- Before I let you begin, I need to make a request. I feel like the FAQ is
- getting woefully out of date. If you have any threads you are sick of
- seeing, or some info you think should be included, please tell me.
-
- I'd really like to see an extension on the history of Industrial Music.
-
- Future plans should also include a listing of local indepenent Industrial
- artists.
-
- We especially need more info on record labels and mailorder sources.
-
- If you know any please send their name, label, and an address so I can
- start compiling them.
-
- MORE IMPORTANT NEWS! The address to send FAQ related info has changed to
- rmi-faq@efn.org. This to facilitate the addition of one more editor, who
- will be putting the FAQ into HTML.
-
- You should also notice that, amongst many other excellent suggestions, it was
- mentioned that the differences in versions will be put at the first of each
- posting.

-
- You are currently reading the "offical" r.m.i. FAQ. Other regular postings
- include:
-
- Jester's Net Industrial/EBM/Cyber Culture Band list, available from
- jester@sage.cc.purdue.edu. The list covers those bands on the net, and
- includes reviews of their various work. The list is posted monthly.
-
- The Top Sample Sources List is a list of the most popular movies, tv-series,
- presidents and other sample sources. The popularity is based on how frequently
- spoken lines from these sources have been sampled and used in some sort of
- musical context. The list has been compiled by Peter Cigehn, mainly by the help
- of and contributions from the readers of r.m.i. Currently the list consists
- of hundreds of sources and nearly 1000 different samples! The latest version of
- the list can be obtained directly from Peter Cigehn by e-mail,
- Peter.Cigehn@um.erisoft.se. Although the prefered way to obtain a copy is by
- reading r.m.i. where the list is posted about once a month.

- [1] INTRO
-
- "In the gap caused by the failure of punk rock's apocalyptic rhetoric,
- [the term] 'industrial' seemed like a good idea."--Jon Savage, London 1983
-
- Experimental. Aggro. Techno. Cutups. Alternative. Noise. Ambient. Musique
- Concrete. Sound Collages. Performance Art. Difficult. Improv. Industrial?
- So many names and so many labels. It gets confusing when from all around
- us, publications continue to spew out more complex and different names in
- an attempt to pinpoint a source, while at the same time converging on one
- obvious thought: industrial. To demonstrate this idea, we could even trace
- these origins of industrial back to dadaism if we wanted to. This FAQ file
- is less an attempt to force people into their place and more to widen the
- flow of information. Sharing the precious information allows us to
- experience more in our learning than by strange militaristic actions.
-
-
- ..........................................................................
- [2] HISTORY
-
- It is generally accepted that the term "industrial music" was coined in
- 1976 when members of Throbbing Gristle formed Industrial Records. It was
- to be a vehicle to explore a new form of expression through analysis,
- presentation and aural stimulation. All of the individuals involved used
- different means to achieve their goals, but the ideas they shared were
- on common ground. Examples of early people on the industrial label
- include Monte Cazzazza, Clock DVA, Cabaret Voltaire, Throbbing Gristle,
- Leather Nun, and William S. Burroughs. Although critics felt they were
- too deviant, their brand of confrontation signaled a desire for a change
- in the political and social system currently in place. However bleak and
- distressing, their music was merely a reflection of the society that
- surrounded them. But what's really important is that they cultivated
- ideas on topics ranging from serial killing to sex and censorship as well
- as countless others which are not encouraged in genteel discussions. This
- was the first strike against the information war launched by the
- propaganda leaders and it positioned them as more than just a musical
- movement, but an alternative culture. To paraphrase, these essential
- ideas are the makeup for the movement:
-
- ORGANIZATIONAL AUTONOMY. A conscious choice to record independently. To
- preserve the intention of music and to take it away from the tainted
- and greedy major record companies who enjoyed success at others expense.
-
- ACCESS TO INFORMATION. With the perception of control techniques leaving
- any physical boundaries and moving into the realm of the mind and the mouth,
- it was of vital importance to discuss and be aware at all times.
-
- USE OF SYNTHESIZERS AND ANTI-MUSIC. Using found materials and
- unconventional means of composition industrial music was more antagonistic
- to its intended audience, than being music true itself. It was
- "sounds without content".
-
- EXTRA-MUSICAL ELEMENTS. Because television has become a more powerful
- agent of control than any pop music song, the use of films and video
- arrangements often accompanied these aural counter attacks.
