They were pretty much one of the first bands (if not the first) to coin the term 'Industrial Music'. They went against the grains of 'structured' rock and roll. Invented their own instruments. Dressed weird, cross dressed, wild confrontational performances. Unpredictable. Anti-music. Radical even for the 70's. Some of their content was brash, violent noise. Some smoother textures, some disturbing topics sometimes or some soothing psychedelia.
Nothing you would have tolerance for even a minute, as we agreed. LOL

Sounds amazing; where should I start? First Annual Report? 20 Jazz Funk Greats? Something else?

I guess since EVOL is my favorite SY, I should like the rest of that stuff?

Paul Lemos was releasing records on every label around the globe and the imports got ridiculously expensive. I've always said that if and when I become a multi millionaire, I'm going to buy every record ever.
This my fave:
"Dub Songs from a Shallow Grave"

RRRecords in Lowell, MA did has a great catalog of this music. Music that Lewdd would automatically have no patience for.
patient_ot wrote:A good chunk of the catalog is on Bandcamp, but not everything. I'm definitely a fan and own a good chunk of their stuff, mostly from the earlier noise era. The Drowning is probably my favorite release overall from them, but I have a soft spot for the early tape releases like XXX and such. I have a CD boxset from a few years back of those releases.
I also like the side project Skin Chamber, pretty underrated these days I think.
The more gothic-oriented releases weren't always to my taste, but some of them aren't bad.
The Poisoner is very good if you like minimal dark ambient type stuff.

Here are some very bad transfers of stuff I recorded circa 1989-1992 or so. At the time, I considered it “noise” music, but most of it is not industrial. It’s listed under a combination of two user names from web forums (one being this one). The original tapes were attributed to variations of Lazarus Come Forth, LCF, LC4, etc. it was made mostly with guitar, but I certainly didn’t consider these recordings “songs.” They are listed as sides 1-4, because I just ripped the whole tapes a side at a time. 1 and 2 are from the same tape, A Brief History of Time (circa 1989/1990). 3 and 4 are later. I made tapes for 4 or 5 friends. One of my friends once told me that she was at a party in Richmond thrown by no one I knew, and one of my tapes was playing. Weird.

I'm sure you know the history, but in case anyone doesn't that term was coined by Bennett from Whitehouse, which for the most part I can't listen to anymore. Years ago I went through a huge Whitehouse/Sutcliffe Jugend phase and eventually ended up dumping almost all of it. The only thing I kept or re-bought was the real version of 150 Murderous Passions (which is on a Come Org comp.) and Erector. Pretty much the only WH related things I like anymore.
Most of the current breed of PE artists from the 90s onward were either ripping off WH/SJ or trying to distinguish themselves from "industrial" which was a term that got watered down.
Unlike most artists from that whole PE scene, Lustmord was actually groundbreaking and important. People widely imitated him as well.

I like 'Purifying Fire' the best, though the collab with Melvins ("Pigs of the Roman Empire") is also TERRFIC. One of the best alternative tentacles wax releases. I think the CD came out on Mike Patton's label.

My favorite Lustmord album has always been "the Place Where the Black Stars Hang". Might be too minimal for some tastes. I've got most of his material from the beginning up through the mid-90s, including Purifying Fire. I'm much less familiar with his more recent material. I just never got around to it.

Luckily, with noise it doesn’t hurt the “music” all that much. I should probably import it into Audacity and copy the good channel into the bad channel. There’s not a lot of stereo field on those tapes, so it probably wouldn’t hurt it much.

This piece of ‘music’ iS REALLY fucking good. Screams of 1980’s Pacebo Records sounds. Broken up pieces of sound very nicely.

JFA's label? They put out this kind of stuff? Educate me, por favor.
