yes indeed. 35 years ago tonight 4 scruffy herberts were nervously chopping out lines of something fast and smoking their own body -weight in marlboros in preparation for the first gig of Our Favourites. so to everyone who's ever been a part of The Industrial Groove Machine, but especially Andrew and Mark (gary marx): have a wicked day!:von:
help yourselves.

One year closer to retirement.
Thanks for all good music made in the past, and good gig.

Industrial Groove Machines a much better term for the Sisters, always seemed a hard industry sound what with the hard core rhythm that sounds like it was taken from some factory stamping machines. Well they or Andrew has certainly been an interesting person for the last 35 years of industrial noise manufacture even if there has been a low output from said industry maybe he will deem 40 years as a good point to manufacture something or not. Don't hold out hope but others have taken years off John Foxx was something like 13-14 years so.

Industrial Groove Machine works well as a title
Like most British Industry production has long ceased and all that is left is a visitors centre giving hints of former glory
Anyway, Happy Birthday.

And has been impossibly prolific ever since.

Indeed now we just go and get some of Foxx's work ethic? or creativity overload and inject it in to
. Saying that Foxx has produced some of his best work recently as well and apart from the Exotour I have managed to miss all the others.

35 years, how many of them have been disappointing? 20, 25? I'll go for 21.

I think "disappointing" is a tad strong
I would rather go for many years spent as "not appointing"
