The new Marsheaux album is a good one.

Hi from the UK. Thanks for the friend add.

Hey there! Thanks for the pointer. :) It has been awhile, eh?

nice, thanks for the rec.

Nice! Yeah, they do have a lot of lame stuff, but they've had some really good stuff too- Numb, Haujobb, Mentallo & the Fixer come to mind. Thanks for the heads-up, nice to hear from ya. Hope all is well there...

Cephalgy... I've heard a track here & there (net radio), and I liked- if I hadn't found all this great power noise stuff, I'd have some by now. :)

A few more eM dnb suggestions: DJ Hidden, Limewax & The Panacea, SPL & The Panacea

yep, the new S.A.M kicks ass!

Cool- thanks for the heads-up! Noisier, eh? Definitely have to check that out.

[artist]St. John's Eve[/artist] is back- new stuff there, also recording now under [artist]J.K. Wiechert[/artist].

Hah, yeah- never too old for some Psychopomps. :)

It is strange, huh? :) I know what you mean about the age thing... that's actually exactly how I feel about The Tear Garden.

I know what you mean about collect:erase- I've been really getting into that style of thing lately, I call it dark IDM. It doesn't seem pounding enough to be power noise, but too harsh for, er, "normal" IDM... nice to know I'm not the only one geeky enough to have pondered this. :) Heh, as for LPD, "dissing" is a strong word I think... like I told him I can see the talent, I think I'm just not hearing the right stuff- it's not that I was ever disgusted by them or anything, just never really excited either. I did listen to some while I still had Simplify set up, which is where I heard "Princess Coldheart", which I did like. I'll take some direction from your post & give them another chance.

ah- now that would be a sweet match-up. Will check those two out for sure- you're not the first to mention Apparat, must be good.

ok, probably nevermind Burial...

I assume you're talking about the split he did with Scrap.edx, since I see it on your "recent" list... killer stuff indeed. Circle the Squares is pretty good too, but not as harsh as that. I think I like Scrap.edx better, but eM doesn't have anything else (yet). A couple more in that style I've just gotten recently (still passing judgement): Keef Baker & Burial- possibly old news, and on the mellower side, but I'm digging so far.

heh, no need to make excuses, it's ok to have a life. :) Besides, I'm pretty sure you're the type that really couldn't give up music if you tried.

right again! Bipol kicks ass.

Sweet, thanks. :)

Haha, and you thought industrial was bad, eh? :) You're welcome.

Apparently the term for stuff like Noisia & Panacea is Darkstep, and Drill & bass would be the glitchier stuff like Enduser. I've heard the term Drum & noise used for stuff like Current Value, I think that fits it pretty well.

more d&b recs @ em: [artist]Heinrich At Hart[/artist] & [artist]Enduser[/artist]

NEW VIC - heard some of! but don't have yet!

I have been rocking alot of Alton as well! You know I need the CD of that Vic...I can't just do the mp3s! : D

yo! where did you get that vic?? why can I not find where to order that cd!!??!

Also check out the Schwarzenegger Series here: http://www.net-lab.co.uk/ (more free stuff). If you like it glitchy, Ebola has stuff on eM, I also recommend Duran Duran Duran & Rotator for that sort of thing. I've only really begun to delve into this stuff in the last year or so myself, so I'm still finding new stuff myself... I'll keep you posted. :)

Sure do. :) first off, for some free stuff: http://www.archive.org/details/exegene Somewhere was a legal torrent of the whole collection, quick google didn't turn it up right off. On eM: Synkro, Defragmentation, Panacea, Phace, Techno Animal, Scorn. Also worth seeking out: Noisia (on beatport, but expensive), Technical Itch.

Yeah, I just noticed they have other releases... guess I have some searching to do. :)

Once again, you were right- that new Xotox is excellent! Have you heard Cervello Elettronico? One I just grabbed at eM- if you like that Oil 10, you might like them too. Not carbon-copies by any means, but similar in a hard-to-pin-down sort of way.

No- well, all I've heard is the remix Endif did that was on his site, which I liked. Listening now, sounds cool so far... thanks for the heads-up. Yeah, crunchy! :)

Oh yeah, I'd actually forgotten about the videos. Nice eh? Glad you like.

Well, being all digital doesn't necessarily mean bad to me, but if it's that bad, I'll take your word for it. :)

Ok, I see your name in front of a song name there... hook a guy up? :) Also, another rec for ya... kind of a weird one this time. Grabbed it from eM my last time around- [artist]Current Value[/artist]. They're listed under drum and bass, but I'd say they have a very industrial aesthetic. Of course, listen before you download on my say-so, but I think you might like...

May be playing Ground Zero in April...otherwise proper tracks are coming to Last.FM and everywhere.

sweet, there sure hasn't been much of that lately... thanks.

Cool... I think you'll really like Verstaerker.

More nifty free noise, he recently uploaded stuff here: http://www.last.fm/music/Verstaerker Not too long ago he switched to an all-hardware setup- not familiar enough to name songs off the top of my head...

I know! 50k, it's been a long strange trip. #50k was Johnny Cash - Ring of Fire too.

More cool free stuff, if you don't know it already: [artist]Arzt+Pfusch[/artist]- I mostly like the album Warum?- especially Symble Pharon.

So should I change my name to Xevin so the kids think I'm cool?

Nice, thanks again. Hmmm... Xotox, Xentrifuge, Xanopticon- is X the new K in industrial band names? :)

Sweet! Thanks for the heads-up...

Why, thank you sir! I'll add Chris Murray to my check it out list.

Yeah, a bit... had one of their albums at one point, which I remember liking. And that one station in WI that had the industrial show on the weekend played Soundmirror every week. :) Never really thought of that before, but I can see your point. Similarly, I remember wondering why you didn't hear more about them as opposed to, say, FLA- which is what I wonder about ZiA & the current ebm crop.

Yeah, I've only listened to it once in the morning before work (so wasn't really giving it 100% attention), but Kadavergehorsam (the only other one I have) made more of an impression on me even right off.

THX!!! noisy greetings.

Nice! Those guys need to come stateside.

Hehe, ja. :) Yeah, I wasn't too surprised to find out about the hardware thing either... and you're quite right about H being one of the few original-sounding dark electro acts. I love the mix of sounds he uses.

http://www.fundustrial.de/ has another Störsender track, some other pretty good stuff too.
