This quick review is done after a few hours of listening. I bought them from B&H for the decent sum of 150$. If you've done your research you'll find out that Ultrasone HPs are known for their...
I auditioned the SRH-1840 straight out of the box, and was unsatisfied with the sound, so I decided to give them a period of break-in. Recent scientific studies have shown definite differences...
I didn't think of TEAC when I began searching for a dedicated CD player. My initial short list included Denon, Cambridge, Marantz, Onkyo. The Teac intrigued me, so I went for it. It is very...
Sennheiser HD-598s are the most comfortable headphones I've had the opportunity to use. I recommend these wholeheartedly for any first-time hi-fi buyer because of their excellent soundstage and...
Are there any fans of industrial music here? I'm a big fan of every form of it. From SPK to Skinny Puppy to Nine Inch Nails to modern EBM style. Here's a few of my favorite songs in the genre.
Oh yes indeed I love Industrial.
Although I primarily love the original form of industrial, and I actually dislike EBM
My favorites are definitely Coil, SPK, Merzbow, KMFDM, Laibach, NIN, Tweaker.
Other than that I also love Mindless Self Indulgence and Dr. Steel, although those are on the border line of what you'd call industrial.
It's funny. The music I posted are more an example of what I use to listen to. The music I listen to now I feel is closer to what I feel Industrial music was/is all about.

MSI has industrial elements but they arent strictly industrial. Their first few albums had elements of jungle and industrial fused into punk. Though their first self titled EP was definitely industrial. Very generic derivative industrial, but fun to listen to. Coil is great, I love those guys. Dr Steel is cool too, he fits in hip hop beats into industrial which is a very cool thing. If you like that you should check out Saul Williams' album with Nine Inch Nails. Merzbow isnt always industrial, he kinda fits more into general noise. But his merzbient albums have a lot of industrial elements to them. They reminds me a lot of Chu Ishikawa, who I love. He's one of the very few industrial musicians in japan and one of the best in the genre.

I saw the link before reading your post. I love Chu Ishikawa, I even love him so much I watched the corresponding movies just for their sound tracks. (Tip: don't do this for they are terrible)
I find it weird that there are so few plays of this guy on Last.FM, since many people seem to appreciate his art.
I think his best works, in ranked order, are;
1. Tetsuo I & II
2. Tetsuo the Bullet Man
3. Bullet Ballet
4. Nightmare Detective
5. Tokyo Fist
I found the Tetsuo movies to be fascinating works of Body Horror but hey, most people aren't into that. Horror that isn't slasher flicks or pg13 suspense is a very niche genre. But yeah he's good. I've only heard his work for the Tetsuo movies, I'll have to look into his other music. I have the original versions of the Tetsuo 1+2 music but its only 128kbps which sucks. I want to buy it and rip it as a higher bitrate but its impossible to find the right version of the soundtrack. There's like, five versions and the one I want is rare as hell. Also Nine Inch Nails did a track for the third Tetsuo movie very similar to his work and I loved it. I thought it was his best song since the stuff on Year Zero.
2 weeks ago, the podcast Sound Opinions had a show about Wax Trax, a major industrial label. Featured is an interview with Chris Conelly (Ministry, Revolting Cocks, Pigface, PTP, KMFDM, Acid Horse) and Paul Barker (Ministry, Revolting Cocks, Pigface, PTP, Lard).
