Final is Justin Broadrick, the man whom I credit with single-handedly
keeping the breath of life in the fetid rotting corpse that is "Industrial".
There was a Final album from that era called "One", don't know if there's
anything more recent. As far as I know, other than his Ice project, most
of Justin's non-Godflesh moments in the past couple of years have been
under the guise of Techno Animal (with Kevin Martin). There's a fabulous
Industrial Trip-Hop track on Rising High's "Further Self-Evident Truths 3"
compilation, and a double-CD called "Re-Entry" which was released as part
of Virgin's Ambient series, although "Ambient Brut" might be a better
classification.
Needless to say, I think Justin's one of the most creative gents of the 90's
and almost everything he's touched is either extremely creative or at least
interesting, IMHO.
