sure, i guess a lot of it was based on early skinny puppy and front 242, the first
revco, ministry's "twitch". but they somehow distilled those things into something
recognizably FLA. unfortunately, now FLA themselves have become an
influence by their ubiquity and consistency, and now even worse
industrial/EBM/"coldwave" is derived from it, while adding nothing new.
