Wierd. Who sets upWierd. Who sets up a 9600 baud modem with NO error correction on? I'm getting
 creative line noise from hell. If this post comes in h"aQ_~E~quarters, then
you know what happened.
 (Why is it sending ^Zs! its making this hard!)
 
Quickly then... as for Severed Heads going in a "new" direction... eek. I t
doesn't sound too new to me. I'd respect the bands who did that kind of
music early on, but its so used by now its just boring. Granted the
stuff on Rotund is slightly ok as far as fluff goes, but compared to
zen the type of music that
Rotund is was used and already done by others. Yes, there is some slight
originality in the stuff, like wierd samples that other mainer-stream bands
who did Rotund-like material would never be brave enough to use, but that
doesn't make the whole thing a msterpiece.
 
Its the same as Cabaret Voltaire, more or less. They want to "move in
a new direction", but its a new direction to them, and no one else.
Acid house and the like has been around for a while, then the Cabs started
making it. Big deal. I dont see what's so great about it. Sure they're
actually one of the first bands to do Bleep-Acid-House, but its boring cause
its so used by others before them. They stepped into a well established
scene and can add nothing new to it. Same with Severed Heads. And even if
both bands stepped into the cracks between established scenes, that does
not a totally new scene make.
 
And Tom was particularly rude to me, cause a few people he knew personally
were at the show, so he didn't want to talk to me and just run backstage with
his friends and was rude as hell to (H-/zanyone he hadnt doeg{Wn mail with.

Should you buy it? If you are a 242 fan, definitely yes. If you are not, it

No, but you do get Puppy tours, you get coverage of the bands in the music
press, you get FLA, 242, clubs that play the music, discs for half the price!

Yes, Skinny Puppy grace these shores for the first time in five years on
September 25th.  It is a triple bill again, they're playing with Godflesh
(yay!) and Die Warzau (ugh).  Perhaps they'll even be shown some interest
by the Melody Maker (who irregularly mention them only to cite them as a
long-dead influence or bunch of past-it losers).  Time was when the Maker
_did_ pay attention to them, but that was before I was reading it or listening
to them (my own fault?  Probably, but you don't get it shoved down your
throat over here).

Apparently, in 1987 the Maker even put them on the cover and have since
mentioned that they `almost bankrupted' the paper somehow . . . d'y'know
why?

This is a country where people who are into Jourgensen's various drivel
haven't even heard _of_ Skinny Puppy.  The genre, which, for us UK fans with
the net, actually seems to have a community surrounding it, and a fan base,
doesn't exist at all for others here.  Jourgensen filters through because he's
`rock', same with Reznor.  My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult's recent
interviews are laden with comments suggesting the industrial scene died
absolutely over three years ago (which I would estimate is not quite the
case).  The press are just ignoring it at the moment;  the only thing that
gets unworthies like ClockDVA even noticed is that there are a few technology
geeks in the press ready to give them the chance to rant on stupidly about
what `they' are doing with computers these days . . .

When playing live, you can accomplish about the same thing using
a limiter, without getting the increased gain of a compressor, hence
avoiding the feedback problem.

Basically it's just not that hard to get the trendy aggro-vocals
using a simple fuzzbox or overdrive box.

Yeah But not much better..it is best to seek out those old Lenya

for why some of these pieces were written (esp. 7 deadly sins, and
Die Dreigrossenoper(my sic spelling). T-bone Burnett and Tom Waits

Check it out(this music really scares me sometimes)

What a coincidence.  I've liked this song since my high school days when
we drove around drinking beer and singing along.  I never bothered to look
into who wrote the darn thing.

Two nights ago I was watching (well, scanned by, actually) "Best of the Met."
There was a woman in an evening gown with an operatic voice singing a
very familiar song.  As soon as I began to follow along with the words I
recognized it.  "This is way wierd, I thinks to myself. The Met does the
Doors?"

Then I read the liner notes on my "The Doors" CD:

"Their first album includes......., German opera ("Whisky Bar" from Kurt
Weill and Bertolt Brecht's 1929 "Aufsteig Und Fall Der Stadt Mahagonny").

[The Rise and Fall of the City of Mahogany?]

Soooo. Their not "Door's" lyrics at all, but German opera.  And when I'm
drunk the words all make sense, except the ones I can't undestand like:

"Oh move a dum da dum dum,
we now must say goodbye."

It's a "drinking song." These folks have many reasons to keep finding the
next whisky bar and drinking the contents therein.

"We've lost our dear old mama" is one of them.

The song you refer to is called "Major Tom" and sung by an Austrian artist
named Peter Shilling. He sung it in German. It was a #1 in Germany in 1983
or 1984. The story was the same as in the Bowie song, but that's all the
two songs have in common.

Damned shame too . . . her best stuff is absolutely brilliant.  She'd
probably do fairly well with her new album in the US if they'd have the

Well, in *Britain* (and yes I do refer to the Netherlands as such and not
as Holland :-)) I think it's fair to say that Sandra is pretty much a
non-entity. Not even a minor star. Relatively unknown. 'Course, the UK
doesn't seem to count as Europe from a musical point of view - Europe-wide
hits frequently either do nothing in the UK or are hits here long after
they were a hit elsewhere (e.g. U-96's "Das Boot" hitting the charts here
months after it was a hit everywhere else in Europe).

I don't think she even managed that in the UK.

Reminds me of (but is obviously much different than) Brian Eno's notes
on using a 3 speaker system, connecting the positive leads from both left and 
right speakers to the third speaker, which is placed in the center behind
you in a triangle formation. The third speaker phase cancels out the common
soudns to both speakers in the stereo mix and gives you a channel that has
all the unique info from the left and right mix channels creating a new
sorta 3 dimensional mix. At least that's how I think it works. There's a
diagram on Ambient 4 or Discreet music.
