularly "industrial," is it?

...and neither does Scatology; it certainly doesn't sound
like Ministry or Wumpscut etc, you're right... but that's
what they're classified into most of the time, and i can't
really find a good description for their sound...

it is basically. their early albums best represent
straight-up industrial music, imo. their later works still
have that sort of style for sure, but are perhaps
equally-influenced by other styles of music (electronic,
noise, drone, etc).

that's the point - ministry isn't even close to the true
definition of industrial music. ministry started out as
synth-pop and then metal - very little to do with industrial
music. industrial is stuff like throbbing gristle, early
ptv, coil, cabaret voltare.

true, very hard to pin down "horse rotorvator." there's a
leonard cohen cover, weird sampling and emulator
programming... it's not techno or club oriented, more song
and atmosphere oriented, a very unique recording...

when i think industrial, i think abrasive, mechanical,
noisy, but "horse rotorvator" comes from a small, quiet and
dark candlelit room with no roof and the stars are out...

it's fun to describe the indescribable...

i suppose there's a lot of room for opinion, but it seems
that coil is called industrial by reputation mostly...

i would agree that "scatology," though unique, fits the
industrial bill... but "horse rotorvator" is largely a
different animal...

i think individuals who are expecting "industrial" might be
surprised when they hear "horse rotorvator."

i think that "twitch" by ministry may be as much industrial
as synth pop. maybe i'd prefer to think of "industrial" as
a quality and not a style. most "industrial" records
incorporate other flavors/qualities/approaches...

on another note, my cat is afraid of the mop and is off to
hide under the bed...

well, you're right that scatology is more
industrial-sounding than horse rotorvator. i still maintain
that coil is categorically industrial. they're actually a
great example of industrial.

em... okay, i suck with genres : )


penexpers: tell me about it... they were already way
difficult (and taking way too much time, always months of
delay) to buy before world serpent (the distributor)
died, but now that world serpent is dead, i guess it's
nearly impossible : /

there was Strange Fortune before, but their stock of world
serpent releases is nearly empty now...

i have no idea. maybe if you're lucky...
otherwise, use soulseek.

categorically industrial? a great example of industrial?
but most of their records have very little in common with
what is generally considered "industrial" music. what are
the qualities you associate with "industrial"?
again, their identification with "industrial" seems more by
reputation than actual musical output...

anyway, off to go drive around in the rain. happy
listening!

i listed a few groups that are industrial music earlier.
industrial isn't just a strict aesthetic, it is an art
movement. their connection to industrial music is not based
on "reputation", it is based on the fact that they made
industrial music.

there is an incomplete, glossy definition here

there's a pretty big difference between the bulk of music
that gets characterized as industrial (Front 242, Ministry,
Frontline Assembly, Psychic TV), and the bands who are more
or less responsible for it's creation, ie: Throbbing
Gristle
i like r40f's idea that it is a little bit more than just
certain formal patterns in the music... that said i always
just end up thinking of the true innovators and iconoclasts
(TG, Coil, Hafler Trio, Foetus, Organum, NWW, Current 93,
Zoviet France, etc.) as post-industrial... i guess because
they were able to take some of the original aesthetic ideals
and bleed them into pretty much any form of music they
touched... as for horse rotorvator: seems like an odd mix of
maybe something relatively "industrial" and maybe something
on the experimental end of goth...? great album anyhow

r4of, that link seems to demonstrate that the bulk of coil's
output is not "industrial" music at all... a lot of these
so-called industrial records i heard at the time they were
released. i owned many of those records, and still own some
of them. imo, calling "industrial" an art movement is a
stretch to say the least.

i still think that coil seems lumped into the label due to
their connection to throbbing gristle and some of their
first records, a very small portion of their
catalog..."love's secret domain," i think, would not be
labeled "industrial" if it had been released by an unknown
artist on an unknown label. yet there it is on discogs,
identified as "industrial."

labels cannot be facts. so we agree to disagree...
