Please help me to identify this batch of oldies.

[Rogue Keeper]

Ahoy Rivetheads!

I'd like to ask for help with identification of some older tracks.

Recently I have re-discovered my old MCs and among them one with some nice electro-industrial tracks, which I recorded from local (Central European) FM radio 10 years ago. I always felt they utterly rock, but unfortunately I don't remember the names of the artists anymore (though I'm sure the announcer has mentioned them). Now, as I bet there is a nice number of industrial music veterans among you, who remember production of industrial bands from late 90s and even from earlier times, I'd like to ask if you could try to identify these tracks for me, or at least the artists.
I hope it's not against forum guidelines to provide links to short (1.5-2.5 min.) excerpts from the tracks. That should be enough to ring bells in sensitive ears, I guess. The quality is understandably low, as I have copied the tracks from a tape into computer and encoded them at 96kbps to keep the files small, and the quality of FM recording wasn't overly good in the first place. Still, they should be easily recognizable for someone who's dedicated to these artists. If you know the name of the album/EP which they appear on, I would be extremely grateful.

So here we go :

SAMPLE TRACK 1 :  Uncompromisingly harsh, typical 1990s electro-industrial piece, dense, multi-layered sound with many wicked samples and effects and intimidating male vocal. Gosh, those vocal chords must hate it's owner. Who knows what it is?

SAMPLE TRACK 2 : Another, IMO even better and darker piece in similar destructive mood. Judging by the vocal and style, it could be the same artist as before, I don't know. This and the previous track would belong to the hardest e-i production I've ever heard, along with some experimental works of Trent Reznor and few others...

SAMPLE TRACK 3 : Monotonous, dark, but strangely uplifting track. Good vocal I guess.

SAMPLE TRACK 4 : We're drifting a bit to acid waters with this. I just love hard acid. I *suspect* it's either remixed Front Line Assembly, or FLA's remix of someone else - I vaguely remember the announcer mentioning FLA after this track, but memory is an unreliable thing and she could refer to something else.

SAMPLE TRACK 5 : This track is, in it's full length, a real acid orgasm for me - and no epic trancey cheesiness. It would sound perfectly in some neo-noir cyberpunk movie. Actually, it's probably not by a recognized electro-industrial artist, rather by somebody who used to produce techno/dance electronica back then. Possible remix?

That's about it for now. Any suggestions would help, even "Sounds like ... to me." Maybe I know the artists for years already, but I wasn't aware they have spawned such pearls... Oh and let me know if the files have reached download limit (10), I will re-up them. See ya later. =)

Kind of a pain in the ass to access the files.  Can you post up on youtube or someother site that doesn't artificially bottleneck "free" user access? 

[Rogue Keeper]

Well, I have put all the sample tracks into one ZIP pack, so if you prefer to DL them all at once, it's right here :

There's a slight tech problem with uploading on my side - it seems I can't upload files to file sharing servers, which use Flash interface for uploading and it seems that growing number of the sharing servers use Flash interface nowadays... (at this time I have access to the net only from the not-so-well-optimized  'puter at work). Bizarre.

But like I suggested, I can re-upload the track to RS, if you tell me that the file has reached download limit.

[Drewthetexan]

That was much better.  Unfortunately I struck out on all tracks, but I liked what I heard!

Id almost say that for the first 2 tracks someone remixed some stuff from Rob Zombie. But I highly doubt thats the case.

Other songs are  a mystery for me. Sorry.

I can help You with song 04 - it`s The Flood from Cryogenic studios Compilation I. Made by Bill Leeb`s project Synaesthesia. Look at www.mindphaser.com...

[Rogue Keeper]

Riiight, then I remember correctly it has something to do with FLA... I'm familiar with Synaesthesia albums, but this track doesn't appear on them. Thanks very much, frontik. =)

track 1 is by Numb 100% positive.  I don't know the name of the song but I do know it is NOT from the Blood Meridian album.  I think it is probably off of Language of Silence, otherwise it must be from a CD single/B-side cause it has their newer vocalist on it and he didn't join until the Blood Meridian album.

[swarmofcats]

Track 2 is also by Numb and it is called....   let me think of it a minute...  I can't think of it but this one might be from Blood Meridian.  If I happen to think of it maybe I can listen to the cds again and figure it out for you, this was one of my few favorite bands of the late 90s.

Edit:  I found #2 it's Immolate off of Language of Silence.

Track 3 is by Fektion Fekler another amazing band.  I think it might be off of Kling Klang Bedlam but don't quote me on that.  I know for a fact it is not on Angels of Analog (their greatest hits) album, but that is the only one I have with me to check at the moment.  Anyways, yeah they are amazing and if you like that you will love his other stuff, he's way underrated for what he's done.

[Rogue Keeper]

Excellent, yeah I know both of them, but I'm not extensively familiar with their older production. Well it's time for me to correct that.

swarmofcats, you rule! =D

hey, can you upload again the files please ? all the links are dead !! maybe I have some response for you ;-)

[Rogue Keeper]

Oops... well I removed the samples time ago. Anyway, only one sample was left unidentified.

But thanks very much for your readiness! =)