-
- SHOCK TACTICS. The final blow in the scheme for control has to be the use
- of hitting home what you have to say, making sure that it gets noticed.
- By far, this last technique is what is most often used by modern day
- "industrialists" and most probably the connecting puzzle piece that gave
- them such a distinction at all. Unfortunately, we've all witnessed death
- and war so often in this day and age, that we're far too jaded to care,
- rendering such an attempt almost useless.
-
- Does this mean that industrial is now dead? Perhaps. But it cannot prevent
- the presence of their past actions from being muted or lost. In the early
- to late 80's a number of other groups began to interpret some of the audio
- ideas to formulate their own territorial grounding. Mixing the use of new
- technology, imaginative found (or homemade) materials, and the incorporation
- of percussion and rhythm helped guide it into the new decade. Examples of
- some of these bands would include: Non, SPK, Einstuerzende Neubauten,
- Test Department, Laibach, Rhythm and Noise, Ono, and Trial.
-
- By the end of the 80's, "industrial music" had more than just changed, it
- had more or less, continued to progress and evolve alongside its society.
- These days, it has often come to be known as electronic instrumentation used
- to create a form of dance beats blended with harsh noises and sound bites
- such as Skinny Puppy, Revolting Cocks, Ministry, Front 242 and Front Line
- Assembly. Today, there are musicians who create industrial music from both
- sides of the fence; and the list is ever growing.
-
- The fascination with noise and machinery which is so much a part of what
- one tends to think of as "classic" Industrial music had historic precedents
- as far back as the 20s, with the "Futurist" and "Machine Music" schools
- in both Italy and France. Other important historical figures include
- Edgard Varese, whose "Ionisation" (1930) was the first piece of Western
- music for percussion instruments alone and who produced an important tape
- piece called "Poeme Electronique" in 1958; the "Musique Concrete" works of
- Pierre Schaffer and others (tape pieces made exclusively from electronically
- altering recordings of natural sounds like water drops, glass breaking,
- etc.); and John Cage, whose "First Construction in Metal" (for metallic
- percussion) and "Imaginary Landscape No. 4" (for 12 radios) were landmarks
- in American music.

- [5] IMPORTANT FACTS
-
- -> The ADRV in Crash Worship's name stands for "Adoracion de Rotura
- Violenta," which more or less means "Crash Worship" in Spanish.
-
- -> No member of Front 242 is a member of Bigod 20. Jean-Luc DeMeyer, the
- lead singer of Front 242, was a guest on Bigod 20's song 'The Bog,' and he
- sang it and wrote the lyrics. Aside from the similarities in the two bands'
- music, this is the only direct connection between the two bands. (And also
- the fact that they are five-letter words followed by numbers.)
-
- -> There is some confusion over what is at the end of Front 242's album
- TYRANNY FOR YOU. According to Transmission 242 originally,the songs were
- called simply 'Bonus Track I' and 'Bonus Track II.' However, upon further
- prodding, they replied that the pieces do have titles. The first one is
- called 'Hard Rock.' The second one, according to the letter received, is
- called 'Trigger 3.' However, it is believed that this is a misprint, and
- instead it should be called 'Trigger 1,' because the band had released
- a (longer) song also called 'Trigger 3' on one of their TRAGEDY remix EPs.
-
- -> The footage for video to 'Mindphaser' by Front Line Assembly was taken
- from the Japanese movie 'Gunhed.' Gunhed stands for 'un UNit Heavy
- Elimination Device'. The original release was in Japan in July 1989. The US
- version followed in 1991.
-
- -> Laibach's politics does not take sides in anything. Laibach is part of a
- collective of artists called NSK or Neue Slowenische Kunst. Upon entrance
- you are supposed to get rid of your political views. Laibach are merely
- 'by-standers' and commentators in our world of chaos. The most important
- point though is that totalitarianism and oppression are not exclusive to
- facism but also to: communism, christianity and capitalistic consumerism.
-
- Since the entire NSK bases its work on the retro principle, it means that the
- facist imagery is real (taken from actual Nazi art), the music is also based
- on other music originally not composed by Laibach. The most clear cut
- examples are: Beatles, Queen, Opus, and the glorified Macbeth is nothing more
- than a re-make of some classical stuff.
