Hell, i can´t wait to see TG live in a few weeks (2 times! did i make you jealous?...no?..... you´re a liar).

Check out some SBK, Lustmord and Deat In June too.

I wouldn´t only check out Neubauten´s Kollaps. Sure, it´s their most "industrial" release, but they have so much amazing stuff that you just can´t go wrong.

I prefer to skip Clock DVA and go straight to T.A.G.C. (The Anti Group).
"Digitaria" is one of the best records I have ever heard. I think I have bought it 4 or 5 times for different reasons. They made many interesting albums (and a few clunkers, but we won't talk about that); there was a group that was really trying to break some ground.

Edit:
Clock DVA are still good; didn't mean to imply otherwise...

God, it all starts so innocently. A strange liking for 20 Jazz Funk Greats, an essay deadline, and the next thing I know I'm contemplating buying a Whitehouse album. The world moves in mysterious ways.

I like Death In June much better as an apocalyptic folk group. Their early records really don't do it for me as much as the ones from the 90s on.

Death In June are a band I've never got at all. To be honest, I find them pretty boring. In addition, Douglas Pearce can star in all the gay porn videos he wants, but he'll always be a Brownshirt-obsessed putzbag.

I like pretty much everything i´ve heard (later and early stuff). But my favourite is Burial. Come on, you gotta love that record.

I only know The Anti Group's Digitaria and it's a good record.

[demonrail666]

So, to recap, let me get this right...

TG's Heathern Earth is great; SPK did one good album (or maybe more); Clock DVA are OK but TAGC are better; I shouldn't forget the Cabs; Birthdeath Experience is the one Whitehouse record to get; I need to get Kollaps immediately; oh and Death in June got more interesting when they became an 'apocalyptic folk' group.

Christ, I have a LOT of catching up to do.

Talking of Death In June, did I mention I was snubbed by David Tibet at the NWW gig?

I was with a friend and we were talking to his friend, NWW's Andrew Liles. David Tibet came up to us with two girls and introduced them to Andrew and his girlfriend Mel, "This is Andrew, [looks at me and friend, moves swiftly on]...this is Mel..." We slowly backed away...

I wouldn't say SPK only made one good record, but Leichenschrei is a belter and there's lots to avoid.

And yes, Kollaps should be in any music fans collection for sure.

Tibet's a god-bothering tosser. Fuck him!

demonrail666 - get in touch w/me re "Birthdeath Experience".

Well, you just got your sweet revenge by mentioning him in the same breath as DIJ now that their relations have turned so sour!

Take that, you dramatic reciter of arcane wisdom!


(I love Current 93, by the way)

That sounds potentially sinister.

That wasn't all he did to me that day. Him and his cohorts bored the hell out of me later in the evening.

But I had the last laugh...I left early...ha ha ha...

Tibet is a polarizing figure in many ways. I mean, I love a lot of his music and everything, but I totally understand that his voice is an obstacle that cannot be overcome for a lot of people.

80's Death In June are pretty much hit or miss, but there are gems to be found (Burial being a presonal favourite). Their current incarnation is more like late Coil from what i got from the last time i've seen them live. With Clock DVA it's very much the same. Some stuff really does it for me or they border on the plain annoying. DVA - related, check out Vision Of Excess.

[demonrail666]

Anyone know if this is any good?

 

I've seen Tibet on the Victoria line once, when he lived in East London. He didn't look like the friendliest of chaps to approach, but then he might have been going through a bad day.

Yes, i highly recommend it, even if there are slight inaccuracies on it.

[MellySingsDoom]

demonrail666 - I have the original of that. A very interesting and entertaining read. Worth picking up if it's not too expensive.
