new album alert : tohuvabohu dropped through the letter box on saturday. had no idea the band were still going. more excellent Art Brut cover art, though the black leathered up band photos inside are so not necessary.
― mark e, Tuesday, 11 September 2007 14:04 (sixteen years ago) link
why do i want to hear their new album? they cover "being boiled". but that's not why. i can't believe this is their 16th studio album. are dan and ned the only people who own all of them?

― scott seward, Wednesday, 4 February 2009 01:22 (fifteen years ago) link
I own the first one! There's a genuinely awesome half-slayin' half-hilarious 8-minute DIY industrial THING on there called "Me I Funk". And I like the weird ambient-industrial closer. Some other stuff ain't bad either.
― america is the only _______ that _______ (country matters), Wednesday, 4 February 2009 01:27 (fifteen years ago) link
wow i still own a lot of this. "Don't Blow Your Top" is still the best of the bunch, things start to drop quick right after "Money" and im out of the game by "Xtort."

Probably my favorite Wax Trax band. Seemed funny (though maybe that just means they were German), and probably had a more fleshed-out-sounding sound than anybody else on the label -- real good dub-metal quotient. Put Naive in my Pazz & Jop Top 10 in 1990; still have their mid/late '90s best-ofs Retro and Agogo on my CD shelf.
― xhuxk, Wednesday, 4 February 2009 02:49 (fifteen years ago) link
ditto.. i remember thinking the guitar riff to "power" being just crazy awesome, but the whole track sounds so aaaaagggghh weak and cheesy now..
thread is making me want to revisit chemlab's "east side militia", for some reason...
― winstonian (winston), Wednesday, 4 February 2009 02:53 (fifteen years ago) link
I'm with xhuxk on Naive, which I might mutter upthread -- it seems to put all their strengths together best and at its most approachable as well. Also very glad I have the original version before they had to cut out the Orff samples.

― i, grey, Wednesday, 4 February 2009 07:37 (fifteen years ago) link
it's all about the coverart.if the covers were't as good as they clearly are, i suspect there would be a lot more hate.over the years i have tried to like this band, (i mean damn, they even did one album with a lot of On-U sound involvement), but something just stops me.
― mark e, Wednesday, 4 February 2009 09:39 (fifteen years ago) link
I liked KMFDM and I'm pissed that Ed Banger artists, via their Volume 3 sampler, has pretty much become KMFDM through and through, instead of just being inspired by them. Uffie is now their best artist. BELLWITHER! (ok ok i like that Uffie track)

Favorite album is still Don't Blow Your Top; favorite song is, surprisingly (to me) "Juke Joint Jezebel".
― nosotros niggamos (HI DERE), Wednesday, 4 February 2009 18:58 (fifteen years ago) link
i wish that ed banger shit had 1% of the insanity of kmfdm and at least their egomania is totally hilarious
― steve goldberg variations (omar little), Wednesday, 4 February 2009 19:02 (fifteen years ago) link
One reason why the whole beginning of Naive is so great.
"WELCOME...to the new KMFDM album!"
Friend of mine and Mackro's at UCI and a fellow KUCI DJ, Rich A., once apparently used KMFDM as a representative example of modern Dadaism for stuff like that.
― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 4 February 2009 19:04 (fifteen years ago) link

I am going to be seeing KMFDM with the wife here in Philly in a few weeks. Looking forward to seeing the band for the first time since back in the early '90s.

ahh .. so there is some ilm chat re this gathering.which is timely as today i found out the uk side of this tour is supported by none other than sheep on drugs.i had no idea that SOD were still an active concern.then i looked at the bands website and wished they weren't.now, i believe that hidden in the archive is the SOD '15 minutes of fame' cd single and a few kmfdm albums (incl. a recent one .. ).so for all the vibes that tell me this will be a collection of balding mid 40s blokes wishing that reagan was still in power, i have a slight desire to see this tour.should i stay at home and watch another re-run of the matrix, or venture out and revel in the old school industrial excess.

I don't know why it taken me so long to use the internet to find out who was on the western soundtrack version of Street Fighter: Animated Movie. I was shocked to find In The Nursery. But KMFDM- "Ultra" was the main one I wanted to know.
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Friday, 28 February 2014 23:31 (ten years ago) link
arse.wish i had gone to see them in bristol now.i just really enjoyed UAIOE.possibly due to the on-u influence (i was nudged to listen to UAIOE by the new on-u compilation that is all about AMS vs industrial)so, now trying ANGST again.the cheese factor is winning me over.i think my problem was that i never wanted industrial to be fun.however, it's making a lot more sense tonight.
― mark e, Saturday, 2 July 2016 20:50 (seven years ago) link
I really like UAIOE. I like the two metally songs on there better than the rest of their metally career by far, they're fun and dumb.

Sorta tangent, but I'm seeing The Revolting Cocks minus Al in a few months and I'm weirdly excited about it.

Going by The Cocks. Guess the Revolting part was Al.
Wild. I wonder what they sound like these days? I don't think I've actually heard anything they've done since Beers, Steers...

Didn't they do a whole Al-less album a couple of years ago? I remember him saying something about how he'd passed the name on to some bunch of young reprobates...whatever they're doing, it can't possibly be worse than Linger Fickin' Good or whatever that album was called.

Are there many clubs that cater to industrial dance music anymore or has it melted into the electronic backround? I'd have to figure in major cities there would be at least 'nights' out there devoted to this sound.

There's a gothy club here (Baltimore) and the occasional industrial DJ night at one of the hipster-y establishments.
The RevCo show is apparently all of Bigsexy Land + other jams which sounds fun to me.
