Industrial I used to like now sounds like pop to me

Some bands I would add to that list

In the future, I’m convinced that Laibach is going to be remembered as one of the most perceptive artists of their day. They nailed so much that they sometimes seem like fucking prophets… their studio album Spectre (in 2014) felt so much it was addressing these past couple of years of rising populism here and in Europe… songs like Eurovision and Walk With Me especially nail what’s happening since the refugee crisis and then various protest movements happening.

ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS! Seriously, like one of the best I have ever been to! We got kicked out of… uh… DV8 or the Trocadero or something SOMA in '94 because the audience started taking our clothers off and made a bonfire out of them in the middle of the floor. Show continued outside. :smiley:

Haw! Very smooth.

Smooth as nose cream:

I suspect those of us participating in this thread could have a rad dinner and/or cocktail party with Mindysan33 spinning the relevant beats and taking requests.

Some friends and I acclimated to Cold Life and “Every Day Is Halloween” vintage Ministry showed up at One Step Beyond to see them live when they gave an album tour for Land of Rape And Honey and had our minds go a-splode.

“Go a-splode” in a very good way.

I just love Fever Ray. For a while, I didn’t get Haxan Cloak, then one day, I just did. Gonna listen to the rest of these, I haven’t heard of them.

Ok, so just as @Melz2 has the perma-invite to all my parties, you have the guest industrial perma-DJ invite to all my parties. :wink:

Other genres also welcome but we’ve yet to nerd out on mid-century Brazilian pop, folk-punk, 70s Danish experimental rock opera, etc.

Alternately: a vinyl party where folks take turns tossing a disk side onto the turntable works for me.

I love me some classic Ministry. For fun and in regards to the whole purity and pop underpinnings here is Mr Jourgensen before he refined his sound and presentation. :rofl:

The word love doesn’t come close to what I feel for Fever Ray’s first album.

It is slow and moody and take some time to get to know. Sort of the opposite of what a good pop song does by either hooking you immediately (or not). Same with Murcof. But while they don’t have that instant hook there is something about them the slowly pulls you under and won’t let you go.

Remind me some classic Plastikman.

I have drifted a bit from the original topic maybe.

Here is something new from Author & Punisher. I love his custom built rigs.

Sorry, but that is objectively false.

The Laibach and NK marriage is so weird - yet makes so much sense in a way.

And since someone mentioned Negativland and My Favorite Things in the same thread…

I saw Crash Worship in concert once in a warehouse in Oakland - it one of the most bizarre yet awesome experiences in my life.

Ain’t it the truth. Amazing days.

Indeed. You don’t listen to Crash Worship so much as experience it.

For old school who is still at it, PIG had some good songs on his newest album last year. The videos were very 90s too.

There’s a couple vids on YouTube, but low quality (which seems appropriate).

Negativland/Chumbawmba collaboration. Too mainstream?

I saw Laibach when they toured the U.S. in support of their “Volk” release. The audience didn’t really get it. The songs weren’t the foot-stomping industrial songs they wanted to hear. But the songs were and are deeply great, insightful and dangerously political.
