Apoptygma berzerk[views:5581][posts:27]______________________________________ [May 18,2005 9:59am - the_reverend ""] I'm listening to a cover of all tomorrows parties. awesome, I completely forgot about this band! |
| ___________________________________________ [May 18,2005 12:43pm - triumphant_Gleam ""] APB lacked excitement on the early recordings, but when Welcome to earth came out they started to get away from the depeche mode/early-OMD sound. I think Stefan Groths side projects H20 and Total Transformation are much better. |
| _______________________________________ [May 18,2005 12:52pm - the_reverend ""] I will have to look that up. VNV nation is playing in boston next month... the 12th I think. I'm wicked tempted. |
| __________________________________________ [May 18,2005 2:06pm - triumphant_Gleam ""] go to the vnv show for the opener Imperative Reaction...........more towards Velvet Acid Christ stuff. |
| ______________________________________ [May 18,2005 2:12pm - the_reverend ""] Imperative reaction is more like suicide commando or I, parasite than VAC. Low key. VAC stuff is a lot faster, next to nothing as far as ambient. |
| __________________________________________ [May 18,2005 2:35pm - triumphant_Gleam ""] I didn't care for Suicide Commando, probably why I didn't find the similarities. Most Metropolis stuff sounds the same. |
| ______________________________________ [May 18,2005 2:38pm - the_reverend ""] especially now, since it's 90% synthpop. |
| __________________________________________ [May 18,2005 2:46pm - triumphant_Gleam ""] echo image was a good synth pop group. I always prefered stuff off netwerk, release, hands has put out some decent stuff especially Needle Sharing and Tarmvred, ant-zen are gods, Cold Meat Industries has some quality acts. Metropolis is a good gateway for kids to get into darker electronic, but depending on the label to be the start all end all of industrial/electronic music is plain moronic. |
| ______________________________________ [May 18,2005 2:48pm - the_reverend ""] I haven't gotten anything from ant-zen/hymen for years. great stuff when you can get it. netwerk's be letting me down with crappy releases. |
| __________________________________________ [May 18,2005 2:50pm - triumphant_Gleam ""] yeah, but early netwerk ala Skinny Puppy and early Delerium, key word being early are solid acts. |
| ______________________________________ [May 18,2005 2:51pm - the_reverend ""] yeah, but lately.. like new delerium... yucky. |
| __________________________________________ [May 18,2005 2:54pm - triumphant_Gleam ""] lol new delerium is shit. did rhys go through some life changing experience or something? |
| ______________________________________ [May 18,2005 3:11pm - the_reverend ""] sounds like it.. I think it's all the fear factory. |
| __________________________________________ [May 18,2005 3:42pm - triumphant_Gleam ""] well the Fear is the Mindkiller EP was fantastic. |
| ______________________________________ [May 18,2005 3:48pm - the_reverend ""] I think I have that. I will also admit that I listen to WAY too much din_fiv and what happened to the boston band battery cage? |
| ___________________________________________ [May 19,2005 12:39pm - triumphant_Gleam ""] no idea, you really liked that din_fiv release? The very monotone/german esque vocal stylings had me in stitches after track 2. |
| ______________________________________ [May 19,2005 1:02pm - the_reverend ""] the lyrics are cheese too, camp value I guess. I really liked the boston elektro 101 comp dav_din put out. |
| __________________________________________ [May 19,2005 1:07pm - triumphant_Gleam ""] did you go to Pigface last night? I am just curious to know who is in the band besides Martin Atkins. |
| ______________________________________ [May 19,2005 1:09pm - the_reverend ""] they played last night? I got an e-mail with the list of people in the tour. the only other I remember was en esch. I can look when I get home for the e-mail. for me, no chris connelly, no pigface. |
| __________________________________________ [May 19,2005 1:29pm - triumphant_Gleam ""] yeah at Man Ray, I was right across the street at TT The Bears seeing Monade. |

I went to go check out Sheep on Drugs, who were awesome. You Shriek and Nocturne were awful, but that was to be expected. I didn't really stick around for much of Pigface since I've never really been into them, but I saw them enough to see that The Enigma (random?) is in the band now and to hear them pull off a decent KMFDM cover. VNV Nation/Imperative Reaction is probably going to be one of the highlights of the year as far as shows are concerned. Can't wait!! |
| __________________________________________ [May 19,2005 1:33pm - triumphant_Gleam ""] VNV being a highlight? what a sad life. |
| ____________________________________ [May 19,2005 1:34pm - ZBC Metal ""] What can I say, I dig em! |
| __________________________________________ [May 19,2005 1:48pm - triumphant_Gleam ""] naww thats cool, EBM as a whole just isn't my thing. |
| ______________________________________ [May 19,2005 1:52pm - the_reverend ""] I like just about all the vnv I've listened too. yeah, the enigma is with them too.. I thought that was weird too.. what did he do? |
| ____________________________________ [May 19,2005 2:00pm - ZBC Metal ""] For a few songs he held a guitar and for a few more he stood behind some keyboards, but I never saw him play either, just kind of stood around and made crazy-eyes at the crowd. |

I'm wicked tempted. The only APB song I like is the VNV Nation remix of "Kathy's Song." I'll be at the VNV show with bells (and vinyl pants) on. |
| ______________________________________ [May 19,2005 5:31pm - the_reverend ""] is angel industrial putting it on? is angel industrial even still around? |
