i think this has alot to do with the fact the in the early 90's industrial
became a truly stagnate genre of music ... i can only speak for myslef
here but apart from the occasional gem (the last 2 true skinny puppy
albumssome of the cop shoot cop stuff) you get guitar driven
metal-industrial crossover stuff (i lay the blame squarely on all
jourgensons[sp] feet) ... i still followed cabaret voltaire through some
weird transistions .. and it just so happens that richard kirk became and
incredible 'idm' artist .. it also happened that when i first heard
surfing on sine waves and inccabula it sounded more 'industrial' to me
than anything people like pigface  (idustrial supergroup?) and the chicago
tribe were putting out ... now your getting people who used to be
considered industrial putting out fantastic albums ... [Haujobb anyone?]
to me its a very clear metamorphosis form mid eighties industrial to the
current crop of semi undergroud electronic music ..
