It’s not rocket science, it’s apop

As with any longtime Apop fan, “Welcome To Earth” amd “Harmonizer” will always be my faves. In my book they are two very influential electronic masterpieces that made Apop a prominent superpower in the Electronic, EBM, Futurepop, Post-Synth genre/realm.

Then in 2005, they released “You & me Against The World” leaving behind their heavy electronic sound [...]

Filling up space and writing between the lines

Or also titled as….random thoughts spewing forth from my cranium.
Inspiration.  Never around when you need it…always there when you can’t do anything about it. 
Yeah, I’ve not done much in the way of music in the past while.  Granted there’s been moving, holidays, children, schedules, life in general but in spite of that, the musical inpiration has [...]

Imperative Reaction – Minus All

My first discovery of the band Imperative Reaction was hearing the song “Giving in to the change” from a metropolis music sampler.  It quickly became a favorite song of mine (and still is).  This lead me to their album “redemption” which was their most recent release at the time.  Redemption was everything I love about [...]

new mend song up

As soon as myspace is done “processing” the new track, “the state we’re in” will be available for preview and download.  It’s a good glimpse of what’s to come in the new “album”.  It’s also a bit poppier than what we’ve done….pleasant surprise? or artistic oversight? does it really matter? can you tell that we’ve [...]

joy division

I’ve been a huge new order/ joy division fan since I discovered them around 1984. I had stumbled across KBSU’s radio program “the other side of the tracks” that featured modern alternative music back in the day.  Temptation and later Love will tear us apart were the first 2 tracks I remember hearing.  It wasn’t [...]

Interesting!

Here’s an older post that confirms what I’ve read “in between the lines” regarding why Alan Wilder left DM. Unfortunate how 2 people who compliment each other’s art/craft as well can’t get past the almighty ego.
