O.K..I saw Smog and Royal Trux at Lounge Ax in Chicago a couple of weeks ago
and was mildly impressed. Smog I hadn't heard before, but wished I had, since
I found myself appreciating them more with every song, and so probably didn't
fully absorb the first few songs. Royal Trux I enjoyed. Jennifer Trux put on
a subdued though somewhat intimidating performance, standing at the edge of the
stage, with about five layers of clothing on including a fur jacket in the
smokey, humid, 90+ atmosphere, only leaving her otherwise anchored position
to light up another one of the cigarettes neatly layed out atop one of the
speakers. It was great. I must also add my recommendations to the 2xLP
-Twin Infinitives- on Drag City.

While on the subject I can't resist another Drag City gem. My interest in
Drag City was initiated by their release of a New Zealand compilation of
Xpressway artists (X/way is a small , mainly cassette based enterprise in
Dunedin, NZ), a 7" with twelve songs (yes 12!!), in the true X/way tradition.
They will also release later in the year a CD of all the X/way produced
7"s, which will be titled 'Making losers happy', and is must to get you
forever hooked into the Kiwi music scene. If you can't wait, there is an
X/way compilation out called PILE=UP. Excellent, but I'm not sure if you
can get it in the U.S..It is worth any amount of trouble to get though. I
think also you can get it through Flying Nun (the larger NZ label), whose
address I can't recall offhand, but could post or mail it  if someone was
interested.

Mark.

Most of The Aphex Twin's stuff is pretty damn hard techno.  Even more of his
trancy stuff has a real hard edge to it.   BTW, he makes most or all of his
own equipment.  THat's why his style is so unique.  You'll also want to get
his DIGERIDOO 12" CD (cat #:RSUK 12 CD), great stuff.

As a matter of fact, there's a LOT of HARDCORE techno/acid out there that most
dance industrial fans would swear is industrial.  Don't dismiss techno too 
quickly!  There's a whole underground techno/acid scene out there that's got
some real quality edgy as hell electronic body music!

When most people talk about this kinda hardcore techno, they speak about the
hardcore Belgian trance and the lacerating acid coming out of the German inde
labels.  Dig for it.  You won't be dissappointed.

later.

     'Pretty decent' is an EXPREME understatement. This place rocks,
they have live bands there frequently (In the last year, when I have been 
to montreal, I remember Fair Warning and Corrosion of Conformity playing there.
     I think its refered to (at least by the English there) as 
'Foufoune Electrique' (or at least thats how I pronounce it).

     Another place I liked, (the name slips my mind right now) is a block up
from FouFoune's on the corner of Mount Royal and Ste Catherine,
(or maybe st lauraunt and ste catherines, its been a while...) you go
up about four flights of stairs, in bitch black, to an arch, were the 
bouncers run a metal detector over you (they also checked around my army
boots for knives). The inside of the place is completely black, except for
the bar which is flourescent green. There are peices of scrapped cars and
various other peices of discarded junk on the walls. This place is also great.

     There are usually posters splattered all around town whenever a good show is on, check the 'Mirror' (I think thats what it's called), its a quite
good entertainment magazine that has a 'Shows' section at the back for 
all the bands playing around town.

What is the name of the single??  They are a local band, so I've seen them a
couple times, but have never gotten their albums (it's cheaper and more
fun to see them live, one time the guitarist broke a couple strings, so the
drummer and bassist did a thrash version of Mary Has A Little Lamb, tons

Trust me, buddy, no-one has to tell *me* what Ministry albums to buy!
I've been a Minstry (and related projects) fan since about 1985.  I
still look upon TWITCH as one of the classic electronic/"industrial"
recordings of all time.  In the past couple of years, however (since
MIND, basically) Al has (A) done too many drugs, which has led to (B)
his loss of imagination, innovation and integrity.  I haven't bought
the new album, and I most likely won't, since the snippets I've heard
have done nothing for me.  Frankly, I feel that Al and co. have lapsed
into self-parody with this release, and not only are they ripping
themselves off (i.e. the obvious reurgitation of the "Burning Inside"
guitar riff on "N.W.O.", they're ripping *others* off as well (i.e. tons
of "TV II" are lifted directly from the Butthole Surfers' "The Shah
Sleeps in Lee Harvey's Grave", recorded in 1984, and much of the new
stuff sounds like second rate death metal).

