BONUS EPISODE: The Big Three

105 min • 28 april 2018

In what you might think is becoming a practical joke - we have a BONUS episode for you before the Fragile trilogy of episodes finally drops. Full disclosure - we recorded the first Fragile ep and much like Trent's first attempts in Big Sur to record the album, antics from outside our control conspired to delay it. Very meta. Because we will only release the BEST of quality for our dear listeners. We plan to finish the recordings Sunday the 29th - promise.

In the meantime we have this gem from the archives. Recorded via webX by Mix Master Eric, so not as clean as our typical in person sessions but still a fun talk. We took about 90 minutes to wax(trax) lovingly about what we consider the Big Three of Industrial Music - Skinny Puppy, KMFDM, and Ministry. Three bands we may have discovered if not for Trent, but for kids our age he certainly hastened up the process. Considering that the NIN break away from the industrial sound was the Fragile, we thought this might be a good place to drop this discussion into our discography. We go into the history of the bands, our history with the bands, best albums, and do not hesitate to call them out for when two of them went way off the deep end. But it's all from a place of love. A little Front Line Assembly chatter as well.

And boy howdy, A Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Taste is still a classic. My goodness.

Thank you for your patience and you'll hear us talking about actual Nine Inch Nails again very soon.
