The music of co-conspirators Otto von Schirach and Mr. Feathers has always been about extremes; the limitations of relatively diatonic systems, the overthrowing of "dance music" as a concept, the removal of subtext in a genre dictated by titles more than audio output. But while Otto prefers working within the Miami Bass realm with splashes of post-Rusko dubstep, Mr. Feathers has bumped up the indeterminable source of his music to a point of nigh unidentified influences, drawing equally from the sharp breaks and one-bar aural jump cuts of multiple genres (dubstep, breakcore, braindance) and the propulsive simplicity of everything from ...

Remasters for the seminal post-punk godfathers of what would become “industrial.” (Not really industrial, but it inspired bands like Ministry and Nine Inch Nails, who somehow got wrongly lumped in with bands like Einsturzende Neubauten and Skinny Puppy, who really are industrial.) Unique here is the first-time-ever-on-CD Ha! Killing Joke Live, which documents the Revelations era of the band. All [...]

1984: Silueta Pálida - Silueta Pálida 12" by Marcos Hassan on 05-10-2012 In these times of globalization and blog saturation, we can hear music from all strains made all over the world and discover forgotten classic, local anthems, and records that barely got recognition past the block they were recorded on. Truly a wonderful time, but still, some patches of land have gone largely undocumented. I’m talking specifically about Mexico. By the start of the 80s, Mexican bands either embraced the rupestre movement – folk songs about life in the city using low brow language – or went over to the electronic ...

Once upon time, codeine cough syrup sold over the counter, Quaaludes on the black market. Kids like me stared at our bedroom ceilings with “Cherub Rock” on the tape deck to match the apocalyptic grandeur of our emotions. Psychedelic pop met industrial noise and gave us the romantic nihilism of Loveless. Rick Rubin’s American Recordings hosted Sir Mix-a-Lot, but also JAMC, Skinny Puppy, Pram and Love and Rockets – and those most American of dark dreamers, LA’s own Medicine.

Alien Sex Fiend are true outcasts. Arriving too late for punk's party, the band's glamorous yet distorted take on the Rockabilly look marked them out on the nascent goth scene. Famously formed at infamous nightspot the Bat Cave, Nik Wade (Nik Fiend) and Chrissie Wade (Mrs Fiend) had a harder, brittle edge which their contemporaries lacked. Adding inspiration to the Industrial scene, the band's output is still difficult to classify. Effectively a genre of their own, ClashMusic writer Sam Walker-Smart recently tracked down Alien Sex Fiend in order to explore the sonic and sartorial developments of the ...

We’re wrapping up this week of videos made up of songs that used to be all over KROQ but have, over the years, vanished. This particular sound remains one of my absolute favorites (Skinny Puppy, Ministry, Nitzer Ebb) and had Swedish Egil or I had been able to convince management of the time to let [...]
