In better news Project Pitchfork is working on a new album that'll be released at the end of summer and will be titled Quantum Mechanics. Also another Santa Hates You album for us Spilles-obsessed bastards. Goddamn, if Quantum Mechanics turns out to be anywhere close as good as Continuum Ride I'll probably just poo poo my loving pants. Continuum Ride was gooooooooood.

Just ordered a used copy of OOMPH!'s Ich bin du single for like 12 euros in good condition. Then I will have EVREYTHING by that drat band  Well, kind of. I'm not gonna touch the compilations unless I get them for dirt cheap (like max two euros a piece or something), they don't have anything I don't already have anyway. No I'm not a fan at all

The Cleaner posted:No, I totally agree. I never "got" them. I do respect them as industrial pioneers and all that.. but to be honest when I recently heard Life Is Life for the first time I thought it was a joke along the lines of Zlad.. To be quite honest, I also thought Opus Dei and Leben heisst Leben were some kind of jokes when I first heard them (and they are, in a very Laibachian way!). Those were also the first songs I ever heard from the band. It wasn't until I heard Tanz mit Laibach and the rest of WAT that I really got into them, and it still wasn't until extensive listening and reading that I really understood what was going on and really started digging the poo poo out of them. But yeah, Laibach is a very loving difficult band to "get" and I can definitely see where you're coming from. It's kind of unique, actually, I mean, how many bands do you know that new listeners really should read about before listening? Laibach is just so much more than a band that it's kind of a waste to just listen to them. Also if you ever happen to meet me in real life don't ever mention Laibach or I will talk about them for three hours straight, whether you like it or not. I've done it before and will do it again. e: it's 6 AM and I can't think/write a cyborg mug fucked around with this message at 04:22 on Jul 24, 2011 |

So I realized my CD shelves are dangerously close to full and I'm still buying a fuckton of records all the drat time. I also realized that at this rate I'm gonna need another CD shelf (currently have two, which hold about 500 CDs together), and since I'll most likely be moving sometime in autumn and really don't want more stuff in my life, I figured I'd try selling at least some of the stuff I don't necessarily personally like that much or listen to anymore. I thought it'd be a good idea to put some of my industrial/other scene-applicable stuff up here first before I throw them at an auction site: And One - Tanzomat (Ltd. Ed. digipak with live CD) 7 € And One - Traumfrau (single, jewelcase) 2 € Battle Scream - Suffering vs. Salvation (digipak) 5 € Black Heaven - Negativ (digipak) 5 € Black Light Discipline - Empire 5 € (jewelcase) (these guys are apparently a favorite of the Turmion Kätilöt guys, seeing as they're on TK's own label and have opened for them plenty of times!) Container 90 - World ChampionShit 5 € (digipak) God Module - Let's Go Dark 5 € (digipak) Helium Vola - Für euch, die ihr liebt 5 € (2CD digipak) Melotron - Fortschritt 5 € (jewelcase) Rabia Sorda - Radio Paranoia (Ltd. Ed. single, copy #50 / 1000) Yendri - Dreams of an Undead Girl (digipak) I can't stand Wolfsheim so I'll throw one of these digipak singles in for free if you buy something else and are interested in them. Wolfsheim - Künstliche Welten Wolfshiem - A New Starsystem Has Been Explored The following synthpop CDs are all part of the A Different Drum VIP Series and are all limited to 300 copies worldwide: Christopher Anton - Destination: X 3 € (digifile) e-gens - fine! shine! vip edition 3 € (digifile) Disreflect - Some Brittle Words 3 € (digifile) Haberdashery - 2010 Remixes 2 € (cardboard sleeve) Saudade - Restricted 2 € (cardboard sleeve) Next up: :wumpscut: stuff Dried Blood of Gomorrha (BKM Etah 59, digipak) Bone Peeler (BKM Etah 57 3rd Anniversary Ed., digipak) Evoke (BKM Etah 34, 2CD digipak) Cannibal Anthem Box (includes everything listed here. T-shirt size XL) 15 € Body Census Box (includes everything listed here apart from XL sticker. T-shirt size XL) 15 € Schädlingsbox (includes everything listed here apart from the polo shirt, no idea where that's gone) 10 € If you're only interested in the CDs in the boxes we can talk about it, but I'd really rather sell all of it in one go. Everything here is pretty much in "like new" to "very good" condition. The :W:-shirts have been word probably like three or four times maybe three years ago and have since been washed and left to wait in the wardrobe.

Pope Guilty posted:How is Für euch, die ihr liebt? I loved Helium Vola but Liod left me cold. Gonna have to admit that I really can't compare the album to Helium Vola's other ones at all, I jumped into it completely cold. I'm not even sure why I have it in the first place, actually, I guess I was looking for something similar to Qntal some years back and found the album. In any case I never got much out of it personally (just didn't click with me at all) and I haven't listened to it much more than like five or so times, but most reactions online seem to be extremely positive. The first CD has more traditional medieval tracks while the second CD has darker, faster, more electronic and heavier songs.

