Couple 'o things:
1. I was told Isotope 217 and Laurent are
definitely off the bill. I do not know why. i
would like to know why jeff mills is not on the
lineup. i hope he just shows up somewhere.
2. The Orb was my real introduction to techno
music ('91's "the orb's adventure's beyond the
ultraworld") as far as taking it to another level
and the first time i heard it, i did not
understand why there was so much talking,
samples, spaceships, etc.., i cringe everytime i
read my cd review i wrote while working at my
college newspaper . . . but i digress.
I would cite Depeche Mode as my earliest
influence, only because it was the first band
that truly got me interested in electronic
sounds, textures, etc. in music. the mid-'80s
stuff is what i got into, though it was after the
fact.
And i went from being a pseudo-metalhead to
loving depeche mode. as one might expect, my
friends at the time didn't really understand. i
made new friends soon after...
but i also was into a lot of wax trax and related
stuff including 242, front line assembly,
ministry, meat beat manifesto (who i think is
sorely underrated), PTP, acid horse, revolting
cocks, even NIN.
hell, i always thought the KLF were pretty good
cheeky fun.
K-L-F!!! uh-huh, uh-huh.....
see ya'll this weekend.
dance til ya bleed with joy. i know i will.

Subject: [313] industrial vs. hip hop
a conversation that started between dave "the
wave" dresden
and i @ wmc this
year centered around how people got into the
scene, and i
started an
informal poll while i was down there. ratio?
about 60%
industrial, 40%
hip hop.
and one - neither. neither? his answer - heavy
metal.
hmmm....
but those 2 avenues do seem to be the way that
just about
everyone got into the scene.
any other neithers?
me? hey, i can goth dance with the best of
'em... the
"screwing in the
light bulb"... the "killing the cockroach"... and
of course
the "oh no the
sun".
