I've always liked The Tear Garden but The Secret Experiment and Have A Nice Trip never did that much for me. They felt a bit too much like jam sessions and I like it more when they are more song focused. And I'm happy to report that their new album, The Brown Acid Caveat, is amazing. Especially Strange Land feels like vintage Tear Garden. Good stuff.

david_a posted:Oooo! Vintage as in Last Man to Fly? That's probably one of my all-time favorite albums. Strange Land specifically feels more like something that could have been on Crystal Mass but there are tracks that would not have been out of place on Last Man to Fly. It's up on Spotify so give it a listen.

chime_on posted:What time has PIG been taking the stage on this tour? Two opening bands. Julien K and Ghostfeeder. I missed both and walked in just when PIG took the stage. Cut it a bit close. PIG was great. Actually better than the run last year. Much less from The Gospel. I love that record, but we got the three songs from the new EP instead. I'll take it. Also they played this and it was totally killer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziSQZZ_X_Wo Projected in the background: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4DzP39C0C0 BrutalistMcDonalds fucked around with this message at 03:01 on Jul 25, 2017 |

teethgrinder posted:What bands are opening? Julien-K and Ghostfeeder, as per the whole tour, but my local show has a couple local openers as well: Roseclouds and Tescon Pol. BrutalistMcDonalds posted:Doors were at 7, show at 8 and PIG came on at 9. Crazy that two openers were on and off in 60 minutes...! I was kind of banking on PIG starting around 10. I'm taking an evening class right now, and the earliest I can make it to the venue would be like 9:50 if traffic is perfect. How long was PIG's set?

Pig started at around 10:30 in Tampa. And both Ghostfeeder and Julien-K put on some really good shows, I don't know why you'd want to miss them. Ray's definitely on top form as well, this show was much better than last year's, and that was already way better than I was expecting from him at this point in his career.

New Boy Harsher single! The video is okay (some cool, gritty, New York at night vibes, but it doesn't really go anywhere), but the song is pretty good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeSN4PntOos "Motion" is the first track on their new EP Country Girl, which comes out October 13. It looks like the they also have a few new tour dates in October and November.

Came across Ned's Atomic Dustbin performing an awesome set on the Jon Stewart Show in 1995. When I looked it up, apparently PWEI was on it too. Anyone ever come across a clip of that? Doesn't seem to be on YouTube sadly.

PIG show was pretty awesome, I have to say. I haven't been to any kind of industrial rock show in a long time, and they definitely brought it. I preferred the version of "Juke Joint Jezebel" they played to the KMFDM version-- it had a Sisters of Mercy vibe that I never really picked up on before. I got there in time to see maybe 20 minutes of Julien-K, who were... not good. Totally generic rock with synths, and a lot of embarrassing wanna-be Dave Gahan posing and preening from the singer. Pass on that.

I'm also not crazed about Ohgr's solo stuff. Welt was good. I dunno somebody convince me otherwise about the rest. Anyways yeah this recent PIG activity has turned me into a PIG cultist. I've never been to a show where so many people wore the band's gear at the show. Pig pig pig pig pig. PIG!!!

BrutalistMcDonalds posted:I'm also not crazed about Ohgr's solo stuff. Welt was good. I dunno somebody convince me otherwise about the rest. Sunnypsyop is great, even if you don't necessarily like the single "Majik." "JaKO" and "Watergate" are worth checking out, and if you don't like those, you probably won't like the rest of the album. I think Devils in My Details is the most Skinny Puppy album released since Last Rights, moreso than any of the post-2000 Skinny Puppy output. I love Devils In My Details a lot, and can only advise you to listen to track 1, then track 2 back-to-back ("Shhh" and "Eyecandy") and if that doesn't intrigue you enough to listen to the rest of the album, then I don't know what to tell you. Underdeveloped is poop. "Bellew" is interesting as an honest-to-god heartfelt Ohgr ballad. Other than that, the best song is "colidoskope" which is technically a "hidden track" but yeah, I hated this album. The opening songs are like bad arena rock.

The Seeming album is out and it's really good! it's probably not "industrial" as such, but it's definitely "post-industrial". Song-oriented indie pop rock with lots of attention to the sounds. Definitely compatible. There's a bonus EP which is the second CD in the physical edition. Seeming's #1 fan Phil Sandifer did a track by track, and here's a long podcast interview. And my writeup after Phil nagged me enough, with all the videos and a cute cat picture.

To me, DIMD was the only Ohgr album that kinda let me down a bit. They were always glossy over-produced cartoony sounding mixes, and Devils just kinda tried something I don't think worked. I dig the dark melodies and jam-like approach, but I remember someone complaining that it sounds like it was mixed in 30 minutes using iPod earbuds - I can't disagree. Obviously was done on purpose but I can't understand why, nor have Mark Walk and Ogre shed much light on the concept they were even going for. I liked Undeveloped more myself as it not only returned to form but had a Sunnypsyop feel at moments. I'll concede that the first couple songs sounded too stadium-athemy-y. The new Seeming is really great. Nothing I can say that hasn't already been written about by the reviewers/blogs. Just got new 3Teeth, NIN, Tear Garden. Upcoming Encephalon, Legend, Comaduster, iVadensphere... alot of good albums still to come this fall.

The new Seeming is a bonafide masterpiece, but I think it doesn't quite reach the level of Madness & Extinction. Still a hell of an album, but something is missing. Maybe I need to listen to it more, only had time to give it two full listen-throughs.A human heart posted:why is merzbow just hanging out there at the end of one song. that's silly It's actually good as gently caress

The only song that I noticed sounding like it's "badly" mixed is the opening track "Shhh," which I feel like had the highend cut off of it so that when "Eye Candy" starts it has a more dramatic effect/impact. I think it was a cool trick, but a bit of a gimmick, and I can understand someone hearing that song and going "ugh... this album is badly mixed!" But I don't think it actually extends to the whole album. I just feel like the whole album has that classic, grimey, chaotic Skinny Puppy feel to it, whereas the New Skinny Puppy is more of a digital glitchy thing, which I used to love. But sometime after Weapon came out I just turned cold on that whole sterile, glitch-heavy sound.

Not sure if it works or not, but I'm not really a Seeming fan.

The merz rules but i don't really see much point in just having him do a short blast of average noise at the end of a song. it's not even integrated with the rest of the music
