divabot posted:New thing out from FLA and Alex Reed: https://frontlineassembly.bandcamp.com/album/molotov-remix-feat-seeming I really like this project to add lyrics to Airmech. The new Black Asteroid album is out with lots of interesting guests including FLA, ACTORS, Louisahh, Blush Response and Ian Astbury who I'd love to see more crossover with. Bryan has such a distinctive sound I love seeing it brought out more and more with other artists. https://blackasteroid.bandcamp.com/album/infinite-darkness

I just saw Night Club live and it was an excellent show. I suppose you could call them cliched but they do what they do extremely well and their songwriting skills are top notch. Plenty of people have tried the formula but most of them end up like Alien Vampires instead.

Ministry playing With Sympathy and Twitch songs after +40 years sounds way better than I expected. Like others in this thread said before, I just expected the usual Ministry stuff from the last 20 years, but I'm pleasantly surprised to see Al singing with clean vocals, a violin and a cello player (!), and the band being just a bunch of goth dudes having fun. It definitely feels like the send-off Ministry deserves

It's not the first time he's done a With Sympathy song, he did Revenge for sure. This is the biggest production I've seen though. Even more awesome is the whole Twitch set too. That would have been great to see live, I would have went nuts. I'm not sure that crowd knows what a treat they got. Al even got the fake accent perfect after so long. He didn't play any in St. Pete

Just got back from seeing Orgy. Last time I saw Orgy, over a decade ago, they were terrible. I'm glad I gave them a second chance, because they put on a drat good show.

thotsky posted:Laibach kicked rear end like usual. Saw the show in Helsinki. Absolutely incredible, Laibach is peerless, especially in its old-school industrial mode, which this tour was almost entirely. My favorite band and maybe live act ever. Opus Dei tour was probably the #2 tour I’ve seen from them, #1 would be the astounding Also sprach Zarathustra show. Also holy poo poo that cover of Strange Fruit

Yeah, that was a powerful end to the show. One of the less ambigious statements from Laibach, like they did with The Whistleblowers. Laibach is my favorite band too. The Nietzsche tour/album is possibly my least favorite, although I remember the sceneography as being really good. I was happy to see some of the Revisited stuff again in the first half of the show, but now that I've seen all my favorite tracks live I am excited for some new poo poo!

My partner walked up behind me a few days ago while I was watching Solar Fake's newest video for "Not So Important" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Sk7JFhl4wo We took a moment to coo over the kitties and bunnies. Over coffee this morning: me: New Solar Fake album is out today! them: Oh, the kitties? me:  Oh? Yeah, those guys! them: Is the album all about kitties? me: Most of the songs are apparently about people doing things even though they know they shouldn't. It's called "Don't Push This Button" them: Haha, so it's about kitties! me: ...I think you're actually right... Anyway. Haven't listened yet, but the two singles from it are more of the same stuff I love. Hopefully you find the exchange charming.

I miss living close to Chicago. Tampa Bay isn't exactly a desert, but nothing compared to Chicago. It's definitely better here in the winter for musical acts - I can't blame anyone for not wanting to come here in the summer.

I flew to Chicago just to see PWEI. Filter was a surprise bonus at that Cold Waves, didn't expect to enjoy them so much live. I think that might also be where I discovered Bootblacks, but it was such an amazing line up.

Mythmaker and HanDover were pretty bad. I enjoyed Greater Wrong as it was a pretty good 'comeback' album and the tour was a lot of fun. I saw them twice on that tour. Weapon was good for it's 'back to roots' approach. I enjoy pretty much any OhGr album over those two. PinkoBastard posted:My downer take: all of those albums are terrible and don’t even sound like SP, they should have stopped after The Process and just done occasional victory lap tours I dunno, I'm not sure what SP is 'supposed' to sound like. Those two albums just didn't have good music. Weapon and Greater Wrong did.

It’s kinda like how Ministry has been putting out album after album that sound exactly like Ministry… except they just don’t. Kinda hard to explain.

I’m kinda indifferent to all of Mark Walk’s stuff (Ruby was kinda meh to me, never was into Ohgr) so I never had any enthusiasm listening to post-Process Puppy. I also like the trippy weird stuff cEvin Key does and none of that seems to be into the Puppy I’ve heard with Walk (at least of that which I’ve heard), but to be fair back in the Puppy glory days, there were all sorts of substances going into the making of that music as well that, for good reason, were not used subsequently.

PinkoBastard posted:My downer take: all of those albums are terrible and don’t even sound like SP, they should have stopped after The Process and just done occasional victory lap tours I’ve come around to this view over the past ten years. I don’t like the high-gloss, digital, glitchy sounds of the new era albums as much as the slimy, noisy, chaotic sound of the old era. It’s practically two different bands, and nuPuppy is a band I would’ve listened to throughout the 2000s before forgetting they existed by 2015. It took me 40 years on earth before I realized that sometimes you get one good album from a band and that’s it and no one does anything like it ever again. We are blessed to have everything from Remission to Last Rights from Skinny Puppy, and if that’s what you’re in the mood for, it’s all there to listen to. I think capitalism has brain poisoned us into, “I want this thing I have, but NEWER!” patterns of thinking, and it’s good to break out of that instead of going down hopeless rabbit holes of trying to recreate experiences that you’ve already had. You only get to discover Skinny Puppy once, and that’s okay.

My first Puppy album was Mind and it was one of the reasons (along with Front 242) that I started making this kind of music.

My opinion eventually ended up settling on the idea that 'Frozen Sky' was the closest they got to recapturing the old magic even though it's a cEvin Key track with guest vocals from Ogre. Why they never pursued that sound further is a mystery. As far as the fact that they never released an album after Weapon, I can't help but feel like part of was probably the pledgemusic debacle with OhGr (They were owed six figures), and maybe some behind the scenes bad blood when Ogre announced he was going to work with Rave again. Some people say Rave really really really doesn't like cEvin. TOOT BOOT fucked around with this message at 20:54 on Jun 1, 2024 |

You guys, I decided that my derivative bullshit wasn't controversial enough so I made an AI tool assisted Skinny Puppy cover album. So like, if you want to hear "Killing Game" in the style of Cat Stevens or "Dig It" in the style of a 1950s doo-wop group, then look no further https://bixlee.bandcamp.com/album/rot-and-assimilate-a-skinny-puppy-sing-along
