I absolutely love the fact that industrial music keeps staying in core underground development tastes.
I kept dragging on and on tonight at the NYC (brooklyn, clinton hill) Bunker show hosted in park by Halcyon record store, with performances my Derek Plaslaiko (who played great broad tracks, including serious deep house classics that I personally treasure), Pole, and Mike Huckabee. Anyways - I kept dragging on and on about skinny puppy tonight, about their use of midi, synths, vocoders, samplers, and the breathtaking effort of war/anti-war music using sonic catastrophe quite like they did. Anyways, I'm out. peace you beatniks. On Thu, Feb 19, 2009 at 11:31 AM, Odeluga, Ken <[email protected]> wrote: > I guess. > > But don't get me wrong.
