Well, Fran it looks like you procrastinated long enough that a new H band has been born while we were waiting for your responses, and I can't help but wonder... what are your first impressions of Mariqueen's new project, How To Destroy Angels? http://pitchfork.com/news/38686-how-to-destroy-angels-a-drowning/ I'm a big fan of downtempo, and love ethereal sounding female vocalists, but was a little underwhelmed by the debut track. I know you will give a very balanced and honest review as you always do, so I look forward to your analysis. I'll reserve final judgement on the project in total, until I've heard a little more, but am leaning toward disappointed. While I'm on a kick of saying aloud the things that wiser people only think quietly to themselves.... I must say, I find it interesting, that the HDTA project didn't really use any of the Indie band promotion methods, that Trent has been enamored/experimenting with lately. What is your take on that? Wow, so many suggestions to check out since I last checked the H’s.

My head is bobbing as I type this. Axel F, PURE GENIUS! While it might be a touch dated, there is something extremely desirable about older, slightly ragged, emptier music then the polished multi-layer things we get today. I think more emotion is captured into older tracks no doubt due to the lack of massaging by computers. I thought for sure you would have picked some Haysi Fantayzee (since you requested Chris get that to you). I helped him upload that onto your ftp if you haven't noticed it there. I know one of the songs is skippy, but coming from vinyl that doesn't surprise me. Some of the jumps sound like maybe something went wonky in the digitalization. Anyways Haysi Fantayzee has a very playful tongue in cheek feeling to it that reminded me of some of the earlier releases by my first suggestion: Hanzel und Gretyl-Late 90's Industrial Dance turned from spacier themes into a heavier psuedo-germanic industrial metal sound. They are from NY and are certainly milking the German thing (a bit too much to be serious IMO). Faster, louder, repetitive music may very well not be your thing. At the very least maybe you have some new workout music. I could listen to this for days straight. This selection is very indicative of their current sound: http://blip.fm/profile/lordpantsington/blip/35194830/Hanzel+Und+Gretyl%E2%80%93Lederhosen+Macht+Frei Next up Hocico http://www.forvo.com/word/hocico/ (Mexican Industrial Band) More of a symphonic side to Industrial. Reminds me of some crazy dark chamber music at times. They seem rather influenced by Leaetherstrip, has some of that same gothic industrial feel to it. Sometimes they can be a little blah for me. It makes for good background music when drawing. http://blip.fm/profile/lordpantsington/blip/35196381/Hocico+Pandemonium Mmmmmmmm Hardknox is super tasty, and right up my alley. My head is bobbing as I type this.

Axel F, PURE GENIUS! While it might be a touch dated, there is something extremely desirable about older, slightly ragged, emptier music then the polished multi-layer things we get today. I think more emotion is captured into older tracks no doubt due to the lack of massaging by computers.

I thought for sure you would have picked some Haysi Fantayzee (since you requested Chris get that to you). I helped him upload that onto your ftp if you haven’t noticed it there. I know one of the songs is skippy, but coming from vinyl that doesn’t surprise me. Some of the jumps sound like maybe something went wonky in the digitalization. Anyways Haysi Fantayzee has a very playful tongue in cheek feeling to it that reminded me of some of the earlier releases by my first suggestion:

Hanzel und Gretyl-Late 90′s Industrial Dance turned from spacier themes into a heavier psuedo-germanic industrial metal sound. They are from NY and are certainly milking the German thing (a bit too much to be serious IMO).

Faster, louder, repetitive music may very well not be your thing. At the very least maybe you have some new workout music. I could listen to this for days straight. This selection is very indicative of their current sound:

Next up Hocico http://www.forvo.com/word/hocico/
(Mexican Industrial Band) More of a symphonic side to Industrial. Reminds me of some crazy dark chamber music at times. They seem rather influenced by Leaetherstrip, has some of that same gothic industrial feel to it. Sometimes they can be a little blah for me. It makes for good background music when drawing.
