[QUOTE=Ventriloquist;17812208]Haven't heard the band but Foetus was mentioned in the thread so the statement is false.[/QUOTE]


I was of course exaggerating. I haven't went through this entire thread.

Having a synth presence literally doesn't relate you to industrial in any way.

But I suppose i could listen to this celldweller and come back with some sort of diagnosis.

[QUOTE=rasputin;17811812]what's everyone's favourite aidan baker album?

i've only heard scalpel and his stuff in nadja or with tim hecker, so ive started downloading 7 of his albums that looked cool/had decent ratings on RYM[/QUOTE]

Scalpel, The Sea Swells a Bit... and Candescence are up there for me. Also his album with Tim Hecker.

I have 12 albums by the guy and I think I'm still missing more than half of his discog, haha.

[QUOTE=bloc;17812013]Speaking of genres, I still get confused. What is real industrial then? Because I know many of the people who think a band is industrial is actually industrial rock/metal.[/QUOTE]

Well, idk about "real" industrial as such (I think Alex is being a little over the top) but a lot of the first wave bands grew out of performance art collectives and were musically about dissonant tape loops, custom percussion, samples, analogue drum machines etc. Sort of a fusion of electronic, noise, post-punk and ambient influences.

Check out Throbbing Gristle's [I]The Second Annual Report[/I], Cabaret Voltaire's [I]Mix-Up[/I], SPK's [I]Information Overload Unit[/I], Thomas Leer & Robert Rental's [i]The Bridge[/i], Boyd Rice's [i]The Black Album[/i], The Worst Of Monte Cazazza and Maurizio Bianchi's [I]Mectpyo Blut[/I]. Should get you grounded in the early stuff, idk quite how much you'll like it but should be a worthwhile history lesson in any case :p

I've never seen that photo of him before.

Haz check out the album I posted on the Links to demos.. thread. Wanna hear ur feedback. I'm looking forward to yours too Alex.

k man, I had a look at it before and was planning to download it later

will do soon

[QUOTE=Mr. Ron;17812703]Can someone recommend me some poppy/upbeat stuff?[/QUOTE]

Take it to the black metal thread. But in all seriousness industrial doesn't get any poppier and more upbeat than the Thrill Kill Kult album Haz rec'd. And Nine Inch Nail's first demo, [I]Purest Feeling[/I].

I'll definitely download that album tomorrow, Murat.

And Haz, you'd do well to get Cazazza's [I]Power Versus Wisdom[/I]. It's him playing some of the more post-punk oriented material from the Worst Of album live, and Chris & Cosey make an appearance or two.

Yeah, that stuff was good.

I'll check it out, thanks.

I don't think Sonne Hagal gets enough attention. Anyone enjoy them?

Alright, thread title is getting kind of ridiculous but unless there are any other suggestions it'll do.

Teutonic Men In Leather Skirts Making Dance Music With European Folk Influence Megathread

I like it.

would probably be more suited to the community thread though

****K YESS. Autechre coming to my town.

they do live shows?

I thought they would be a studio only entity somehow

electronica shows


heil two people standing still behind laptops

bobbing heads up and down whilst monitoring through headphones is common as well

yeah that too

idk i want to put a band together and play some shows but i want to keep the industrial element to a minimum at times so im not stuck behind a laptop or a synth just standing there

i'd rather sing and have a big tom or bass drum to beat on so i can dance and beat myself with the microphone and what not

naked teenage girls covered in pigs blood would make a nice contrast at a pink and yellow concert

yeah i want lots of gimmicky shock value like that

I made a base for a very post punk influenced track earlier this week

if I work on it could end up being something i'm happy with

I've just been kicking around the same four or five song ideas i kept up with like a year or two ago

Need to get with my friend and work out some sort of arrangements, i've got a couple riffs and melodies

[I]nin made industrial cool[/I]

i said it lololol

I think NIN is the most important thing to happen to post-industrial since the 80's , that's for sure.

hence hipster adoration from people like Alex

Nine Inch Nails made me into the person I am

Like, I used to listen to Pantera before I discovered nin.

lol I went through a Pantera phase as well

I never really caught the NIN bug, unless you count listening to Marilyn Manson's [I]Antichrist Superstar[/I] a lot. It has some admirable production.

I really like this track until the horrible vocoder voice at the end.

I havent given that a spin in a really long time, I've been meaning to pick up the Manson discography tho.

I can't believe you don't like [I]Year Zero[/I], dude. Masterpiece.

I did like it.

I found it kinda patchy though.

You'd probably find a lot to love on Ghosts I-IV, it's this instrumental ambient thing he did with like bells and acoustic guitars and ****

[QUOTE=Meatplow;17815787]they do live shows?

yeah they do. apparently they are quite good live. live mixes <3

Should be good.

[I]Ghosts I-IV[/I] looks like an awful lot of music to digest.

yeah ive only listened to it like once

Haz which drumkit do you use with Ableton?

edit: retarded question nvm. I put it up before I started fiddling with the program.

We should just change the name of this thread to "Official Have a Conversation with Haz Thread"

Official Have a Conversation With Haz While Alex Spouts Nonsense In The Background Thread

just call it 'haz' like those talk shows 'maury' and 'tyra'

this chick made me start watching tyra and holy **** ive seen some crazy things on that. 17yr old that is still a baby, chick with 2 vaginas, its such amazing stuff.

17 year old baby? That's stupid as hell to imagine.
