actually i liked their first album .. after that i just found them too sterile - even at their 'dirtiest'

Didnt realise they were so popular over there urge,i get some funny looks if i say i am a fan nowadays,they're still making some good stuff today.

Was anyone a fan of the industrial movement in the early 80s?

Early Skinny Puppy, things of that nature.

WOOOSH!!!!!Straight over my head that one i'm afraid.

Some early Meatpuppets, Flaming Lips, or Red Hot Chili Peppers anyone?Yes, RHCP made albums in the eighties young ones.

I haven't heard their recent stuff or followed it in some time, because I thought their most creative period was back there in their first four or five albums or so. "Some Great Reward," I thought, was some kind of achievement, and was the prettiest music they did before becoming completely dark.

Strange to see photos of them now, after they've made such a tremendous name and such tremendous money...strange to think they were starving blokes with keyboards a couple of decades back.
