to which i was rebuked by djcleverhans:
: actually if you people had done your research and known it
: was a hardcore/gabber techno compilation before you bought it,
: you wouldn't be bitching. it definitely *is* the industrial
: of techno, and a good comp at that.
: sorry to be a dick, but not everything that says "industrial"
: means it has to sound like KMFDM.
Fortunately, it was at the radio station, where it amuses many DJ's,
myself including. Still, I put on this weeks chart. I've paid not a dime.
Call the style what you will; it still sucks.
If I wanted bass I'd throw on Lustmord. CrashWorship for drums, maybe.
(Idea: crashworship & lustmord live at the same time/stage!)
But a single clipped-out sample* of a 303 looped/synched to a run-of-the-mill
drum beat STILL SUCKS. I think it's cool if these DJ's are blurring the line,
but it's a poor second, at least with this methodology.
RE Hans KMFDM quipt:
Very true, but neither Gristle nor Kraftwerk nor FLA nor Exessive Force nor
the RESIDENTS(!) suck (boing) like this. Futhermore, making this a double
CD set a overkill on a par with saying "with my eyes gouged out and at night,
things seem a little dim."
who said anything about KMFDM, anyway?
Having said all that, the 2nd cd is much better than the first. ;)
Yours,
Lee
*It's still bad karma to sample 303's. :)
