That's just what I was thinking too. If you listen to the stuff before
Industrial music got tangled up with the whole Goth thing (fu*kn Skinny
Puppy!), You can hear a lot of what seeded IDM today. Now-a-days, Industrial
music is a total joke. It's so sad. I remember the first time I heard Ae, I
immediately thought of Cabaret Voltaire. I can't believe no one mentions them
much. Must be because they tarnished there image so badly in the late 80's. I
also get a little Throbbing Gristle out of AFX every now and then. Speaking of
TG, Add N to X are totally the modern version of TG.