Al Jourgensen used to be able to turn anything he touched into gold.
Now, he turns it into shit.  He nearly ruined Skinny Puppy with that
RABIES fiasco.  He stole RevCo from Luc Van Acker and reduced it from
brilliance (BIG SEXY LAND) to good-ol'-boy party music (BEERS, STEERS &
QUEERS).  It's too bad, really, since many of the others in the Minstry
camp have talent.   For example, Paul Barker's solo project (Lead Into
Gold) is excellent.  However, with Al running the show, they get bogged
down and buried.

Anyway, enough ranting.  I know that most people reading this will be
thinking "What's this guy talking about?  Ministry fuckin' ROCKS, man!"
Fine.  Just let me remember when they used to do *more than rock - when
they used to *think*, too - and leave me in peace.

as a note of interest, this still continues as a weekly radio show. the classic
rock station up here (ugh, i never listen, only dj for them when they're
desperate) plays it weekly. but i digress..

off the top of my head...

1. eurythmics, "touch" -- IMHO, the best band of the 80s, most innovative and
this was their best. strange, unusual and wonderful.

2. art of noise, "(who's afraid of?) the art of noise!" -- also their best
album, was their first full-length album. brilliant.

3. new order, "technique" -- ok ok, not their bet, but strangely enough, it
is the one album that makes me feel happy whenever i'm really depressed.

4. dead can dance, "a passage in time" -- just beautifully exotic.

5. joe jackson, "blaze of glory" -- ok, not that alternative, but i love it.
bought it for "19 forever" and now love the whole thing.

6. enya, "watermark" -- as a writer, this is the one that always helps me think
better.

7. suzanne vega, "suzanne vega" -- eloquent and simple.

8. nine inch nails, "pretty hate machine" -- ok, we need something to dance to
on this desert island!! :)

9. 808 state, "ex:el" -- same as #8.

10. sundays, "reading, writing and arithmetic" -- can't wait for their new one!

runners up include: toad the wet sprocket, "fear"; james, "seven"; depeche mode,
"music for the masses"; seal, "seal"; enya, "shepard moons"; danny elfman,
"beetlejuice"; juliana hatfield, "hey babe"; eurythmics, "1984 (for the love of
big brother)"; new order, "power, corruption and lies"; duncan dhu, "canciones".

well, it seems this is a rather extensive list, so i'll shut up now. :)

Sneak it in, if you dare.  Binoculars are allowed.  Anything that can be
used for any kind of permanent reproduction or replication isn't allowed,
such as cameras and tape recorders.  If you do decide to try to sneak one
in, don't be surprised if, in the event that they find it, you don't get
it back.

I think I saw one person that had managed to get a camera in.  That's it.

My favorite group!  I have all their major albums.

What I'd recommend is their SST Anthology.  It has basically a sampling
of songs off of 3 of their SST albums (Before they went to Sony/Epic)

Albums:
Uncle Anesthesia (Epic/Sony)
Buzz Factory (SST) [My favorite]
Invisible Lantern (SST)
Even if and Especially When (SST)

They also have out the Anthology, like I said, and an EP.

If you can sneak it by, they'll let you.  If you can talk them into
letting you take it in for some reason, they might.  The main reason I
said that you should avoid cans and bottles is that they are hard and
more easily noticed if they feel around.  They get really concerned 
about things that could be used as projectile weapons.  If they had
found the boxed juices I brought I would have given them some deal 
about a medical reason, but that I wanted to avoid juices in cans, etc.

Strictly speaking, if it is an item for consumption, you're not allowed
to bring it in.

They didn't get canned by Island... they left.  Apparently they weren't too

NO promotion).