-
- What makes Laibach very unique though, is the overall designs of their work.
- They ususally manage to collage one idea with its opposite. Some of the
- artwork included on their disks was originally done by anti-Nazi activists;
- however, its out-of-context use leads one to associate it with Nazis. Laibach
- stresses the idea that one can't be sure of the real meaning of symbolry,
- that no one knows all of the history.
-
- -> The proper spelling for the band Negativland is without the 'e'. Their
- name was lifted from the Neu album BLACK FOREST GATEAU. On that album one
- can
- find tracks named "Negativland" and "Seeland." The first one is obviously the
- band name, and the second is the name of the band's record label (before they
- got on to SST, of course). Negativland means "negative country" or "country
- of negativity" in German and Seeland means "country of the sea."
-
- -> It is important to note that Nine Inch Nails is only one person,
- Trent Reznor from Cleveland (he does tour with a band but they don't
- appear on the album).
-
- -> The correct definition of Einstuerzende Neubauten is "collapsing new
- buildings" where "collapsing" is an adjective, not a verb. examples:
-
- einstuerzen - v., to collapse
- einstuerzende - adj., collapsing, in a state of collapse
-
- -> According to the radio-promo release of 'Interim' the name is pronounced:
- INE-SHTUR-ZEN-DEH NOY-BOUT-TEN
-
- -> "Neubauten" generally refers to buildings built in a particular style,
- rather than to *any* recently constructed buildings. The style in
- question is the impersonal concrete-box modernist style. Most housing
- projects (especially the huge towers built in the 60's) are perfect
- examples of Neubauten.
-
- -> Einstuerzende Neubauten chose their name when the Berlin 'Kongresshalle'
- collapsed around 1980. The building is located close to the Reichstag
- and was a gift of the US allies to the city of Berlin. The Kongresshalle
- is shaped a bit like an oister, was used for all kinds of exhibitions
- and meetings and finally collapsed due to its cheap 60's concrete/metal
- construction. A journalist died, a few more were injured and several cars
- were smashed. After a rather long public discussion the Berlin government
- decided to rebuild the Kongresshalle since it was a symbol for the
- friendship between Germany and the US.
-
- -> Additionally, to be strictly correct on a Western keyboard, it should be
- Einstuerzende (the proper way to indicate an umlaut over the 'u' is to just
- write it as 'ue').
-
- -> Alain Jourgensen (of Ministry fame) is not and never was a member of
- Pigface.
-
- -> "Sozialistische Patienten Klinik" or SPK named themselves after a
- group of mental patients who formed an anarchist collective (inspired by
- the Baader-Meinhoff Gang) and then blew themselves up trying to make
- explosives. Their name changed on every release to things such as
- standing for "Systems Planning Korporation", "Surgical Penis Klinik",
- and "SePpuKu."
-
- -> Concerning folks in sKINNY pUPPY: Nivek Ogre's real name is "Kevin
- Ogilvie". He grew up in Calgary. David Ogilvie is no relation to Ogre. The
- same last names are a coincidence. He moved to Vancouver from Montreal in the
- very early 80's. David Ogilvie's nickname is "Rave" and has been for a very
- long time. Rave's wife (Rosie) is credited as "Mowse" on the old CLEANSE,
- FOLD & MANIPULATE track 'Tear or Beat'. All of the above (and the other
- members of the Vancouver cadre) are very nickname-happy. cEVIN and Dwayne
- both have nicknames as well. Other people outside the camp get branded with
- nicknames if they're around Rave or Ogre too long.
-
- -> Just because sometimes "Rave" is listed and sometimes the more formal
- "David Ogilvie" is listed doesn't mean they aren't the same person. There are
- credits that say "Ogre" just as there are credits that say "K. Ogilvie".
-
- -> "Green guy" is a context-sensitive descriptor. It can mean a particularly
- potent form of Pot, or the person who is the delivery boy for said Pot. it
- is also used as in the credits for some pUPPY albums.
-
- -> Everyone thinks that BACK AND FORTH exists in 50 copies. After all, it
- does say words to that effect on it, right? This is not the case. There's
- only *35* real copies. cEVIN made all of them himself. He "pooped out"
- after those 35, so #36-#50 DON'T EXIST. There's more. Of those 35 copies,
- there's "Mark I" and "Mark II". The first 10 (or was it 15?) were hand-
- dubbed by cEVIN from the four-track master. Those are the "good" ones. The
- remainder were dup'ed on a high-speed double-cassette deck, and are thus
- deemed (by cEVIN) to be of "lower quality".
