I didn't realise I had so many Drexciya records until I watched that, I've even got the Translussion one and didn't realise it was Stinson.

Looks like I've got some research to do... I've heard of Skinny Puppy, but I don't recall having heard any tracks by any of those artists.

Welcome to the RMF! And thanks for the recommendations!

Tell your friends! :D

They are all from a similar industrial and EBM background, some good stuff there, hope you will like some of it.

8) Cool! Thanks for those! I do like good industrial music. I'm a big fan of Rob Zombie in particular. Hopefully going to see NIN (supported by the once-again-reformed Jane's Addiction :shock: ) later in the year. I can't wait. I've seen NIN before (the Downward Spiral tour) and they were excellent. I'm really looking forward to seeing Jane's Addiction too. Their reformation album "Strays" was(/is) superb.

I'll check those bands out this week and do a review of one or more of them when I've got a bit of time.

Saw NIN last week and they were very good, they always put on a great show...with a somewhat large number of lights too.
