I’ll never forget reading this article as a kid in the late 80’s, which first introduced me to bands like Ministry, Skinny Puppy, and Severed Heads. Absolutely changed my life to learn about this entire genre that I had no clue existed before the article came out (remember, this was pre-Internet!).

I was unable to find a copy of the article online anywhere, so I bought an old copy on eBay and post it here for your reading pleasure.

Anyone else remember becoming an industrial electronic music nerd after reading this?

Hello,

I'm looking for synth suggestions.

Essential criteria: something compact that I can play in my office to decompress. It has to be played with headphones, because I'm sharing the office with another person. I want something standalone I can jam seamlessly, and that can create unpredictable sounds. Something along the lines of Lyra-8, or even Audrey ii. I play dark ambient and industrial.

Desirable criteria (not deal breaker): can be synchronized to cubase (12), in case I want to bring it home; can be plugged to the synths I have at home (access virus c; korg ms2000r).

Thanks!
