wow. theres lots to learn. genesis p orrige was in throbbing
gristle, the band that basically "invented" industrial music. PTV
was a later project that was more acid house oriented, though not
exclusively. coil is peter christopherson (also of throbbing
gristle fame) and john balance. those guys are nuts, their records
were very influential to me when i was like 15. without all that
kind of stuff, id have never been able to get into techno house
and jungle. theres so much more to say about these cats but i have
to run to work.
