any fans of early industrial?

Have you tried "Clan of Xymox"? (Sometimes known as just plain "Xymox".)

They are very good, especially the albums "Twist of Shadows", Metomorphosis" and "Creatures". The live album, conveniently titled "Live", is also a very good live album.

The only problem I have with the band, is that none of their newer releases are on Vinyl. Of the albums I mentioned, only "Twist of Shadows" was released on vinyl.

Kurt,
I have all releases by Xymox/CoX, really like them although not really industrial except perhaps the recent excellent Creatures and Notes From Underground......I believe Ronny Moorings was very influenced by work of Wumpscut on these two.

1980's CoX work on 4AD label fit well with other label groups like Cocteau Twins, Dead Can Dance etc

Ok, Megasam, I will try out Wumpscut (interesting name, BTW).

Can you suggest some titles I might like?
(BTW, I do not like most Industrial/Goth groups, including Cocteau Twins, Ministry or Skinny Puppy. Although I do like some of Marilyn Manson - Go figure, huh?!)

Thanks, in advance!

PS I agree that Xymox may not be industrial, but what catagory would you put them in? (I usually find them in the Industrial and/or Goth catagory).

PPS Is it me, or does it seem just a bit sacreligious (sic) to be discussing Industrial/Goth bands here on Audiogon? (Playing this kind of music on a multi-thousand dollar audio system probably would have most of the people on this site shaking their heads!)

Oh yes, I also really like Manson from Antichrist Superstar to present. A bit too glam goth to be taken seriously but music does rock pretty hard and has some industrial elements.

Sacriligious?
They will kick me off the board if I ever start with my large black metal collection: Cradle of Filth, Dimmu Bogir, Tristania etc. he he.

For Wumpscut try to get middle period stuff:
-embryo dead
-bunker gate seven

If you want similar stuff to Xymox get all:
-Switchblade Symphony (3 albums)

Getting back to the early industrial stuff, I would love to find copy of:
SPK - Machine Age Vodoo
has a song called "metal dance" and is more accessable than early noisey material like Auto Dafe album.

Network label had a lot of early industrial acts signed, one I remeber was Severed Heads, still have greatest hits collection......song "twenty deadly diseases" is cool
