As far as this list goes, get _Digital_Soundtracks_ or you'll kick
yourself. Check that ... get _Digital_Soundtracks_ or I'll kick you. =)
It's from 1992, and out on an Italian label called Contempo. It's a good
one to start with, anyway, because it doesn't have any vocals ... and while
there are many worse vocalists in the industrial world, DVA's aren't by any
means fantastic. And -- what can I say -- it's got that _classic_ vibe to
it, like that first Woob album or something.
In general, DVA happily tread that no-man's-land between industrial and
techno, in somewhat the same manner as Psychick Warriors ov Gaia. Simple
rhythms and sequences, dark vocals and samples, not noisy like a lot of
industrial is (but rather with a characteristically bad/odd EQ signature).
They're really into cognitive philosophy, and their liner notes are full of
curious and grammatically-poor rantings on the subject. You would do well
to check out tracks like "Soundmirror", "Hacker (Hacked)", and "Eternity"
as a next step.
