Danger - Octopus! posted:The just-released Neuroticfish album is good. Randolph & Mortimer and HEALTH as others have said. Sturm Cafe's album Zeitgeist is great. Riotmiloo's album Blackout is real great if you like kind intense rhythmic noise with vocals. Also there's Mortality by Choke Chain, and Concrete Playground by Monolith. Those are my best ofs for the year. I definitely need to at least check out Neuroticfish and Choke Chain, I forgot about new Laibach as well. Speaking of acts that released new albums this year, I forgot Angelspit is still active and noticed they were when I saw their Facebook page had been hacked and is now this and Call of Duty Mobile streams.

I have no idea what he's done since Amelia Arsenic left other than I really like her solo work and every time I see an Angelspit album announced it looks embarrassing to listen to. It would be hard for him to be more embarrassing than Sascha doing Lowtax level super fruit MLM things which feels extra sad given how big KMFDM was.

Ministry just dropped a Christmas song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bYd5SF-B0w "It's Always Christmas Time," as opposed to "Everyday is Halloween," I guess.  I listened to about two minutes.

I feel like I'm the only person who really enjoyed Filth Pig (except for the last two tracks, could do without that awful Bob Dylan cover especially). Dark Side of the Spoon was awful though and I haven't felt like listening to anything of theirs ever since.

Brick Windows is cool too I’ve read a review or something that said Spoon was the last time Ministry tried to do something different, so I’ve tried to reevaluate it a bit since I also hated it in 99. It’s not nearly as bad as I remembered it being, although still not exactly an album I listen to very often. Animosity (I’m not looking up the real title lol) and the Bush Trilogy have enough good stuff on them that I like them, but I draw the line after Coverup. I think that was the first time Al said the band was done and he should have kept his word. I think it was in here that somebody described Moral Hygiene as “fine” and I agree with that. For modern Ministry that’s pretty drat high praise though

Gabi Delgado died in 2020 and Robert Gorl released a new album under the band name Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft in 2021, Nur Noch Einer. I finally got around to writing a Wikipedia article for the album - I'd filled out the list of the other DAF albums in a big burst of editing around 2014. Here's the Spotify link. I like it, but it's definitely a bookend for people who already like DAF. Delgado's absence is painfully apparent. But I think Gorl hits the DAF sound just right for most of it. It's like decades of DAF on one record without being literally a best-of. I wouldn't object at all to future records like this, but I'd prefer they were under his own name and not as DAF. divabot fucked around with this message at 16:10 on Dec 24, 2023 |

I'll concede I'm a little too hard on those last two tracks, but I'm glad to see more folks sticking up for that album than in years past. I have, however, listened to Lead Into Gold since Paul Barker restarted it and I enjoyed that.

I met Paul Barker on the Skinny Puppy tour last spring and in a drunken stooper, I told him that I "held him responsible for everything great that came out of the Ministry camp". lol Or at least I believe that's what I said. I giggled and he said "thank you". I think.

Just playing old DAF records. Alles Ist Gut is still excellent! But what I'm wondering is: how the hell did this record become a massive hit in Germany? It was in the charts for most of a year. Does anyone know the story of why it took off so big?

Dark Side of the Spoon was awful though and I haven't felt like listening to anything of theirs ever since. Filth Pig is great. The Last Sucker was actually pretty decent for a gently caress it let's just go back and try and do the Stigmata sound again, but that's where I dipped out. It's definitely way better than Dark Side. I was at work last night and an Apoptygma Berserk song came on Spotify, so I went and tossed on 7 since I haven't heard it in probably a decade, and straight off the bat a new version of Love Never Dies (Part 1) comes on with the original Carmina Burana sample ripped out of the chorus and a legally distinct Walmart version of it put in it's place that is so bad I almost bust out laughing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rIpv-h85S4 I'm never getting rid of my MP3 collection because of poo poo like this. edit: Apparently the song was changed in 2003 and I didn't know because I am loving ancient. a_gelatinous_cube fucked around with this message at 06:19 on Jan 8, 2024 |

It's been always funny how the movie studio lawyers never went after musicians the way the song publishing rights' lawyers went after phrase sampling. Imagine how much more debt Velvet Acid Christ would be in.

Honestly I think the re-released version without the uncleared samples is better, but neither version is anywhere near as good as the next few releases imo. The ban probably hyped it up more than it really deserved.
