I forget if I posted this last year but a friend of mine covers a song every time I do a road trip as part of a long running series of bad music mix tapes we put together for these. Last year I asked if he would cover Simply Having a Wonderful Christmastime in the style of C-Tec's Gesellschaft. I told him to listen to Mindphaser and Welcome to Paradise for some inspiration for samples too.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBp0012A3Pw

The result was one of the wildest things I've ever heard, especially for how much work he put into figuring out just how to duplicate the guitar sounds on that album. Especially because he doesn't make music like thishttps://venter.bandcamp.com/music

If you really like the hosed up guitars on Cut you might like this!

I miss the era of labels putting out terrible tribute albums as cash grabs, you'd get such weird stuff. I genuinely love FLA and Tiffany covering U2's New Year's Day.

I might have to listen to the Bella Morte cover of Soma though.

Oh boy, lovely cover albums! This is how I spent the 2000s. Here's one of the less awful but still odd ones I have.



Notable for Hate Dept's chuggy cocksman version of You Spin Me Right Round. Countered by New Mind's (who?) asymptotic, barely listenable version of Waterfalls that has what I can only generously describe as "hosed up drum programming". Also contains a completely unneeded cover of Devil Went Down to Georgia by Vault 9.

e: these have to be some of the oldest MP3s in my collection, they have ID3V1 tags :psyduck:

I remember there being a bunch of “Industrial tribute to” compilations back in the 90s. Looking it up now I was right but it continued well into the 00s. Very rarely did anything worth listening to manage to find its way onto one of those.

I get the idea though. Take a mainstream band and let whatever industrial artist you’ve got on your label who wasn’t busy that weekend record some lovely cover. You get even a tiny fraction of Metallica fans to by buy “The Blackest Album - An Industrial Tribute To Metallica” and you’ll make a bit of money. I was thinking that Cleopatra Records released most of that crap and I was right. The Blackest Album must have done well because they did three more of those.

Two very surprising things:

1. Cleopatra Records still exist. I did about 30 seconds of research but it seems to still be basically the same company. If that’s actually the case I hope they’ll stay around and continue misspelling everything for years to come.

2. In 2003 Cleopatra Records released “An Industrial Tribute to Ministry”. I’m not sure if that makes a lot of sense or no sense at all.

I still have the Wumpscut double album with only remixes of Totmacher. Can’t remember if there were any good ones. Which probably is a sign that there weren’t any.

I had to double-check if it was Cleopatra (it was sadly not), but there’s another Ministry tribute double-album with an obnoxious title that features... (wait for it) a cover of Lay Lady Lay.
:discourse:

Edit: Ah that album is itself a compilation of two other tribute albums which is why the title didn’t ring a bell. The original (“original”) album was Wish You Were Queer. This has got to be Peak Industrial Tribute Album

Well this is certainly a weird rabbit hole of tribute albums. And those albums are all on Martin Atkins' (Pigface/PIL) label.

Like, who even is the market for all this stuff? Especially the Cleopatra ones, are people so desperate for half arsed covers of bands they like by three bands they've heard of and a bunch of artists that only turn up on those kind of comps?

I kinda doubt this was demand-driven. It was novel at one point and probably super cheap to create these albums. I’ve heard that Atkins is quite, uh, “frugal” so if there was any chance of making a profit off this stuff, well...

This is a donation drive album:
https://rivetingmusic4u.bandcamp.com/album/tear-down-the-walls

quote:

27 bands joined forces to pay tribute to Pink Floyd’s rock opera, The Wall, and raise money for Doctors Without Borders. The benefit compilation pays homage to the original album while giving it a modern feel and the rougher edge only industrial bands can successfully deliver. Several legends of the industrial music genre lent their talents to this project, but it also includes the up and coming bands of industrial music.

I think my favorite silly compilation tribute album was Operation Beatbox which was the standard mid 90's b-list lineup (your 16Volts, Clay People, and Numb(!) covering classic hip-hop tracks. They don't dive too far into hip hop artists, so it's mostly Public Enemy and some Beastie Boys but still, it's a thing. Also, you could probably write a lazy thesis on the connection to hip-hop and "electro-industrial." This was Re-Constriction, not Cleo so it has that going for it.

Full album not easily searchable on youtube, so here's a twofer.

Numb covering Salt n' Pepa's "Push It" ... yeah, it's not the best thing and almost borders camp with the angry
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NgAWzhGrd8

Battery covering Coolio's "Gangsta's Paradise" ... I actually like this version as Battery at least adapted the song to their style.

I love watching interviews with Chris Carter, because he's just like some quiet, friendly guy who maybe you'd expect to be a teacher or perhaps have a youtube channel where he talks at length about some niche topic (trains, obscure brands of VHS player, idk) and it's just so at odds with what TG were and what you might expect.

haha, I love that idea. Like you'd sit down with him to really get into the band and he'd smile at you and say, "now, do you know the difference between different model train gauges? it's quite interesting". And you'd fall into a k-hole of which brand shoes have the best shoeboxes to make train tunnels, or how sponges are good for making tiny trees for a diorama.

Rhys Fulber was on We Have a Technical today. Good interview, his solo stuff is really interesting and hearing him talk gear and his work ethic and relationships with Bill and others was interesting.

But man the two songs I've heard off Mechanical Soul really suck. I actually loved Wake Up The Coma and like Rhys' solo stuff but Bill needs to be sprayed with a spritz bottle every time he tries to rhyme.

Listened to the album and I think I know at least one of the songs you mean; the verses were very, very pronounced classic Leeb-isms.

First impressions are that it's not nearly as fun as Wake Up The Coma - much slower and nothing stands out that much. I'll give them some leeway for the pandemic and Jeremy Inkel dying. Not sure what's up with Barbarians - it's a reworking of Future Fail from Artificial Soldier with the drum samples from Prophecy off Implode. I can't think of anything they've done like that in the past that wasn't explicitly labeled a remix. If you were expecting Dino's contributing to resemble something like a Fear Factory version of Uncle Al's Stupidity from IED you'll be disappointed, all I heard were some somewhat generic chugging on one track.

Maybe I'll change my mind on further listens when I'm not busy with something else and half paying attention but it didn't really excite me.

Not a big fan of the direction FLA took after Implode. I guess there's some worthwhile tracks on Civilization, but most of the stuff done in the last 20 years just sounds like video game soundtracks to me me; I much prefer the cyberpunk aesthetic from the 90's stuff.
