Skinny Puppy are timeless, Einsturzend Neubauten are timeless, Ministry are timeless (well, maybe only until "Psalm 69..."), but NIN... I really don't find them timeless at all. What new contribution did they give to the industrial genre? Compared to what was being done in the late 80's, none. But the late 80's industrial bands did evolve the music that was made in the 70's. I think that since the album "Last Rights" by Skinny Puppy in 92, nothing really new happened. But there was an album that caught my attention, "Spears Into Hooks" by Meira Asher (1999). This one also makes NIN look like a very sweet pop band... ~lmarta. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
