Well, the "yes they suck/no they don't" angle is pretty tiring, but overall I think this thread is the only game in town. Even if you don't give a flying frack about the particular music, it is a fascinating socio-artistic event that will NEVER happen again. Admittedly, I have additional reasons to be concerned about it, but still ... this is a serious thing ... the British invasion all over again. This is only the beginning.

Break out all my old industrial records ... ?

Amen, brother! =) Actually, I might have to go for 808 Utd State 90 or something ...

TIBOA is a rather radical departure from his previous sound. Weathered Well, Natural Composite et al. have a uniquely deep, organic, (as Eno might say) squelchy aesthetic to them ... they're more psychedelic, which works better with his usual repetitiveness. Definitely check some of it out.

Triggering hiphop/rock samples may be questionable in terms of musical talent, but triggering mass market hysteria is not a feat performed by idiots. All considerations aside, I'd put my money on them over the Chems. --Seofon
