Profile

Version 4 is the worst thing that could possibly have happened to Discogs.


I'm a (largely former) music journalist who was editor of Sorted magAZine, from 1996 to 2004.

I also DJ in London now and again as Girl (my nickname since I was 17), usually specialising in either old school EBM, retro 80s, industrial, electroclash or delicious mixes of these and other styles (some old sets).

I also have a real life job as an online communications consultant and am a very active trade unionist.

Wantlist:
I'm normally only interested in 12" singles for around UK£3 and LPs for around UK££5, unless I really want something or it's particularly rare. Obviously, postage from outside the UK is an issue.

If there's something in my sale list you want and you've got something from my wantlist, I might be interested in a trade. Please get in touch.

Die Krupps went there in 1992, which was more likely the bigger influence. They both remixed each other in '96. And The Young Gods had been sampling metal guitars since 1986.

To be fair, the guys from Ministry almost beat Thirwell for side-projects between them - Revolting Cocks, Pailhead, Lead Into Gold, 1000 Homo DJs, Acid Horse, Buck Satan And The 666 Shooters, Lard, PTP, Surgical Meth Machine.

Crowley was an accidental junkie, he got hooked on cough medicine, which at the time contained heroin and cocaine!

They had an impact on the acid house scene in the UK, the was never any real claim that they influenced the music in Chicago (Gen may have said it at some stage, but Gen came out with some awful shite). On the contrary, it was the records Genesis... See full review

I saw him at the Dublin show. Frankly, it was boring. I think we only danced to I Am the Walrus. Looking at the tracklist, I can see why. None of the classic 80s tracks (apart from Poland). Pity, not fun seeing a legend being boring.

I tried to create a series list of all the TP releases, but idiots deleted it. Because they know different, even though I was around when the function was introduced.

How can you have members of a person? Discogs is a database. Originally it was a group of which Vincent was a member. Then is became a solo project.

Hmmm, it's all a bit late 90s, shades of bands like Hungry Lucy, Collide and Technoir. I was hoping for something more contemporary sounding.

I just saw them tonight. Both Lisa and Brendan were on absolutely top form and the synths were tempered with more live instruments than the last two tours. Absolutely flawless, sublime performance.

This was the year Praga started the Hard Beat series, which is the real sequel to the New Beat series 1-4. This one was clearly an afterthought for the money.

Is it just me or does Icona Pop's I Love It (released two years later) bear strong simularities to this song?

Attrition released Étude in '97. And there was an awful lot of ethereal darkwave about in the late 90s (mainly on TESS with CoX and on Projekt).

Tess Records, upon which it was originally released, was a small label that went bust after a few years. Pressing vinyl was totally out of their reach at the time.
