Industrial
The Roots
Throbbing Gristle
The people that coined the term Industrial with the phrase "Industrial
music for industrial people." A 1970's band whose songs ranged from
disco hits to almost unlistenable noise. As much performace art as music,
this is a band that has inspired the Industrial scene the same way the
Sex Pistols inspired the punk scene. When they split up, members went
on to from three other popular and influential bands, Psychic TV, Coil,
and Chris & Cosey.
Enstruzende Nuebauten
The archetypical industrial band whose first list of instruments on their
first albums included power tools and pieces of metal.
Cabaret Voltaire
SPK
NON
Old Favorites
Skinny Puppy
Ministry
Coil
Psychic TV
Formed by Genisis P'Orridge and Peter Christopherson formerly of Throbbing
Gristle, this band has cult status. Especially since they actually did
have their own cult, Thee Temple ov Psychic Youth. Like the founders
previous band, this one hit the entire musical range from recordings
of odd noises to Rolling Stones covers, sometimes even scoring a hit
on the British pop charts. Said to have recorded everything they've ever
done, every show, every proctice session, every time band members had
sex, it's not surprising that they held the world record for most albums
released. This was exemplified by the series of 23 albums that they released
on the 23rd of each month for 23 months in a row.
