any fans of early industrial?

Slappy if you don't have it, check out the Dot's album A Perfect Mystery, I think it's one of their best and not a bad recording to listen to on a hifi rig either. Another timeless classic is the Tear Garden Last Man to Fly, I think I've played that disc more times than any that I own.

Download/Eyes of Stanley pain is one of the best industrial albums of 90's,very futuristic and dynamic. We make noises.... Other recomendations:Leather Strip/Selfinflicted and Mentalo and Fixer or Velvet and acid christ

what about JOY DIVISION

they were the complete trend trend setting
and their music is timeless

Can was the band from Germany that really started the industrial sound with "Yoo Doo Right" in 1969. The song comprised all of side 2 of their album "Monster Movie" and it is still in print both as new vinyl and CD.

Can ? Wow, haven't heard that one in a while. Yeah, maybe they could be labelled as the parents of Industrial. But I think a lot of the experimental Moog stuff from the 60's, and even the old weird sound effects experimentalists going back to the 20's (?!) can be labelled as such.

I think Industrial as a concept for music, not just a sound, was more in the late 70's, though.....

And Joy Division ? Industrial ? Uhhhhmmmm. Nuh-uh. I loved them, they were my fave band until I really got into the Chameleons UK (hence my A'gon nym), but I would never classify them as Industrial. Always worth mentioning though ! So thanks for that !
