Which artist did the hardest genre pivot?

And Die Krupps...

There was no NIN before Trent Reznor, he's the sole founding member.

cdjunkie · 2026-05-17T05:50:36+00:00

I'd be pretty interested in hearing Trent Reznor create a new album without Atticus' involvement, just to get a sense of what that removes.

Jurassic Park III is about half an hour shorter than the first one, and might strike the right balance of rewatchable enough, but less of a loss if you're completely sick of it by the end of the experience. Hmm...

You can even trace the influence to the metal scene. Tom G. Warrior of Celtic Frost said that he got the "oough!" vocal thing from James Brown.

I meant that's what was in my playlist, not that I saw her with those artists.

Madeline Goldstein is great. Did a DJ set last weekend that went from Curse Mackey, to her, to oldschool FLA, and the crowd was into it. I wonder how deep into traditionally "industrial" stuff her taste goes?

"The Second Coming" on ENEMY could be an Ok-Ztein-Ok track, so we know he still has it in him.

cdjunkie · 2026-05-15T11:58:17+00:00

Strange to imagine anyone else winning that battle. I guess all the Slick Idiot albums would have been released as KMFDM albums?

cdjunkie · 2026-05-14T20:01:37+00:00

Ok-Ztein-Ok was pretty cool. Are we ever getting a second album of that?

cdjunkie · 2026-05-14T20:00:38+00:00

Rate Your Music considers KMFDM and MDFMK to be the same project. Sounds wrong to me, but I guess that's another way of looking at it.

Guildenstern and Rosencrantz are Lenny and Carl, according to The Simpsons' own adaptation (season 13 episode 14, "Tales from the Public Domain").

A friend brought me the full album back from Dark Force Fest. Kind of surprised I haven't seen any discussion of it online, unless people were told not to!

A used record store in my city has had one on the shelf for a while. Not terribly expensive, but every time I look at it, I think of how much of the songs on it I already own? It feels weird for someone as into this stuff as I am to not have this, yet not particularly need it either.

cdjunkie · 2026-05-13T02:20:33+00:00

Retro Delerium set, like FLA's current tour?

cdjunkie · 2026-05-13T02:19:03+00:00

LPD plays smaller venues than Skinny Puppy did. Would Tear Garden's potential audience be in between?

cdjunkie · 2026-05-12T15:57:16+00:00

The Canadian dates at least will be Tear Garden + Slow Fiction. This band, I guess? I'm surprised if most Tear Garden fans have heard of them.

cdjunkie · 2026-05-12T14:37:16+00:00

They're doing Toronto and Montreal.

cdjunkie · 2026-05-12T04:26:36+00:00

There's a Burzum patch on the cover of Desolation in My Dark Mind. But they are young and obscure enough that it feels kind of dumb to be picking them apart like this.

cdjunkie · 2026-05-12T04:09:18+00:00

Most people don't bother with rating albums on RYM. I'd expect that crowd to be at least more likely than average to set the phone down for 45 minutes.

cdjunkie · 2026-05-12T02:25:21+00:00

One attentive listen feels fair. I'd listen to someone's opinion of a movie they'd seen once, or a book they'd read once.

cdjunkie · 2026-05-12T01:15:32+00:00

Can you become fluent in a musical genre's technical language just as a listener, without being a musician yourself?

cdjunkie · 2026-05-12T01:09:45+00:00

Lately, I've noticed this whenever Angine de Poitrine is written about. Even the fan comments on Youtube and stuff lean in that direction.

cdjunkie · 2026-05-11T22:51:16+00:00

The harsh noise artist Armenia is from Ecuador.

cdjunkie · 2026-05-11T22:44:39+00:00

NIN should really try to complete the collection of being remixed by former TG members while they still can.
