THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION DISC ONE

1 EINSTURZENDE NEUBATEN: Feurio! - remix (Produced under license from Elektra Entertainment) Germany’s Einsturzende Neubaten emerged in the early 1980s, an uncompromising battery of noise which lay waste

traditional and unconventional instruments alike. Neubaten - the name means “collapsing new buildings." “Feurio!” dates from 1989. Blixa Bargeld's can also be found playing guitar with Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.

2. PIGFACE: Winnebago Induced Tapeworm - remix (Courtesy of Invisible) The first industrial supergroup, Pigface formed after ex-Public Image drummer Martin Atkins toured with Ministry in 1989. Its revolving roster has featured both Paul Barker and Bill Rieflin, Chris Connelly, Trent Reznor, Skinny Puppy's Nivek Ogre and KMFDM's En Esch, amongst others. This track is from Pigface's EP, “Spoon Breakfast.”

3. SKINNY PUPPY: Dig It (Courtesy of Capitol Records-EMI of Canada Ltd.) Vancouver, Canada's Skinny Puppy formed during the early 1980s from the remains of local synthipop heroes Images in Vogue. A harshly avant-garde unit whose best early work took elements of the industrial scene’s most telling pacesetters and ran them through a variety of distortion effects, Skinny Puppy have most accurately been described as “deeply disturbing, very discomforting and psychologically traumatic...as unforgiving as a collapsing building.”

4. SPAHN RANCH: Mind Riot Comprising New Yorkers Robb Morton, Matt Green and newcomer Athan Maroulis, Spahn Ranch offers “the aggro side of Front 242 mixed with the eclectic insanity of Foetus Inc.,” an inviting combination debuted on an eponymous 1992 EP released by Cleopatra Records. This track features vocals by Scott Franklin (Murder In Exile). Their debut album is in

the works.

5. THROBBING GRISTLE: Hot On The Heels of Love (Produced under license from Elektra Entertainment) The undisputed kings of an industrial scene which they both christened and directed, England's Gristle were formed in 1976, split in 1981, and still sound fresh a decade later. Frontman Genesis P. Orridge remains among the most provocative of performance artists. Currently working with Timothy Leary, he has recently been adopted as a figurehead

of the west coast rave scene.

6. KLUTE: Desert Storm (Courtesy ofZoth Ommog) Claus Larson, the German mastermind of both Klute and Leaetherstrip, remains among the most challenging artists currently working in the field of industrial/techno dance music. His work, like that of fellow countrymen Kraftwerk, owes little to rock's Anglo-American pleasure centers.

7. CHEM LAB: Codiene, Glue and You (Courtesy of Fifth Column Records) Having provided support on Nine Inch Nails’ first headlining US tour, Chem Lab spearhead the first wave of Industrial bands to be operating in the wake of the movement's early 90s' commercial breakthrough. Based in Washington, D.C. the trio debuted in 1990. Industrial Nation has described them as "NIN meets Skinny Puppy meets ‘Tvitch’ era Ministry.” High praise indeed!

8. REVOLTING COCKS: Cattle Grind (Courtesy of Luxa/Pan Productions, Inc.) Named for a street gang in Brussels, the Cocks have a floating membership which at various times has included Chris Connelly,Luke van Acker, and Richard 23, plus founder members A1 Jourgensen, Paul Barker and Bill Rieflin of Ministry. The most overtly industrial of that band's many side projects, Jourgensen refers to the band as a “lampshade and limbo-line party - put on a lampshade, do the limbo, go to a party and out comes a record...”.

9. BRIAN ENO: Third Uncle (Courtesy of EG Records Ltd. / Caroline Records, Inc.) The oldest cut on this album, and perhaps the most influential as well. Originally released on the ex-Roxy Music man’s “Taking Tiger Mountain By Strategy” album (the same disc A Certain Ratio took their name from, incidentally), “Third Uncle” is rock ’n’ ricochet, a frenetic liturgy through which Eno built the bridges which linked pop with brutal power long before anyone dreamed of Power Pop.

10. PREMATURE EJACULATION: Dead Horse Riddle The enigmatic Rozz Williams formed Premature Ejaculation following the demise of Goth scenemakers Christian Death in 1985. Both a musical and visual extravaganza, PE. remained on Williams’ curriculum even following the formation of his current band, Shadow Project, in 1990.

11. SISTER MACHINE GUN: Addiction (Courtesy of Wax Trax Records) Frontman Chris Randall had been circulating the N.Y. Club scene for a couple of years, but only began "Loading the Gun" while playing keyboards on the road with KMFDM.

