I agree. The main reason Meat Beat got lumped in with "industrial/goth" was
because the labels they released their earliest work on (Sweatbox in the
UK, Wax Trax in the US) were best known for that sort of music. I
interviewed Dangers a few years ago and asked him about the association,
and he said that he never really understood it. He was more interested in
hip-hop and acid house than goth and industrial.
Not that I have anything against goth and industrial, mind you. It's a lot
of what I was listening to back in the late 80s, and it's what led me to
MBM. But it's not the proper genre to be putting Meat Beat into. as some
people are wont to do.
