exactly. which is why i wonder about the person who thought they were silly based on a live show in 86. images stick in our minds sometimes more than music. would you have thought they were silly if you hadn't seen them? have you listened to anything else outside of that period? not to kill a dead horse, but things done on 'last rights', particularly "download" use techniques that would later be used in other electronic styles discussed on this list. glitches, CD-skipping, plunderphonic-type sample lifting. and hardly a danceable track on there. having said that, most "industrial distorted vox" is pretty tiresome to me too, but i guess with puppy and ministry i put it into the perspective that they are the ones who perfected (if not originated) that, so i accept it a bit more from them. but it all depends on the song. there are no sacred cows to me, even the best bands are capable of total shit. and puppy are far from the best band. but they were fairly important. d. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
