Dang, I'd go see Sisters but no dates in the free state of Florida. Edit - Went back to read a few pages back in the thread and realized I forgot Ashbury Heights was a band so I've been bobbing my head to that all morning. He even has new songs that are ok.

Philthy posted:Sisters tix in Chicago came to $78/ea after all the fees for me. I don't think they're going to keep going as Puppy but hopefully it pushes though to continue doing projects. Key will probably do his electronica projects forever. I saw a blurb on social media where he's opening for IAMX. I just wonder if Ogre continues with Mark Walk project/band or not. Based on the Puppy group on Facebook it seems that a TON of die hard fans haven't been to a show since the Too Dark Park tour. LOTS of outrage over ticket prices.

Admittedly this is completely speculation on my part, but my guess is Ogre felt pretty burned out on the music industry after all the bad stuff that happened around the recording of Tricks. Maybe I'm wrong though, he's definitely been through worse.

"Die hard fans who don't like anything past the early to mid 90s" pretty much describes most of the people in every band/subgenre industrial page I've I've tried on FB, or r/industrialmusic tbh. I'm sad I've only seen SP once but they don't come over to the UK often, and I'm glad I got that one time at least. It does sound like the ticket prices are pretty crazy though, which sucks.

I like some modern stuff but I can't really deny peak industrial is 1985-1995 or so, for me. It's not realy nostalgia either because I only started listening to the genre at the tail end of that period.

I mean full disclosure, Last Rights is the most "recent" SP album I listen to on the reg, just funny how averse to anything modern a lot of the FB communities and reddit are. I guess maybe people into newer stuff use Discord or w/e.

Sorry, but when modern industrial/ebm/darkwave bands draw inspiration from Skinny Puppy they're not ripping off Pro-test, and there's a reason for that.

On a related tangent, I think literally band I've heard imitating Skinny Puppy or taking from their sound over the years always goes for the Mind: TPI sound. I don't think I've ever heard anything that sounded even remotely close to Last Rites, but I've heard that Deep Down Trauma hounds synth part in a hundred songs. It always bums me out because my favorite thing from that era are the super punchy bass drums with the FM synth slap bass under them and no one ever rips that part off.

You might like Dead When I Found Her. Check out the song Shining Path. Or maybe this is exactly what you're saying, I just woke up.

This thread had me going back through my old Skinny Puppy collection and I remembered this old German bootleg I had from an 80's Skinny Puppy show. It sounds like it was a soundboard recording someone ripped and the whole thing seems sped up slightly, probably to fit on a tape, so it is almost has a nightcore feel to it. The whole thing is a really good listen, and I love the version of Smothered Hope off it. I found someone put it up on youtube and it is at 14:30. I can't even remember where the hell I picked a copy up at, but it had a jewel case and CD booklet and everything. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMxfjXKnZqw&t=870s

Anyone seen him live?

Apparently only one song was "reused" which was Solvent because they felt it should have been better. The rest of the songs they tossed out all the new equipment and tried making everything like they did back in the 80s, with 80s equipment. It sounds like they were successful but it got frustrating and pushed that aside and just tried to replicate it on modern equipment for the rest of the album. I think they succeeded, because I honestly thought most of this was older sounding demos they fleshed out into full songs. It reminded me of Back n Forth Series 2, more than say Bites/Remissions/Mind

Whether some or all of the music actually comes from that keyboard is unprovable. But it sounded good and Tom Shear sounds good when he sings live, so it’s worth seeing if you’re a fan. (I fell off when Endure released, nothing wrong with the music, it’s just not my taste anymore.)

I haven't listened to A23 in a bit, just figured tickets would be cheap relative to other things these days and something to do ya know. Thanks for the insight, it's sounds like it's exactly like I imagined it would be.

I haven’t seen em live but I know Assemblage 23’s setup includes or has included a live drummer, possibly depending on what part of the world they’d be performing

No live drummer when I saw them. This would’ve been sometime around 2010-2012, though.

I appreciate that they tried to go back and capture their original sound with Weapon, but I really hate how clean and thin their sound was from The Greater Wrong of the Right onwards as they were using more modern recording techniques. I remember reading an old interview with cEvin a long time ago where he was talking about his recording process for Download, and he mentioned that he would make the synth lines on his computer, and then route them out of his computer and spend a lot of time running it through other stuff and manipulating it to make it sound like it didn't just come out of a computer. I think Effector is still one of the most organic sounding electronic albums I have ever hear. And I don't even dislike The Greater Wrong of the Right, but it was such a kick in the balls getting an album that sounded like that after they teased us with new Skinny Puppy with this a couple years earlier: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPpzanfHEKk

There's a new Delerium album, Signs, out in April! Yes, they do things other than another thousand remixes of "Silence." Industrialists get into the bleepy version of world music. Sure do miss Single Gun Theory. Signs is an extremely pleasant listen. edit: ok, the pieces are not super-long. The timestamps on the album preview site are all wrong. The actual tracks are all four or five minutes. divabot fucked around with this message at 00:07 on Feb 25, 2023 |

Semantic Spaces was my jam. Before "Silence" there was "Incantation" and it always annihilated the dance floor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFR19X6GSVg

I’ll also note that before Semantic Spaces, Delerium was a totally different project. No vocals, just occasionally samples. Hard to pin a genre on it beyond “ambient” but the early stuff was sorta “dungeon music” and it turned into spacey stuff on the Spheres albums. Highlights of the pre-pop days are probably Spheres II and Spiritual Archives, although your mileage may vary.

Another Massenhysterie album came out in 2019, to almost no notice? It's called Hausfrauengelüste ("housewife desires") and it continues in the authentic minimal “we just bought our first MS-20” style with a purple-haired Austrian woman shouting perversion at you over the top. It's more fun than deep, but it's pretty good and I've played it more than once.