DISC TWO

1. FRONT LINE ASSEMBLY: Mindphazer (Courtesy of Third Mind/Roadrunner Records) Formed by ex-Skinny Puppy man Leeb (he quit in 1986 in a dispute over “creative freedom”) and fellow Canadian synth player Rhys Fulber, Frontline Assembly was founded as an experiment in electronic dance music, fused with samples and sound bites. Recognized as one of the leaders in the industrial scene, they also do many projects such as Noise Unit and Intermix.

2. VOICE OF DESTRUCTION: Caught In The Act Sonic terrorists based in San Francisco, Voice of Destruction is the brainchild of Lewis Cypher and former Premonition vocalist Clawed. In 1992 the band debuted on Cleopatra Records with the aptly named album “Steamroller Tactics-For Fun & Profit.” V.O.D. are already threatening to become a major force on the industrial scene.

3. FOETUS: Butterfly Potion (Courtesy of Wax Trax Records) Australian J.G.Thirwell AKA Clint Ruin AKA a number of foetal variations exploded onto the London post-punk scene in the late 1970s, but swiftly relocated to New York. Part shaman, part charlatan, Foetus’ influence not only on the industrial scene, but also the more mainstream world (Marc Almond is a confirmed disciple) has been immense - as many of the others on this record will tell you! “Butterfly Potion,” a 1989 single, is making its album debut here.

4. KRAFTWERK: Metal On Metal (Courtesy of Capitol Records, Inc.) If any one song can be said to have set the industrial wheels rolling, it was this one. Each of the German band’s albums is more or less epochal; three of the best are also available from Cleopatra Records. “Metal On Metal” is from the second of that trilogy, 1977's “Trans-Europe Express,” and anybody who remembers the album will doubtless remember the reviews as well. “‘Metal on Metal’ is okay,” they wrote, “but really it's just men banging sheets of metal. WTat future is there in that?”

5. MINISTRY: All Day (Courtesy of Luxa/Pan Productions, Inc.) Ministry’s commercial breakthrough last year was at the same time among the most deserved and the most surprising of the last decade. Few bands have so successfully reinvented themselves as Ministry - in reality Cuban bom A1 Jourgensen and, since the band's third album, Seattle's Paul Barker - fewer still have pursued so relentlessly personal a course on their way to some great reward. “All Day,” from 1985, dates from the earliest stage of Ministry’s rehabilitation, following Jourgensen's dalliance with synth-pop earlier in the decade, but already many of the future components were in place.

6. NIK TURNER: Thoth Former Hawkwind co-founder Turner formed Sphynx in 1977, and for several years the band was a regular on Britain’s free concert circuit with a brand of pre-industrial trance music which was precisely 15 years ahead of its time (ask the Orb!). Their “Xitintoday” debut album, however, remains a lost classic, and in 1982 Turner chose to re-record it, for release later this year by Cleopatra Records. Guest musicians include Helios Creed, Tommy Grenas and Len Del Rio from Pressurehed.

7. KMFDM: Bargeld (radio mix) (Courtesy of Wax Trax Records) Stepping out from where the much-missed Belfegore left off, this multi-talented Hamburg trio (whose moniker has been translated as everything from Kill Mother Fucking Depeche Mode to Kein Mitleid Fur Die Mehrheit - no pity for the majority) place their roots in fields as disparate as Heavy Metal, thrash, and sundry dance routines. Recent work in particular is set within a jarring pop framework which, with a little more refinement, could see KMFDM become the scene's first true post-Ministry superstars.

8. PRESSUREHED: Paralysis Influenced by 70's avant-garde groups such as Can, Neu and Hawkwind, and later incarnations like Wire, The Fall and Chrome. Their debut album "Infadrone" was well recieved by critics in '92. A new album is in the works.

9. SLEEP CHAMBER: Beside Dance For over ten years John Zewizz has been the guiding light, the main man behind one of Bostons most engaging and visually stimulating groups. Routinely ignored by the press in favour of grunge rock and trendy pop, Sleep Chamber has nevertheless built a steady (and growing quickly) following in such diverse markets as Chicago, Texas, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Berlin, Bonn and London.

10. LAIBACH: Gubert Einer Nation (Produced under license from Elektra Entertainment) Slovenia’s Laibach have been working in an industrial framework since the band's inception in the early 1980s, although it was not until 1987 that they chose to demonstrate their convictions in a framework everybody would recognize. Queen's “One Vision” was the first, and the greatest, of several Laibach revisions (“Sympathy for the Devil” and the entire Beatles’ “Let It Be” album are the others).

11. LAB REPORT: Figure Q-42 {Courtesy of Invisible) Figure X-71 is their debut; in a phrase, a self-proclaimed seminal blend of psychoses. The band was signed in 1991 by Martin Atkins on his label Invisible. This band will appeal to those fans of the early industrial movement.
