Industrial Strength Machine Music: Framework of Industrial Rock 1978-1995
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Alternative Press selected tracks for this compilation from gifted artists whose work, though enormously influential, has existed perennially outside the mainstream. However, established fans of industrial music will be tempted by the previously unreleased tracks by Revolting Cocks and Nine Inch Nails. The CD begins with lacerating sound sculptures by Throbbing Gristle and Non, plus a bit of Cabaret Voltaire's early electropunk. Einsturzende Neubauten and Test Department follow with brilliant sonic onslaughts created through the use of metal percussion and sound bites. Front 242's "Funkahdafi" and Skinny Puppy's "Dig It" are early explorations into the intriguing possibilities of harsh yet sophisticated computerized music. Meat Beat Manifesto and My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult provide examples of industrial music's uncompromising mangling of electronic dance music. KMFDM's "Godlike" and Ministry's landmark "Stigmata" are paradigms of industrial artists' use of heavy guitar in conjunction with synthetic sound effects. For listeners interested in the origins of industrial rock, this CD is a must-have.

great compilation of industrial noyz.......2005-10-02
Outstanding compilation.......2000-06-10
Every song is great on here. Throbbing Gristle's "Hamburger Lady" is truly disturbing; you won't be the same after hearing it. "Nag Nag Nag" from Cabaret Voltaire shows how ahead of their time the band truly was. Non, the mighty Coil, and Test Dept. contributions are superb. The monumental Einsturzende Neubauten contributes a great song as well, "Yu Gung (Futter Mein Ego)".
The best song might be "Anything (Viva!)" from Scraping Foetus Off The Wheel, one of JG Thirwell's many Foetus variants. Interesting lyrics and amazing music. Of course "Dig It" by the wildly influential Skinny Puppy is great. Front 242, Clock DVA, and Meat Beat Manifesto's contributions are more techno-sounding, but just as good as the others. The legendary Ministry contribute "Stigmata." KMFDM show the uniting of brutal guitars with industrial music on "Godlike - Doglike." My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult's satanic sonics and the Revolting Cocks dirty industrial round out the set, which ends with an incendiary live performance of "Gave Up" by nine inch nails.
In short, ISMM is a great compilation that I think everyone should go pick up.
