Depends on your definition of "RSW" and "industrial". If we're talking early RSW, it's not really that far fetched. Gary Asquith's voice is very harrowing back then.. but not in the stereotypical "I'm going to sound like a DEMON on DISTORTION. ROOOOOWWRR" effect that many known industrial/dance bands use. And those beats and sounds do get very very loud at times.
The most "industrial" thing about RSW is their album covers, especially of the early singles... which are amongst the best ever.That said, "Biting My Nails" pretty much nailed the whole "RSW = industrial" meme in the coffin, if there ever was one to begin with.Sampling a breakbeat from KC & The Sunshine Band = not industrial, haha.

Also, I don't think anyone should be that confused about people linking RSW to industrial after listening to "Murder Music", "Space Gladiator" and "Kray Twins".

That's because it IS unfinished and incoherent.. it's a compilation. but some of my favorite individual MBM tracks ever are on this compilation... "Kneel and Buzz" being one of them. "Cutman" is great, too.. and didn't that get nicked on a Chemical Brothers mix CD back in the day?

RSW "Blue Eyed Boy" (1989)Public Enemy "By The Time I Get To Arizona" (1991)
granted, the former only used it occasionally, whereas PE made it the consistent backdrop.

I'm not trying to argue against your points, Spencer.. I'm just giving you my side of what I (very loosely) define as industrial in this context. We're both "right". :)

is it this?
http://www.discogs.com/release/221980
Maybe it's a bootleg edit? I have a bootleg I got at Rock-N-Soul, a place that is mostly hip-hop and disco/house/club classics that has Ozone Breakdown on it.
The funniest thing I got I won on eBay, it was a 7" white label advertised as "Cooking Sex". Sure enough, it says Cooking Sex on it in handwriting, and was on Rhythm King, I'm wondering if they weren't worried about sending it radio stations as Cocaine Sex or something!
I want this:
http://www.discogs.com/release/413655
and wonder if its the same version that ended up on In Dub.

Unfucking real.
I also interveiwed Danny Briottet a few years later for Alternative Press (but it never ran) and told him about it and he laughed and laughed. I know for sure there is a Layo & Bushwacka remix of I THINK "The Phantom" that came out around then because it was on Danny's mix CD. Apparently Danny and Gary Asquith haven't spoken in years either... he was pretty spiteful toward him on the phone.
Anyway, they were universally brilliant. Yes, for sure three different eras, but all of them rock the house in different ways. What about the love for the self-titled comeback single with the Serge Gainbourg shit all up in it? The more I hear "Howyadoin" the more I think I never gave it enough credit on release. That said, I do own like 4 copies of it...

that's exactly what they were worried about. my 12" has that written on it too.

In the U.S., if RSW were known here then, you would have had to change that to "Cocaine Sects", because you know drug talk is OK in the U.S. but certainly not sex!

Todd, I used to have the CD-single w/ Prob a Rob 12 gauge but gave it to someone because, you know, i had the vinyl...
But let's definately talk mp3 trading, get it all together.
I always liked much of Howyoudoin, though I hated the title song. Disc 1 of my personal RSW 2 CD set contains Liquid Up, John Holmes, Positive ID, Blast "Em Out and Brixton. All GREAT pop songs. It was the remix album where I thought they made their first really bad move. It has moments, but while In Dub is just totally unique, Next Chapter of Dub just sounded like then contemporary trip-hop or whatever.
A highpoint of my life was sitting in a middle-eastern resteraunt and hearing the song that John Holmes samples.

I also have the Women Respond To Bass 12". there are four tracks on that total. And I have Space Gladiator Dub. But I think Dan has this on vinyl, but just hasn't digitized it yet.
I think the major project is to get all the RSW remixes of other bands onto one CD (or 2 if needed.)

Mr. Hutlock from above made me a RSW mix tape during college including the Depeche Mode remix, that's easy to download. I have the Liason Dangereuses remix on vinyl. I also have the track they sorta did for the Amorres Perros soundtrack. They did at least 2 Pop Will Eat Itself remixes, neither of which I have.
Looking at Discogs...I'd like to hear the Sabres mix of Brixton.
