This is an early industrial track. It's a bit odd and very good.

31 May 04 ·Mike: Sorry, but I can't let this song title pass without comment. I mean, what kind of image does it conjure up? I hope not necessarily one of early industry. 02 Jun 04 ·dexxas: Ithink it might be a bit of a gas ... whoops sorry 02 Jun 04 ·dexxas: Ithink it might be a bit of a gas ... whoops sorry
One of ENs less soft tracks. It's simple and kind of sounds like a chant. It's very simple and one of my favorite EN songs of all time. Even if you're not into industrial I think you check it out.
04 Jun 04 ·n-jeff: "One of EN's less soft tracks" is a phrase that can't pass without comment. I saw them live once, back in 83 probably.
Lets see, power drills, check; man detuning bass guitar through great big speaker stack, check; someone hitting big chunks of metal, check; audience throwing bottles at very large miked steelplates, check; dustbin lid full of burning tar, check; anything even remotely quiet going on? err, no.
All noisy, very, very noisy. 04 Jun 04 ·absinthe: Um... if you think that power tools, lots of bass and a rowdy, loud live show is what makes a band heavy then you are very mistaken. 10 Jun 04 ·n-jeff: True, but I'm just saying "soft" is not part of the normal lexicon one would use to describe Einsturzende Neubauten.
This is one of my favorite Skinny Puppy songs and the one that got me to stop listening to metal and start listening to industrial. The synth is not heavy at all, but somehow it made me go "Well, maybe I don't need my music to be heavy." It's a good track to start off with if you're new to Skinny Puppy. Also try The Killing Game if you want to be more familiar with them.
