Re: [313] Postmodern / Futurismo
Re: Sorry but it's so far off 313 topic I'll keep this simple. Kraftwerk are one of the original industrial music groups (Metal on Metal.) Nine Inch Nails is a pop band. When I first heard NIN's "Head like a Hole" I thought he was a complete copycat of Jim Thirwell's "Scraping Feotus Off the Wheel" project, only much lighter. Let's talk Nihilist thought shall we?

Re: [313] Postmodern / Futurismo
It has also been reported that Mills was very influenced by seeing Belgian Industial band front 242 when they played detroit (particularly their paramilitary stage gear) Like so many other great insights i believe the source for this was 'Techno Rebels' By Dan Sicko which I can not reccomend engough (Dan definately used to be on the 313 but I'm not sure if he still is - anyone?) neil On Wed, 12 Jul 2000, rol leider wrote: > From: Elliot Taub <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > You're getting ahead of me. > Don't forget Jeff Mills got his start in an Industrial band (the name of > which escapes me at the moment... > > --> Final Cut > > And before we have this argument--again--I think the last few hundred times > we had it we concluded that techno draws its inspiration from multiple and > disparate sources; inluding disco, Euro pop, jazz, industrial, funk, et > cetera.

Re: [313] Postmodern / Futurismo
that came 60 years later (and Industrial begat Detroit Techno: thereby staying On Topic) Whoa now... lets not forget its "George Clinton meets Kraftwerk in an elevator" not "George Clinton meets Nine Inch Nails in an elevator" Ollie I'll keep this simple. Kraftwerk are one of the original industrial music groups (Metal on Metal.) Nine Inch Nails is a pop band. Thankya. Josh phase 10 Saturday nights, midnight to 3. WCBN-FM 88.3, Ann Arbor, MI

that came 60 years later (and Industrial begat Detroit Techno: thereby staying On Topic) Whoa now... lets not forget its "George Clinton meets Kraftwerk in an elevator" not "George Clinton meets Nine Inch Nails in an elevator" Ollie From: Elliot Taub <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: "313@hyperreal.org" <313@hyperreal.org> CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [313] Postmodern / Futurismo Date: Tue, 11 Jul 2000 13:15:43 -0700 I would say there could be no discussion of music and philosophy without mentioning the Futurists; probably the only school of philosophical thought that espoused a musical form. The Futurist Symphonies of cars honking, scraping steel and construction noise had an obvious impact on the "Industrial" music that came 60 years later (and Industrial begat Detroit Techno: thereby staying On Topic) But speaking of contemporary continental philosophers, I'd say Markus Pop probably does a more interesting and successful critique of Deluze's Nomadology in a musical form than (for instance) DJ Spooky ever did. I don't think Pop concerns himself with philosophical baggage in terms of making his music, though: I think his approach is more of a process-oriented one (which in an of itself is a Deluzean manner of creating things like "folds") but not one that's directly referencing any philosophy. Whatever. I want to press a button and hear a beat. e ps: every department has its own focus. The Architecture program I was a part of years ago worked within a feminist philosophical umbrella (though not everybody in the program subscribed to that viewpoint). It sounds odd until you think that a society that could come up with sayings like "a woman's place is in the home" must use sexuality as some kind of determining factor in architectural forms and identities.
