You know, as long as they are left to do what they want to, and don´t have to fullfill the demands of shareholders, that´s all right with me.canon docre wrote:And that explains their relatively underrated status. However lovely and nice they are, they don't have the slightest hint of star quality, which hindered them from taking off. That and the lack of writing a truly mainstream marketable single.eotunun wrote: Aye! Anneke should be a star!
But then, I don´t think she´d want that much of attention for her family and herself?
Maybe Eldo could give her some advice on how to shape a mythical alter ego that vanishes when she leaves the stage and dives back to private life?
Yes to both especially to Michael Gira's sonorous croonboudicca wrote:Laibach - Pisses me off no end when people react to them as "A Nazi Band". Or a band that just "flirts with" that kind of imagery "to shock".
Milan Fras put it best when he said "We are as much Nazis as Hitler was a painter."
Swans - Unfairly written off by a lot of people when they have just heard their very early material (Flith, Greed etc.). Personally I love that "noisy" stuff too but by the late 80's they were producing something which (superficially at least) sounded very different. Klang-klunking and shouting replaced with Michael Gira's sonorous croon. Love it.

I remember Cubanate supporting The Sisters in 97 at Brixton. Mark Heal did have quite a confrontational stage persona. And what was it he said during the intro to one of the songs? "Yeah, I know I'm a genius" or something very similar.wild bill buttock wrote:Mark Heal.It was Carcass.And he was right about metal fans.He was a tad on the confrontational side.Mothra wrote:What was the name of the man behind them - Mark something?wild bill buttock wrote:Cubanate
The Worlds greatest(and possibly only) industrial/techno/metal/drum and bass band.![]()
I remember him being on GLR's Sunday metal show and saying what a bunch of f*ckwits all metal fans were, a few days before supporting someone on tour (Carcass I think). He read his home phone number out on air and asked people to phone up and give him abuse if they didn't agree with him. Hope his mum didn't pick up.

I'd like to add to that that Robin still makes music under the Sophia guise, has been for about ten years now on his Flowershop label. Sophiamusic.net is the collective (as Robin likes to call Sophia) 'unofficial' official website, run by a guy from Antwerp (Yup, another feckin' BelgianKing of Byblos wrote:read my mind, i was about to post.Ahráyeph wrote:I wouldn't call The God Machine underrated, it's just that they never got a chance to get well known because their bass player died of a brain tumor on the day their second album 'One Last Laugh In A Place Of Dying' was mixed.

the albums still kick about on'tinternet amazon have both in new and used
scenes from the second storey is 'larger' and has a few instrumentals, one last laugh is a fine collection of compact, well produced thrasy darkrock. saw them once live - FAB
the lead man now has a record label releasing a wide range of fine and odd music http://www.sophiamusic.net/
note to Dark, they did a monster cover of What Time is Love, comparable with the ENT version of 3am

I'm a big Hong Kong / Chinese film nut, but I found that a bit boring last time I watched it. That was a few years ago though so it may be time to give it another chance. I do agree that Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon is overrated.King of Byblos wrote:A Touch of Zen 1969 China

I can guarantee you they were all over the place in 1993. Not that they didn't deserve it, but when you saw them in virtually every music magazine it started to be a bit too much.streamline wrote: Didn't notice their publicity at the time![]()

None of my mates liked them at all - ooh they were mean to me!
