Industrial music

I was (and i believe i'm) a fan of industrial music for a long period of my life, I've found some references to this genre during our readings for the lecture. Therefore i would like to share with you some information about this "music". I think it is relevant and perhaps even interesting for those who don't know or haven't heard about it before.

It was (is) to be a vehicle to explore a new form of expression through analysis, presentation and aural stimulation. Industrial music was (is) something like a strike against the information war launched by the propaganda leaders and it positioned it as more than just a musical movement, but an alternative culture.

Examples of early people on the industrial label include Monte Cazzazza, Clock DVA, Cabaret Voltaire, Throbbing Gristle, Leather Nun, and William S. Burroughs. Late 70's and early 80's

Examples of some bands during 80's and 90's would include: Non, SPK, Einstuerzende Neubauten, Test Department, Laibach, Rhythm and Noise, Ono, Trial, Skinny Puppy , Revolting Cocks, Ministry, Front 242 and Front Line Assembly.

These essential ideas are the make up for the movement:

• Organizational Autonomy.
• Access to Information.
• Use of Synthesizers and Anti-Music.
• Extra-Musical Elements.
• Shock Tactics.