-
- -> BACK AND FORTH has been re-issued on CD. it is the first part along with
- other "rarities" and unreleased material as part of a "10 year Skinny Puppy
- retrospective CD" that is in the works. The BAD news is that it (B&F) is
- *re-mixed* and not just re-issued :-( It is being re-done by "Hi-Watt"
- Marshall, the guy who engineered the last Hilt album. (Rave Ogilvie is livid
- over this.) there are two flavors of the re-issued Back and Forth CD:
- the regular limited edition release and the "ultra" limited edition
- release that comes packaged in a steel box with a numbered and signed
- photo.
-
- -> the recording of sKINNY pUPPY's AIN'T IT DEAD YET was mastered as one
- long track because it's intended to be listened to from start to finish, like
- watching a concert. In order to get the whole experience, you have to listen
- to the whole thing.
-
- -> For LAST RIGHTS, "song 4 on side 2" of the cassette is the same thing as
- "song 10 on the CD" which is the same thing as "Left Handshake", the track
- that samples Timothy Leary from "Tune in, turn on, drop out" which is the
- same track that isn't there because the copyright holders on said Timothy
- Leary quoted speech rescinded permission for the band to use the samples.
- It may emerge as a one-sided 7", to be given away to people at their
- upcoming tour shows if you buy some tour merchandise; or it may suddenly
- appear out of (K)nowhere courtesy of some annoited bootleggers. It has also
- been reported that Leary is working to get the rights to his speech back so SP
- can use it.
-
- -> Re: Tear Garden's album, TIRED EYES SLOWLY BURNING, the credits in
- vinyl copies for the song "You and Me and Rainbows" clearly state:
-
- Edward Ka-Spel: Voice, keyboards, tapes
- cEVIN Key: Keyboards, rhythm box, guitar, radio, tapes, voice
- D. Rudolph Goettel: Keyboards
- Lee Salford: Drums
- N. Ogre: Voice
- Lisa: Lady voice
- Rave: Guitar, tapes
-
- Note that "Lee Salford" was the drummer for Section 25 at one time, and
- "Lisa" is a woman who I believe was Cevin's girlfriend at the time.
-
- -> 1000 Homo DJs work was originally done as an Al Jourgensen solo project
- concurrent with the LAND OF RAPE AND HONEY work. The vinyl EP of APATHY was
- released about six months post LORAH. When Al decided that Trent Reznor
- should do the vocals for 'Supernaut', Steve Gotlieb (president of TVT), who
- was already unhappy with Trent because of his legal filings against him,
- told Wax Trax that any productions using Trent Reznor's voice is in
- violation of Trent's contract with TVT. So the CD5 was released with the
- original Jourgenson vocals. the CD5 itself was released containing the two
- new songs, 'Supernaut' and 'Hey Asshole' as well as what was on the APATHY
- EP, 'Apathy' and 'Better Ways'.
-
- -> KMFDM stands for Kein Mitleid fuer die Mehrheit which in English
- means "No pity For The Majority." It has been argued that the name
- really means nothing because the liner notes for their album, WHAT DO
- YOU KNOW, DEUTSCHLAND (WaxTrax! Records) have it listed as meaning:
-
- "Kein Mehrheit fur die Mitleid"
-
- however, the proper use of the prhase would be:
-
- "Kein Mitleid fuer die Mehrheit"
-
- (mit=with,leid=pain -> Pity; Mehr=more,heit=-ness -> Majority)
-
- which also uses the genders correctly.
-
- -> other uses such as "Kill Mother Fucking Depeche Mode", "Krispy Mutant
- Fish Dealing Mescaline" or even "Kyle Minogue Fans Don't Masterbate" is
- just a joke.
-
- -> Survival Research Labs now has an answering machine system which you can
- get info from. Unfortunately, the current messages do not give any dates for
- performances. It does however have a menu which allows you to get info on
- past shows, legal problems, being an SRL volunteer, and current machines
- working or being developed. Call: 1 + 415 641-8065
-
- They also have an FTP site, but I lost the address. If someone
- could forward it, I'd appreciate it.