Anyway, my pleasure I'm always happy to help if someone is cool enough to want to make their momma happy. In the immortal words of Mr. T: "Treat your mother right!"quote:(also those tiny licorices you sent me are amazing. I love them half the time and then the other half they basically taste like a death threat.) Haha, glad you found them interesting. Salmiakki / salted liquorice is super fuckin popular here in Finland and the rest of the northern Europe, but isn't that well known in the 'States as far as I know. Just wanted to give a fella a new experience now that there was a chance! Also you're kind of right about the death threat. Ammonium chloride, which is used to give the liquorice the salty taste is extremely poisonous when consumed (you'd have to eat an impossible amount of this stuff to get poisoned though) Allllso goddamn you bastards were right about Tactical Neural Implant. Finally got my copy today, been Audiosurfing through it. Question: how the gently caress does one even go from releasing an album like Caustic Grip, which is alright I guess, to releasing something like TNI? What happened between these two records? And why do you release something like Millennium afterwards? I mean I'm all for developing your sound and experimenting which is obviously part of what happened between these albums, but just the overall quality of the material is astoundingly different.

Yeah, answered you on Facebook! In other news, got Project Pitchfork's Quantum Mechanics today. Having listened to it a couple of times now, I gotta say, this is definitely not as strong an album as Continuum Ride. There's definitely some amazing poo poo here, like The Queen of Time and Space and Splice, and the overall sound is fantastically skillfully done, but something's just missing here. Too much average material. It's a "very good" album, nothing more. I guess I just had my expectations waaayy too high after Continuum Ride, which is like my favorite PP album  The new Santa Hates You album, on the other hand, is totally unexpectedly loving awesome. I mean I liked Crucifix Powerbomb a lot and thought that that was a surprisingly good album, but goddrat. MAN. This is some tight rear end poo poo, I'm telling y'all, I'd even go as far as to say that it's better than Quantum Mechanics.

Say what you will about WTF?! (personally I think it's easily the strongest KMFDM album since WWIII) but I really dig how they're playing nearly everything off it. Gives me a feeling that the band has confidence in their new material, whatever a certain part of their fanbase might say about it. I think I'm gonna have to start planning another trip to Stockholm this year, seeing as Finland isn't one of their stops on this tour

I just got a CD in the mail. Stopping Stations by Observe & Control, an Israeli EBM band. I've never heard of this band nor have I ordered anything like this. It was sent to me directly from the label Metoraf Records from Israel, so it wasn't even from any online record shop I use. I've also never heard of the label before. what the gently caress  I'm confused, even a tad scared right now. Where did they get my address? Is this some pro-Israel (let's not derail with this though) aggrotech poo poo? What's going on?

Just so that everyone remembers: FLA loving owns live. Leeb and the boys just seem to have so much fun on stage, it's great to watch. The setlist was somewhat altered from the now-age-old IED list, they started with loving GUN (yessssssSs), dropped some IED tracks for older ones (Gun, Vigilante) and changed the order. Good stuff. Conjure One was fun as well, just Fulber playing alone, though. Too bad we missed about ten minutes of his set due to confusion about the whereabouts of the club, thanks to Hedenius for the directions! Fulber later joined FLA on stage for Bio-Mechanic, the last encore song. I also grabbed Exilarch since it was only like 100 kronor (~11 €). One weird-rear end thing: the merch guy was the exact same dude from whom I've bought stuff at Laibach shows in Finland. I'm 100 percent sure about this, it's the same loving guy. He even had a Laibach shirt on and the cash register they had with them was Laibach's, with the NSK sticker on it. What is that guy's story? Does he just travel around with legendary industrial bands selling merch like it's no big deal or what? My cousin told me to ask him after the Conjure One set but then people flooded the stand and I didn't want to get in the way. If I ever see him again I'll have to ask. a cyborg mug fucked around with this message at 10:38 on Aug 28, 2011 |

Hellektro or however you want to call it is the brostep of the industrial scene. It locates and extracts the easiest, simplest and "coolest" parts out of a genre (ie. HUUUGE BEATS BRO and LYRICS ABOUT BLOOD AND SEX AND HOW THE SYSTEM SUXXXX!!1!!) and applies them liberally ad nauseam. I guess you can dance to it or something, but bands like Combichrist, Agonoize, Ext!ze etc. just have nothing to offer for me. They're just not ambitious or interesting enough artistically for me to get excited about them, I guess. e: Speaking of ~* art*~ the new Diary of Dreams album is pretty amazinga cyborg mug fucked around with this message at 10:23 on Oct 5, 2011 |
