 I'll point out that the popular songs by the mentioned artists were
largely played in English versions, although the German ones were played a
_few_ times. I never heard the German version of Der Kommisar until about
5 years after it was popular.

Major mistake here: Terra Vox is a LABEL, not a BAND.

What you have is a compilation of several groups from Quebec:
Maschinenhaus, Insurgent, Neant, Necrophilia, emiS sPHERE,
Audio Sculpture Exp.,EMRYS,Strategic Shadows,Emission 01, Phycus,
Sulphur,Ze Zinjanthropes Brachycephales FT'NG, The C.O.M. and
TVX.

At the moment PHYCUS has a new cassette out on Terra Vox called
"Effluviator" and is currently in the studio recording a CD.
Insurgent (whose song on this compilation is the best industrial/
noise/thrash that I've heard in a while) is in a studio too and they
should have a CD out in a couple of months.

The confusion may have arised from the fact that "Hizbollah" is a CD only

They're half of Throbbing Gristle. When that group broke up in 1981, it split
into two separate camps. Cosey Fanni Tutti and Chris Carter went off in one
direction, and Genesis P-Orridge and Sleazy Christopherson went in the other.
Chris and Cosey were the half that tended to do the dancier stuff, and 
continued to do so thru several really wonderful solo albums. Gen and Sleazy
were the half that, uh...well, _Sleazy_ went on to join up with John Balance
in Coil, and Gen, well...errr...hmmm...[ponders how to describe just what 
the _hell_ Genesis P-Orridge was/is up to]...Gen went on to do a variety
of interesting things, ranging from OTO-inspired dirge noise, to cover
versions of Beach Boys tunes [no, not a very adequate explanation...left out
the parts about self-indulgent behavior, self-mutilation, and police raids,
not to mention pretending he's a dozen or so different acts on rave
"compilations" that are really just Psychic TV albums, and so on, and so on,
kinda like a twisted version of the Eveready Bunny <tm> (r) on DMT].

Distribution: rec
Date: 27 Jan 93 09:17:23


There's an excellent CD out called _Symptom of a Specific
Culture_ by Terra Vox, a group from Quebec.  They've got a  
wide range of different styles... some cuts are of the
Skinny Puppy school of industrial dance, others are more
like industrial ambient, and there are a few random forays 
in territory like metal or jazz... 

Here's a quick cut by cut recap... 

1. Maschinehaus: really interesting industrial dance "Make
no move until you are ordered!"

2. Insurgent (No time tresspasing): Major distorted vocals,
sometimes sounding like industrial dance, sometimes like
metal.  "No time... Genocide!"

3. Neant (population psychasthenique): Rapid throbbing
machine noise and babbling insane voices that gradually gets
more intense. 

4. Necrophilia (Agonie reelie): A screaming angry piece that
gets increasingly noisy. 

5. emiS sPHERE DeNse KUlptuR: Rapid varying drum licks, with
gutteral vocals, an a repeated etheral vocal sample that
provides some structure. 

6. Audio Sculpture Experiment: Starts sounding like
windchimes, but it picks up and turns into a fast repetetice
melody.  Almost no bass on this one. 

7. EMRYs Arcane: Ominous ambient piece slowly takes on
structure, and a driving pulse emerges.

8. Strategik Shadows (Nobody Talks): Throbbing bass, lyrics
along the lines of: "Nobody sings... Nobody cries, Nobody
cries, eyes seem to be dry..."

9. Emission 01 (Deep Throat): Very Skinny Puppyish.  On the
slower side of industrial dance, with some melancoly string sounds.

10. Phycus Faktory America: A kind of Indian sounding melody
at the beginning in the end, but in the middle it's more
"conventional" industrial: thundering percussion, screaming
lyrics. "Wasted! It's all..."

11. Suplphur (Focus): A mass of throbbing machine noise,
vocal samples like "there's nothing to worry about," rapid
shifts to different kinds of noises. 

12. Ze Zinjanthropes Brachycephales (FT' NG! cocoa l'ecole):
An angular sound, like experimental jazz. 

13. The C.O.M. ???:  Bizzarre Laughter, a slow (dancable?)
beat, some gunge guitar... then it speeds up. 

14. TVX Guilty by Abstinence:  Rain noises, male groans then
an irregular beat sets in.  Wind noises.  A hard-edged
"ambient".

Another gem of information gleaned from the swamp of drivel that is the
NME...

This one might interest fans of what, depending on your point of view, is
either industrial or "that namby-pamby, not industrial at all, death-disco,
heavy-metal commercialised crap that all the teenies spend so much time
talking about in this group while they should be discussing *my* favourite
groups instead". Apparently East West are releasing a new comp next week
(in Europe at least - dunno about the US situation) called _Hot Wired
Monstertrux_ (ghastly title) "featuring tracks by Nine Inch Nails,
Consolidated, Ministry, Meat Beat Manifesto, Young Gods, Front 242 and
more". I find the fact that a major label are putting out a compilation of
<insert your favourite name for a genre that would encompass all the groups
listed above here> music (presumably with attendant Big Advertising) rather
interesting.
