Electro-industrial

Electro-industrial is one of the Post-Industrial outgrowths of the initial industrial sound developed in the late 70’s/early 80’s by acts such as Throbbing Gristle, SPK & Cabaret Voltaire. Not merely bands using electronic instruments, electro-industrial specifically refers to a brooding, complex, layered sound combining synthesized choirs & strings, arpeggiated chords, media samples and often vocoded or modulated vocals.

I don't think Angelspit should be in the top 8 for "electro-industrial" artists simply because the style of music that they make, it's just NOT electro-industrial...it's more akin to electro punk, industrial rock or most accurately the style-over-substance (fashion) sub-genre of cybergoth. Unfortunately, the flood of uninitiated newcomers to the scene have little knowledge of the history of the genre and can't appreciate the subtle differences between genres. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy that the scene has new blood. I just wish more would take the time to inform themselves before incorrectly tagging songs as styles that they're just not. It's comically ironic that with wikipedia and filetubes it's never been easier to learn about the history of the medium and yet there have never been such degrees of ignorance.

Why do you think that Angelspit doesn't deserve to be in top 8?

At least Top 8 for the tag is looking better now with prominence of FLA, Puppy, Haujobb, Mentallo, & Pitchfork. Good job with your tags & plays everyone. Now just to get Faderhead, Angelspit & Combichrist the hell out of the Top 8...

I guess Bjork showed up because of new album spike and previous tagging as 'electro-industrial' due to Army Of Me and the video of humping robots that is All Is Full of Love. I won't deny she incorporates electro-industrial elements into her work, but she also does so with hip-hop elements too. Doesn't make her a hip-hop artist. Oh well, it's gone now anyhoo.

Combichrist began as a somewhat respectable rhythmic noise act with the Joy Of Gunz album. Then he ventured into combining the sound with techno club elements and it became something else. Andy coined the term Techno Body Music (tbm) to define it which is accurate, the most banal club elements of techno & EBM fused at the anus. Soon it inspired a legion of imitators. It no longer bears any resemblance to electro-industrial and you are both correct that it should certainly not be tagged as such.

i agree with you bloodwerk. they're more harsh ebm then anything in this genre. people need to cut the whole putting everyone as every industrial genre there is. each are industrial for there individual subgenre of the scene as a whole. not everything as a whole.

The 9 ELECTRIC sound is ELECTRO-ROCK….the collision of electronic music with hard hitting, modern rock. In the likes of their mentors NIN, Manson, Static-X, Zombie, Pendulum, Infected Mushroom and The Prodigy http://www.9electric.com/home/

No, Imperative Reaction shouldn't be on there either. Only their first album Eulogy For A Sick Child would be considered Electro-Industrial (and it is an excellent album in that style). Their later material is more a hybrid of synth-pop & industrial rock. I like them, even their new material, but they don't make music in the electro-industrial style anymore.

Why are Combichrist on the top list. They are like techo/industrial. Imperative Reaction should be there.
