I guess it must be this genre of music. 
But like I have mentioned in this sight in various locations.  The covers of industrial music are so much more than on your average top 10,000 stuff.  I remember when we would get a new record and while listening to it we would examine every square centimeter of the cover and the record sleeve.  They were just to cool for words then and what this sight is showing me now.  Maybe I have a biased opinion because I love this music so much.  But the majority of these covers now;  Like before.  They are still to cool for words.
Thanks to Digital Gunfire for showing them to me.  And more importantly.  Thanks to you fabulous musicians/artists for making this possible for Shirow to do the magic he does with your work. 
Hey Shirow.   Thanks to your genius in you for putting in the modify option for these various blogs of thought.  For starters, it is just such a privalege to be able to write down thoughts on this great genre of music.  What ever they may be.  Yet as a person with attempts to be human with the will to give expression on what is good and visa versa.  After making some sort of articulate contribution for those who will read with genuine interest.   Of course I like to go back and read what literal contribution I made knowing full well that I will want to make some sort of change whether it be a comma or a whole paragraph.  So thanks again Shirow as I did make a small gramerical change in the original post and then of course had to add this paragraph to show appreciation for your good insight to how vulnerable the human mind is with the need to make such changes on the day of writing or a century later. 
Thank you Shirow.  Hunter J7

Those are without doubt the words from a wise observer of the human culture who have ears to music on the edge of alternative society.  The edge of the world.  Kind of like the way my world is on edge.  Thanks for the encouragement.  They do help to shore up my grip on this tiny, small part of the planet I am holding on to. 
Sorry about that type error on your name there.  I sure am pleased about the modify option in this section.  It is tough being human sometimes.  My email address is posted on my profile as you know and your suggestion is very plausible.  Send me the contact and I will respond.
Good Day mate,  cheers...  hunterj7..

I guess I was more interested in hastening the evolution of the human species apposed to waiting for mechanical/biological replicants.  
For example.  Look at the Nexus 6 replicants.  They were quick, strong and intelectually very bright.  But at the end of the day.  They were still created by the low bar level of human evolution and were thus made with a life span knife switch.  It just leaves me with a little more lost faith in human evolution.

No wonder I have been making such rediculous errors.  I have been human all my damn life.  Is there not any way around this???????????
141  General / General Discussion / Re: Best DG Suprise on: March 15, 2011, 08:07:54 am
Oh, and in response to your actual question:

Mono Chrome (love the fem vocals, top 20 in albums)
Ęsthetic Perfection (forever indebted for AVE is now in my top ten in albums)
Emergence (Creeping Hours top 20 in songs)
Faderhead (FH1 top 20 in albums)
Interlace (early days of DG and Imago still remains one of my favs)
Massiv In Mensch (heard Simsalabim on here and had to have it. i know there has been a lot of hate on MIM and the rest of their stuff is OK, but Supermassive Gravity from the Electronic Saviors comp is 'holy shit' -good!
Psyclon Nine (INRI hooked me from the first time i heard them on DG years ago. i don't care who says   what about the sound, but i damn love the sound and i damn love the message)
Ayria
Modulate (i like it hard and dirty=)
Lost Signal
Flesh Field
Grendel
God Module
Agonoize
Reaper
Heimataerde
SEIZE (top 20)
The Retrosic (Desperate Youth top 20 running songs)
Interface

This is only artists i have bought from only hearing on DG over the years. Of course, not my complete playground, but as far as DG-inspired buys go, i am 100% satisfied and a gigantic tip'o'my hat to Shirow for providing our ears with the grounds to so blissfully play upon =)

Hey faelaenx.
What you wrote here I am sorry to say did please me very much despite the fact that today or any other day will not be mine.  I have recently entered into my second coming of industrial music being an old kid I am.  So far I have become very attached to Ayria, Grendel, SEIZE, Faderhead, Lost Signal, God Module, and of coarse Reaper.  Damn good music all this and the many others you have not mentioned yet I will be keeping my ears open for the artists on the list you provided that I am not familiar with as of yet.  Like I first became fascinated with industrial music back in the 1980's.  I guess partly because my life is very industrial.  And the music was just to differently cool which is what got me tuned into music in the first place as the stuff on radios did not do much for me back then.  Bottom line.  I had to get turned away from the scene back then because of various reasons mostly concerning work.  But now my life is still vary industrial and Digital Gunfire has opened the door for this new generation of industrial music for me.  And with the likes of you in here.  You are all helping me to find my own way again.  
Cheers mate.   Hunter J7

Not only is the translatinon worth reading every word.  But just the fact that you did it is the cool essence of this unique counsel of individuals.  This genre of music and the subjects who are interested in it.  One of the reasons why we are hear, here, hear...........

All relays are back up!
Cool,  right on and thanks again
145  General / Technical Support / Re: Anyone else having this problem? on: March 09, 2011, 03:28:51 pm
Am I to presume this problem is the one I had yesterday when the DG page would not come up for me. 
Was out in the woods for the weekend and after work yesterday went to tune in and could not connect all night.  Over and over again was check the spelling.   I was worried I had banished myself from this digital theater by doing or saying something not so clever. 
Must say that what a sense of relief when my usual signal came in right on cue today. 
Thanks DG.  Its good to be back in the signal loop and back at home to catch it. 
Cheers ...........
146  General / General Discussion / Re: are there only three bands on DG? on: March 01, 2011, 12:52:17 pm
am listening to Nachtmahr "War On The Dancefloor" and it sooooooo sounds like any OTHER song by God Module
for a second i though there's a labelling mistake happening
)=How about War Dance by Killing Joke.
right ... the other remaining stuff sounds like Hoccico "aka" Psyclon Nine

I guess the secret's out... there's actually only 3 bands in "the scene", they just photoshop
pictures and get people to write fake concert reviews (easy, since noone goes to the concerts anyways)... it's all a plot to get people to support them as "struggling artists that don't earn any money", while if you put it all together, they're actually filthy rich...

