Hey there. I'm big into IDM and started getting into breakcore. I've also always loved the Downwards techno label. I know a bit of Industrial (NIN, Einsturzende Neubauten, DAF) and found the album 'Cask Strength' by Imminent which I can't stop listening to. Could anyone give me an idea of what other industrial music I should listen to? Love the industrial sound but I don't really know which bands/albums are the best. Guitar-based, or electonic/noise-based- both are good. Thanks!

offlineMemberIf you like Imminent, I would definitely look into a lot of other stuff on Ant-Zen, especially Synapscape, Asche, Converter, and Morgenstern. And, of course, Imminent Starvation, which was O. Moreau's name for the project before he dropped the second word. The "Nord" album is incredible.
Another good label is Hands Productions, especially Winterkalte, Orphx, and Ah Cama-Sotz.

Actually your timing is almost perfect with your inquiry. For the past several months I have been working on a massive project to determine "The Greatest 101 Industrial Songs of all time" (actually it will have the top 500 listed when it's all said and done). I'm rounding up about 200-250 "experts" in this area and believe it or not some of the side-line readers even made the cut :>) But seriously I have label heads, long time djs, musicians, club owners, bookers/promoters, some of the more "well known cd and vinyl collectors" etc etc taking part in this. The voting deadline is january 1st so I can tally up the final results but Feb 1st. I've already had 3 magazine offers and a book offer to have the final results published in 2012 so the information that you so desire will be available around that time. The voters are also between the ages of 21-60 and from all over the world not to mention different "industrial" tastes--Just as many "Noise and experimental" voters as there are "synthpop" ones so the final list will probably be as "definitive" as one could hope to get for something that is so opinionated and splintered. It's been fun so far and the results that I have gotten back have been completely unexpected.. I will let you know 5 songs that are scoring very well so far
Clock DVA: The Hacker
The Normal: Warm Leatherette
Cyberaktif: Nothing Stays
Sister Machine Gun: Sins of the Flesh
Bigod 20: The Bog(as a side note if some of you guys who I haven't contacted yet (I still am sending out the emails-have about 50 more slots to fill up and yes I'm sending one to you Bernard and Seba) would like to participate in this hit me up at Greatestindustrialsongproject@gmail.com and I'll get you the details)

The Normal: Warm Leatherette"Wow, no surprise, but then again I would definately expect something worse on such a list, at least in 2011. These two tracks are in my head every other day, I swear:)

It took me about 2 months to try to put the "Master Song List" together with me culling over my large cd/vinyl collection, discogs, youtube etc etc etc It's not every single song ever written but I think it's a nice guide (and I think Electrohead would agree) to get people thinking. There's of course a ton of stuff that I missed and I actually just wen back and added another 15-20 more artists since the time Electrohead got the list (mostly ambient/experimental and noise artists such as Lull, Masonna, Steven Roach, Paul Schutze,Negativland etc etc) Going to really cool to see how this shakes out--I'm a little bummed about SL forums disappearing before I can get the results out because I bet there would be some amazing discussions/arguements about the results
