iNDUSTRiE - Captivity
Rooting around in a cupboard tonight for something else, I found another box full of tapes of old demos and rough-cuts from my old band iNDUSTRiE. Reminded me that it's been a long while since I last subjected the modern world to an earful of what we used to blast out at gigs back in the day. I played through a few bits of various tapes and stumbled on this track which evolved from something I knocked up (as you do when you've got several synths, samplers, a sequencer, a drum machine and beer at your disposal).

Don't listen to 'Now It's Dark' on YouTube if you are of a nervous disposition or if you really hated the film Blue Velvet! The opening vocal sample may well give your lovebird a cardiac.
I'll dig out a more listenable track next time.
Blues to metal ..... ?
Bloody good stuff. I liked it a lot.
Thanks Mr White. Your latest expose about the impending war with Argentina and the expected return to the golden age of rarities had me pissing myself - keep them coming.