So, does that mean you support spicing the channel up with some Throbbing Gristle, Einsturzende Neubauten, Klinik and so on? - that way there will be at least 5 bands on DG... and if we add the whole Tympanik catalogue as well, it would be 6 :)


My last post did not go through cause I am an idiot...  Maybe idiot savant I'm not sure.  But what a topic.  I've never heard War on the Dance floor but am looking forward to it.  Yet reading the title immediately reminded me of War Dance by Killing Joke.  Some of that earlier stuff by Neubauten and Gristle was pretty rough.  But so was the gear they had to work with.  I did see Neubauten at expo 86 and it was fukin tough.  Some of that older shit is pretty damn intensly good.  Not all of it but some is timeless. All I know is that this second coming to industrial music for me is pretty damn cool.  And this sure is a big difference to waiting for a buddy to come by with a few new albums to check out prefferably import stuff.  More on this topic later.  I gotta go hang some North West First Nations Art.  Some of that art almost reminds me of the album cover for War Dance.

148  General / Advertising / Re: Old School Electrology Volume I - 4-CD Box-Set on: February 23, 2011, 02:42:49 pm
Hey Katzenjammer.  
From what I have read from your posts.  I feel quite sure in understanding that you are a well trained and seasoned vetran of this genre of music.   I have been away from the heart of creativity for well over a decade or 2.  Yet what I have learned since becoming connected to DG.   The genre of industrial music has progressed and evolved to so much more than I could have ever imagined.  From the early days having built sets for Skinny Puppy and  Front Line Assembly.   Making it possible for them to do their first performances and doing a tour with Puppy in 86 accross Canada, around Europe, and then accross the U.S. of A.  Special effects in very primative fashion.  I made the sets and  of some props back then while being aware of what was happening on and in the scene .  
An awsomely creative and colourfull lifestyle for few years but then I had to leave it and go back to work for the other side of life.  The real industrial type of work both under the water or on the surface in whatever hazardeous environment being emposed and then I had to relocate my world accross Canada from Vancouver to Newfoundland following the correct heartfelt obligation.  A huge effort over many years of living and working on both sides of the continent.  But I still have my vynil from back then.  And at the University radio in St. John's.  They have already given the green light for me to do an industrial set.  The lady was happy that she came accross somebody who knew who Cabaret Voltare is.  But then there is all that other gear from Severed Heads to Portion Control.  And now after learning about so much of what is happening now since I got connected to Digital Gunfire.  I got to put in the new generation with all else inbetween.  The door to the whole dimmension of the new age of industrial has just been thrown open for me.   Thats so damn cool.  I got to get my stuff on vynil transfered over to MPs or what ever digital signal acceptable for the station.  They dont have turntables anymore.   I was good with analog tapes and stuff but now I have to get digitized.  
Sorry about the blabber and enough about that shite.  
I sure am interested in the Old School Electrology Volume 1.  It will work so well together.  Like all 4 sides of the Warsaw Concert by Tangerine Dream 1983.  An amazing piece done before the wall coming down.  Out doors in the middle of winter yet free for the people who did not get that much back then.  And now to have learned so much of how the genre has evolved and continued thanks to DG and people like yourself.  
I was finally able to buy a house here and have been working at getting the gear together for myself to go back to the radio station and introduce a genre of music to the people of St. John's.   I sure do want this set, there for,   what do I have to do to get it?     Ahh, never  mind.  I just read about the electroaggressionrecords.  Will be going there next.  Thank you for your time and patience Katzenjammer.  Double Cheers mate.  
Hunter J7.
149  General / Name That Song! / Re: Song help: Fill me with drugs, see if i float on: February 14, 2011, 10:01:50 am
What a great sight option for enquiries.  In my early days of being reborn to Industrial.  I dont have a clue about the artist or the song to this enquiry;  Yet I will stay on watch for the artist.  The phrase itself is what caught my interest. 
When it happened to me.  I was just unable to discern what it was that was happening to me.  Was I floating up to some feild of divinity.  Or plunging down to the screaming gates of hell.  All I know is that when I came back to planet Earth.  I was left somewhere in between where I still remain in life untill I die.  I wonder if there is a sideways motion to be chosen from either up or down.  Maybe.   A ghost of ash in the wind.   Sort of like the snow ghosts I have been seeing in this recent winter storm that will continue to May.  The snow ghosts are having their time for life right now...............Have fun.............
150  General / Song Requests/Complaints / Re: Download all songs from 'The Enders' on: February 11, 2011, 04:18:08 pm
Thanks for all the kind words guys! What do you want to know? I am one of the members of The Enders. The band was formed by me and Fredrik. The Enders no longer exist, never released anything officially and we gave all music away for free online. We now have a band called Titans.

Sorry to say most of the old songs are lost, there were more songs but these were lost in a harddrive crash. These are the only ones that were saved unfortunately. There might be a few more songs around, since we gave away discs with our music to friends. So there might be someone out there with more songs collecting dust on an old scratched CDR somewhere. Hehe
You sound like a true artist Katzenjammer.  What you just said here is so morally on the highest ground there is.  To share your works of art with  those who want to appreciate it.  I hope one day to be able to hear what you have created with the Enders.  Yet in the mean time I will be pursuing what comes from the Titans as I am discovering this new generation of Industrial music.  So glad to have my old vynils yet since discovering what is happening now.  It is like the second coming of Industrial for me.  
Cheers mate, Cheers.    Hunter J7......................................................................................
