[whoamireally73]

[leonko48]

[semitelfeletem]

does anyone else find it odd he's wearing a Crass shirt?!

Happy Halloween 2008 to all

[semitelfeletem]

can't believe someone knows of this band...silly I know, but there was never more than one copy of their album and I always bought it

[niswel]

you must be joking! They are big in the electro/gothic underground of Germany and Sweden! I have a lot of their stuff and love it!

[rofe70]

you're wrong. they were very big in the european dark wave scene back in the 80ies. along with nitzer ebb, front 242, joy divsion, alien sex fiend etc.

this track seems to have a lot influence from the early human league ;-)

[iliadav]

Along with Joy Division??? Are you serious? Joy Division didn't already exist in 80's :)

[fenni70]

Joy Division started in 1977 and ended up with the suicide of Ian Curtis 1980. Their best album "Unknown Pleasure" dates back to the beginning of the band. They had big influence on Dark Wave bands in the 80ies.

You might have mistaken it with *New Order", the successor of the remaining band mates of Joy Division.

[zwarteraaf]

@fenni70 if you really listened a lot to joy division, you have to conclude that closer is a stronger album as a whole! unknown pleasure is more a collection of songs, than an album

[iliadav]

This band is very well known in Industrial community because D.R. Goettel (late Skinny Puppy keyboardist) played with them in the beginning. Images in Vogue is also known because Key was a drummer there.

[daisaigai7]

Do you think that Skinny Puppy is an Industrial group? Typical for North America and their ignorant Rivetheads. :D

They were a New Wave spin-off with elements of Post-Industrial music. John Foxx meets Portion Control. That's all. Maybe "Electro-Industrial" is a better term for Skinny Puppy's late-80s period, but they were never ever a pure Industrial group.

[iliadav]

Here we go again...

No I DON'T think SP is industrial, I know that TG, SPK and CV are industrial, I know about Industrial records label, I even have TG, CV and EN in my collection.

It just happens that industrial community (people who like TG and so forth) also like SP. And to be completely accurate SP has many songs in their catalog which may be classified as Industrial, they are known though for their danceable output more

[meditari]

nice..

[mglacken0410]

Every once in a while it is nice to go back to the 'good ol' days'. I am having flashbacks to MTV's 120 Minutes programs.

Thanks for the post!

[tfcdomprice]

This is wierd... It's more like a poetry reading than anything else.

[calyx93]

Actually, upon further inspection and pausing, the drum machine is part of the Korg family as well. It's the KPR-77 - he's playing that bizarre hanclap it has. Sounds like no other machine out there - a bit like a synthetic box of matches or dried beans dropped onto a hard surface.

I'm fairly certain they used the more professional-sounding Oberheim gear on the studio recording and onwards.

Cool bit of synthpop - thanks to the poster :)

[AnUnseenRuler]

IIRC the Oberheim DX would have been Psyche's producer's property (Richard Blohm). Early on it was the Boss Dr-110. From Unvieling the Secret onward Psyche used the TR-707.

[redsquaredigital]

He's actually holding an Oberheim DX. Stephen Huss of Psyche was not a Roland fan and he primarily used Korg ( Monopoly, Poly 800 MKII) and Oberheim (DMX, OBX, OB8, DX). Psyche rocks!

[DigitalVirus]

is that an 808 he has holding in his hand? thats hilarious

[pinflyers]

Excellent early Psyche chip. Can't wait to see the "Imaginary Life DVD" version. Thanks for adding this little piece of history. Joey.
