kinda skimmed over it

very long

think I might go on a Negativland binge

Do you have their self-titled debut

I remember rec'ing it to you a year or two ago, total first-wave industrial worship

only [I]Escape From Noise[/I]

I really like it when they don't break out the guitars and sing

this song about Lime Soda is kinda lame, for instance

pretty sure Negativland already covered this post-awkward pop rock thing we have been discussing of late

new Thirlwell release is incredible, you guys

i might give a shot, does it sound anything like Meshuggah

closest comparison is probably In The Nursery, but i'll be damned if anyone here has listened to them

very cinematic sounding ambient

Some random recommendations -

"Lofticries" by Purity Ring
"Left Side Drive" by Boards of Canada
"Testure" by Skinny Puppy
"Isn't It Funny How Your Body Works" by Nitzer Ebb

btw Haz, a bit late but thanks for helping me with my senior project

I can't quite remember it, you were the guy looking for dystopic themes or something right?

haven't heard Purity Ring all those songs are great though

Yep you got it, was looking for something futuristic but dystopic works too. Interesting thing I noticed, through movies, books, games, etc -- the human view about the future is almost always dystopic...grim.

yeah we are constantly hung up on this idea our generation will be the last, it is no surprise we tend to think the future is headed for oblivion

have you read any J.G. Ballard? great dystopic sci-fi that influenced a lot of early industrial artists, David Cronenberg etc.

skip the mediocre Burroughs-worship that is Ballard and go right to Burroughs

The Ticket That Exploded is so post-modern it actually stops the narration to specifically explain his early industrial recording experiments

did Burroughs ever write any hard sci-fi, though?

i'm not recommending this completely based on post-modern appeal

I believe some of his later books like Blade Runner (totally different blade runner) and Ghost of Chance are more linear science fiction

The Nova Trilogy is definitely sci-fi in a weird sort of 'going back in time and brainwashing Mayan tribes to overthrow and kill the giant centipede they worship as a god' sort of way

yeah

I want to read [I]Naked Lunch[/I] again so I can reassess my position on it

I felt the same way about as you the first time i read it

The second time I liked it, and the third time made me a believer

you really can't read a trainwreck like that once and get it

I've found that often I once didn't really read books and take effort to comprehend them I would just skim through them and blame the author if nothing interested me

No matter how much a book pissed me off the first time I've never read something twice and not appreciated it the second time

yeah well

I don't tend to read books twice cause they eat up so much time

i can't understand that position

you're talking to some one whos currently reading The Stand and Desperation in back-to-back bursts

is that me by any chance

I like this version a lot better than the original

that was good

[QUOTE=GaggingOrder;18610090]is that me by any chance[/QUOTE]

kind of what was on my mind, lol

Hm...haven't read Ballard or Burroughs, I'll check out their work. I've read books by Isaac Asimov, Edward Bellamy, H.G. Wells, Jules Verne...etc.

is there good techno out there

tons

[I]recommend me one [/I]
