I have Systems Planning Korporation. I thought it was their first LP. It's a far cry from this which sounds like early Cab V.. -Sys Plan Kor sounds more like TG. Havn't checked out the other vids yet.
Spk would have been an incredible dionysian spectacle back in '79. Their recordings hardly stand up today, in any dance sense, with their full "white noise" content. Other bands, who back in the day DID have the minimal dance sensibilities, fared a lot better. Today minimal production asthetics are absolutely all important, everything otherwise (from the past) has been forgotten. SPK; absolutely brilliant trailforgers.
@blacknganga What does early SPK have to do with dance? And SPK is not white noise. Whitehouse is white noise and they have much more in common with Masona and Merzbow than SPK have. SPK was about experimentation. They used outside influences when nobody else would think of such a thing. Perhaps most important, they never turned it into cheap exoticism. You know the way the white middle-class safely experience the foreign, like Asian culture through Jackie Chan and Africa through Paul Simon.
@grisflyt Well, what people dance to today is bass heavy, with the mid-range scooped out, innit? Ok, well SPK may well have been an "Avant garde post-punk band" but no-one plays that sort of music for fun anymore, do they now? No one collects ye olde industrial for anything more than a soundbite here and there. Why I say Dionysian, is because they SERVED THEIR ROLE, just like Gristle, The Stooges, Zappa, The Fugs and other absurdists but they are not collected like Bowie, Numan, Japan, etc.
It's German but what i've heard, badly translated.
But they weren't suppose to mean what they really mean. They're suppose to sound over the top forreign language to english speakers, and they sound....

Metal Field is an SPK track that has stood the test of time.

@Galakthoese I've always believed that a punk influence has always been important in most Industrial tracks.
