Ditto for me. I was a close-minded metalhead as a teenager until someone played me Skinny Puppy's Cleanse Fold & Manipulate. Changed everything, I loved dark, angry music at the time (teen angst and all) and industrial showed me that a synth, a sampler and a drum machine could be every bit as dark (and more so) as Slayer or any of their ilk.
Industrial gave me a bridge from metal over to harder techno and the harder techno stuff prepared me for the day someone played me Plastikman. :) john. > "headhunter" is another dancefloor killer. you cant go wrong with those > types of industrial tunes man. i guess not too many of you > guys were down with that, but thats the music that made me realise that > synths and drum machines were my friends. > > tom
