Bastard. I wanted to interrogate you.
he's a swede. the only thing you'll get out of him is abba is the
betest pop band in the world and bork bork bork.
LOL.
Long story as to why, but I'm drowing in a sea of electro, and I want his
brain, preferably sliced.
It must be like this for kids as they discover new genres.
Soon as the tide starts ebbing, let me know, and I'll pass you my
favorites list.
Not sure the tide will ebb. Not sure I want it to.
The first morning after loading up the MP3 player from the new source,
I discovered A23 and Apop.
Now listening to Xe-None, "Digital Fucker". 641 of 663.
A23's collection of _very_ sweet electro-EBM ballads, if you can conceive
such a thing, on _Storm_, almost killed me-- I really really have a thing
about the more or less simple balladic ABABABAB*** stanza/chorus
structure, on a par with my thing about guitars.
Not sure what your thing about guitars is. Hatred?
I decided back in the early '70s that there were too many guitars in the
world (not counting basses, especially fretless) and not enough keyboards
Don't think it was quite the same thing, but around the same time I decided
that bands without synths in weren't worth listening to.
Post by mimusand woodwinds (I was an immediate and natural zealot of the Van der Graaf
cult, until Hammill started fancying himself a rock guitarist, which was
definitely not his forte,
Nah, too upper-class, too art school.
Hawkwind was where it was at, back then. They're a sad parody of themselves
these days, but the best band in the world once upon a time.

lyricist/vocalist of all time).
I have problems with lyrics. I like instrumental stuff, too.
Post by mimusAnd any MTV-style video of some longhair hunched over an acoustic and
strumming it and singing about his miserable little life
Kurt Cobain.
Post by mimusdue entirely to
less-than-full stock of his miserable little mind fills me with homicidal
thoughts (see Kurt Cobain).
See, I told you so.
Ian Curtis?
Post by mimusPost by Boris T. WaynePost by mimusStill,
Assemblage 23/ Contempt (2001)(Metropolis)/ "Sun", "Purgatory", "The
Drowning Season" (instrumental) and "Anthem" (22:14)
I quite like "Coward" and "Bi-Polar" and was wondering if they were
aimed at himself.
Post by mimusAssemblage 23/ Storm (2004)(Metropolis)/ "Ground", "Let the Wind Erase
Me", "Skin" and "Infinite" (21:54)
Still in the queue, that one.
Not any more.
I see what you mean about the lack of definition.
Post by mimusPost by Boris T. WaynePost by mimusand
Assemblage 23/ Meta (2007)(Metropolis)/ "Truth", "Raw", "Madman's
Dream", "Ghosts" and "Crush" (27:56)
Yeah, listened to this one out-of-order, since I'd already heard the
single. "Sorry" does it for me, too. Most excellent, a definite 9/10.
No mention of Defiance? "Document" is the track that pulled me by the
ear into this mess. "Blindhammer" is interesting, and I like "Drive",
although the sentiments expressed are somewhat offensive to my green
credentials.
Post by mimusare better than simply worth a listen-- very much so in the last two
cases-- and he (Tom Shear, who used to be a "poo-flinging Usenet monkey"
on rmi) is plainly still learning and growing and exploring as a composer.
Indeed, he's come a long way since the pale imitations of Depeche Mode.
I think that's who the swinging, soaring, sweet choruses on _Storm_
reminded me of, although I could only characterize 'em to myself as
" '80s-style" (never was a DM fan) . . . .
Me neither, although the Dave Gahan solo stuff is mildly interesting.
Definitely preferred Meta.
Now on 663 of 668, Zombie Girl - Blood, Brains & Rock 'n' Roll, "Go

Most of this is old stuff, classics, probably familiar to you.
And I'm missing my Android Lust blocks (four releases); F242's
_Pulse_ (never have been able to settle on a block from it-- too
much music, I think!); Frontline Assembly's _Tactical Neural Implant_ and
_Hard Wired_; Laether Strip's _Underneath the Laughter_; and three
Informatik releases.
Still, the above would make for a stimulating evening's listening, would
it not?

rmi is not dead but only sleep--
Well, no, really, it seems to be dead.
All those drugs and all that noise really takes out of ya, huh?
