Hes such a rare talent and a one humble too.

Love his music and ethos. One of the pioneers of dark and progressive music. Digging his new sounds along with other industralized acts like Nine Inch Nails, How to Destroy Angels, Cabaret Voltaire, Throbbing Gristle,

Coil, Front Line Assembly, Angel Spit, AllFlaws

it's extremely refreshing to see a great artist saying how he finds virtual analogue just as useable as analogue. strange how it's always the guys who have never really taken their music anywhere that whine about everything that isn't analogue...

WHAT ABOUT JOHN FOXX???

@christhesnaildriver i am a support worker and support someone with aspergers. its difficult as well because most people dont know what it is and you cant tell by looking at someone that they have it and so they can make assumptions. i hope it doesnt have too much of a bad impact on your life as anything like mental health and learning difficulties can make people very isolated.

these fuckin drug companies turn everything into a disease so they can sell drugs. now being SHY is a fucking disease... what the fuck?? i suppose they will have drugs for kids who dont want to eat their vegetables one day

@deaftron Gary (Like Myself) has Aspergers Syndrome (I believe he was diagnosed in 2001). Unfortunately, despite our attempts to avoid it, one of problems we suffer is that of appearing stand-offish to others in certain situations or with strangers. Thankfully though, people usually soon realise it's not deliberate and it becomes less of a problem as you get to know eachother better.

I really respect Gary a lot for his practical approach. It would be so easy for him to play into some kind of expected analogue king from back in the day, when synths were real synths and all. Instead its 'Im happy just recreate this sound on the Virus' or 'this drum track is on a DAT'. I myself got really into the sound of it all back then too but for Gary it seems like it was just a passing tool of the time that he grabbed hold of. Brilliant!
