any fans of early industrial?


Are there any fans of Throbing Gristle,Psychic Tv,Spk,Dg307 and Einsterzunde Neubaten?I am just curious if any audiogoners are into this wild stuff.Mike from Czech rep

Although not purely industrial, I'd like to throw in
"Alien Soundtracks"('77) and "Half Machine Lip Moves"('78)
by Chrome (Helios Creed/Damon Edge). Fascinating amalgam
of hi/lo tech cyberpunk multitracked at varying speeds, which sounds to me like music made from rusty parts found in an auto scrap yard.
Also "Third Reich n' Roll" by the Residents, though even further removed from strictly industrial sounds.
Ahhh, Ralph Records !! Loved them and the mascot...and also their slogan ("Buy or Die"). Some neat stuff by the Residents, Snakefinger, Renaldo and the Loaf, etc etc.

Thanks for reviving a few "memories" :-)

Snakefinger(rip)was great! Unfortunately he had to paint houses to make a living, I was told. BTW, I still have one
of those little "Buy or Die" catalogs. Another Ralph slogan was: "Ignorance of your culture is not considered cool".
Also, "Third Reich n' Roll" was also issued in limited edition in a black laquered wood case with a drawer for the LP. It came in a draw-string bag made from a piece of Cristo's "Running Fence" fabric and cost $200. That was a lot of money in the '70s, but now I wish I had bought one.
It's good to run into another "Ralph Records" fan.
