Sorry, but bands of that time period like SPK, Nurse With Wound, hell even Throbbing Gristle were doing far more interesting things - Whitehouse didn't do anything 'first'. As far as the 'novelty' of hearing Whitehouse, yeah sure, everyone should be forced to listen to their stuff at least once just to know it exists. But as far as records that hold up to the test of time, Whitehouse don't cut it... -- ________________________ omz beautamous loaf recordings http://www.hotweird.com/loaf --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
