I have to plug FGFC820. These guys are pretty drat rad. YOU DON'T loving BELIEVE ME!?

FGFC820 - Society

One of my favorite bands around.

Most of what I like for easy listening is power noise like Terrorfakt or dark ambient stuff like Lustmord -- I found this very CD, in fact, at a thrift store, which was a huge surprise.

Hip-hop and industrial share a lot of DNA. They're also the only two genres of music that I listen to, so this poo poo is right up my alley.

I think a less jokey approach to it could yield some excellent results, though I appreciate what you were going for here and find it fun.

There was Operation Beatbox which was all hip hop covers by industrial bands. Some good stuff, some ehhh.
Not much on youtube, which surprises me. Colla Destra's Wicked is pretty good, and the Society Burning track was decent, iirc. Gonna have to get it out of storage.

Got Civilization by FLA in the post today and listened to it on the way to work.

Welp. You win, Leeb. That must've been one of the best albums I've ever heard, at least on the first listen. Holy poo poo, I can't wait to get back home to listen to this motherfucker again.

That's got Vanished on it, right? I think that's when the melding of all of the FLA side projects really coalesced into something polished and nuanced (mature, maybe?). I'll have to dig the disc back up.

Yesterday I got an email from the shop where I ordered TNI from and they told me it's long out of print So that's why it's not available anywhere. I was wondering why such an important album was so difficult to track down.

I've had good luck with Amazon's used sellers for stuff like this (and they do have many copies of TNI for you if you don't mind going with them) and came up with this completely insane book.

Got the Bob Dylan project CD today in a very official-looking envelope! It's in a pretty neat DVD case with a thick as gently caress booklet all in Slovene. Really seems like they've put some effort and resources in this thing, real nice.

e: haven't gotten around to listening to it yet, though.

You're pretty lucky! I emailed them and got a reply that they're not sending any more out.

edit: fuggit. Look, my family is from Slovenia and my mom is a wicked huge Dylan fan since day one. He was the first concert she went to and she'll still go to his insanely expensive concerts and buy up his merch, no questions asked. If anybody gets a copy and wouldn't mind selling it to me, please PM me.

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!

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 go from releasing an album like Caustic Grip, which is alright I guess, to releasing something like TNI?

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.

FLA was my second or third ever show as a kid! I saw them when I was sixteen and my dad drove me to the show :3:

I remember their loving NUTS live show, multimedia displays on huge screens. Glad to hear they're still putting on great shows.

poo poo, now that I think about it, Front 242 was my first concert and Skinny Puppy was third -- that was, I think, just before Too Dark Park came out and there were ludicrous props and cages with monsters and bizarre poo poo everywhere.

See, I was going to toss TG into the ring as well but I figured those early records would be more aligned with "pioneer of the genre" rather than a classic album in an pre-defined flavor of music.

Ah, and I was going to mentin Einsturzende Neubauten and Strategies Against Architecture. Also Mind: the Perpetual Intercourse is still on my playlist, decades ( :smith:

guys, help me out. I saw a video a while ago and can't remember the artist or name of the song and it's bugging me to find it now. the song was instrumental. if I remember right, it was a pretty experimental/noisey track. raw sounding with a lot of synth drums and stuff. the video was all 3d spikey geometric shapes that changed with the music. it wasn't too old. if I had to guess, within the last decade or so. that's all I got!

edit: I also get the feeling that the group name was some one word weird name along the lines of wumpscut or haujobb or the like.

Something like this?

242 used this and similar motifs starting back in '93 -- they carried it out to live albums and videos, too. I think either Animal or Happiness had something really close to what you're describing.
