I was going to say, the appeal to VS is the industrial-ish sound and it's
always nice to find artists in the "IDM" genre who are playing with
similar sound. Kill Memory Crash released a neat 6 song cd/ep on ghostly
earlier this yeah that has some of the similar sounds, although more
ebmish or what have you.
also, interviewed in the current issue of "industrial nation" otto von
schirach said he would be working with skinny puppy on their new release.
(I'm not sure if this is old news for anyone out there so i figured i
would throw it out there) cevin key of skinny puppy was really into wat
otto von schirach was doing and got in contact etc. most of key's stuff
has always had overlap in the idm/industrial realms, especially what he
did as plateau. his most recent release "the dragon experience" is also
worth checking out.
peace.
