THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.
Hmm.. the article is a bit wrong.. the name comes from the style of the pile of records Chris Liebing used to pick up from his local record store, the owner calling in the schranz pile..
I'd definitely rule out some of the names on that list, especially Cari Lekebusch who is a hell of a lot more diverse in his production..
but hey, to most people it's all washing machine music..

Well that's what I thought when I read it, the name that sprang out at me as one I knew, heard some his tunes and sets was Cari Lekebusch and that stuff didn't really fit what I was interpreting the rest to mean.
Nah, far from it.. its a more stripped down, angular and somewhat "clanking" form of techno..
The Wikipedia list is pretty much off the mark to be honest as a lot of artists will record what they consider just to be techno - I have a couple of Umek tunes and they are very different, one being near to early acid house and the other far closer to the schranz sound..
Labels such as CLR (Chris Liebings own label), Fine Audio Recordings and Construct Rhythm are probably good examples of Schranz labels as such..
Out of Germany there's about 3 different styles I like personally those being Berlin Techno (imagine electro techno without the cheesiness it inherited upon arrival in the UK and keeping a very experimental feel..), Frankfurt Techno - big bass, vocals and driving - Kiddaz FM is the best label for that, and of course Schranz..
But at the end of the day its silly to be tied down by one particular form of a music style, my technop records are mainly what I would describe as being "european techno"...
though I do hate all forms of trance especially psytrance, which really is the devil's music..

Save yourself the time.. use google and put Chris Liebing + MP3 - you should find a set within seconds

Seems a fairly common musical association does Sisters to Techno, Industrial Groove Machines innit
lol.. yeah, I also think that a lot of people don't get it either..
I fell in love with techno after finding myself in a dirty warehouse in London with a 20K sound system blasting the stuff out and me in a rather messy state...
All's all about the dyanmics of the sound... (man..)

OK - due to crazy relationship tings going down currently I am without broadband access this week... I might have it on Monday night so I'll try and have a look about then for mp3 sites...

@ruffers :not sure off the top of my head -i think it's in my "scrapbook" of interviews ...i'll dig it out and let you know.
edit : found it - "there is....a fine line between monotony and effective repetition" -andrew eldritch. from a postal interview with BLACK magazine,by Gary Kitchener, 1984.

And I knew the words to every song.

"No! The words you sang were wrong!"
