FIRST WAVE INDUSTRIAL MUSIC CRASH COURSE

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_music

THE ORIGINAL ,FIRST WAVE INDUSTRIAL MUSIC SCENE- ALL MUSIC ON HERE IS FROM 1975 THROUGH 1984- ALL FROM THE ORIGINAL SCENE . "DEATH MUSIC FROM THE DEATH FACTORY " , " INDUSTRIAL MUSIC FOR INDUSTRIAL PEOPLE" .

THIS SCENE IS NOTHING LIKE THE 2ND WAVE- BANDS SUCH AS FRONT 242, FRONTLINE ASSEMBLY ETC- EVEN THOUGH SOME OF THIER EARLY STUFF CAN HEAR SOME MINOR INFLUENCES- TOM ELLARD OF THE SEVERED HEADS SUMMED IT UP BEST ABOUT THE SECOND WAVE- HE SAID IT WAS MORE LIKE " CYBER PUNK MUSIC" NOT INDUSTRIAL. THAT WAS TO CLARIFY A BIT ABOUT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE FIRST WAVE AND SECOND . ONE SECOND WAVE BAND- THAT WAS CLOSEST TO FIRST WAVE WAS SKINNY PUPPY- BUT THEY DIFNITELY SPEARHEADED THE SECOND WAVE!

THERE ARE BAND TODAY THAT HAVE THE OLD SOUND- SUCH AS LUSTMORD ( EX SPK AND AIDED WITH THROBBING GRISTLES REMASTERS) , ATRAX MORGUE ,AND A WHOLE SUBCULTURE UNDERGROUND- AS IN WAY THE HELL UNDERGROUND.

THE ORIGINAL SCENE PRIMARILY WAS THROBBING GRISTLE (WHICH CAME OUT OF THE RUINS OF THE PERFORMANCE ART GROUP COUM TRANSMISSIONS AND THEN BECAME PSYCHIC TV, COIL AND CHRIS AND COSEY))  , SPK (WITH GRAEME REVELL OF MANY MANY SOUNDTRACKS FAME !!) , CABARET VOLTAIRE ( EARLY ON) ,NON (AKA BOYD RICE), Z'EV ,CLOCK DVA , SURVIVAL RESEARCH LABORITIES (SRL- PERFORMANCE GROUP MAINLY),NOCTURNAL EMMISSIONS ,WHITEHOUSE ,NURSE WITH WOUND ,LEATHER NUN ,DIE FORM  AND A LOT MORE- BUT I WILL FOCUS ON A FEW OF THESE.

BOYD RICE AKA NON WAS ALWAYS IN TROUBLE ABOUT
WHETHER HE WAS A NEONAZI - TO THIS DAY THAT
IS STILL A QUESTION A LOT OF FOLKS HAVE.

ALOT OF THE BANDS WERE VERY
CONTROVERSIAL - AND WERE NOT
AFRAID TO EMBRACE THAT TRAIT!
GOING AS FAR AS USING TOOLS,PYRO,
ANIMAL CARCASS , BODY FLUIDS, AUTOPSY FILMS ,FILMS OF LOBOTOMIES
AND EVEN OF SHOCK THERAPY.
