The Art of Noise - "Who´s afraid of..."

I can't believe that only one person mentioned The Art of Noise!!?? I didn't have an extensive collection of ANY electronica, but I had an LP of "In no sense? Non sense!"

Since I'm not that 'into' electronica, my other picks aren't really weighed against what are considered classics in the field, but merely reflect what I exposed myself to and therefore found influential:

Nine Inch Nails, Pretty Hate Machine
Ministry, Twitch
Garbage, self-titled? The pink one!

"We ended up nearly finishing a record a couple of times, but both times decided it wasn't really that fresh and there's no point of doing more of the same."

Will White suffered from exhaustion after their tour but that was some years ago. ...

Propellerheads - Decksanddrumsandrockandroll (where'd they go?)

Lots of good taste on these pages.

But hey, since FSOL pops up so often, I'd think Humanoid deserved a mention too. I mean, whoa, Stakker Humanoid is such a classic track!

And hell, how come hasn't Drexciya been mentioned a hundred of times!

Good call. Certainly influential for me.

And hell, how come hasn't Drexciya been mentioned a hundred of times!

Well, that's what happens when you live on the bottom of the ocean.

This talk of oceans reminds me: Nektar, and a tab in one of those wet wavy things.
