Isn't that just industrial music?

And one of them will tell you about the classical musician that supposedly did it better
Like **** that. I understand that minimalism like that was being done before, but not in a pop music sense that was easily digestible and immediate. Like, you might have to take a minute to get used to that if you've been raised on a diet of only top 40 but I think you can still understand it as opposed to be thoroughly confused by La Monte Young no matter how hard you try.

Kinda yeah. But from 1975. Industrial music did not exist in 1975. Try to find anything that sounded like that from 1975. I'll wait.

it's proto-punk, and proto-punk bands also foreshadowed some of the directions punk would go after '77
But if it came out today it'd just be called industrial. Why would it not be called industrial just because industrial wasn't a genre yet?

I'll call it pre-industrial industrial.

Like, you totes could, but it would make more sense to marvel at what a band was able to create all by their ****ing selves with lord knows what influences that were going at the time (I'd love to know Suicide's influences in the mid-late 70s) and then explore what else they were able to do. I mean this for example.



Like I think Suicide might have been the most powerful band of the 70s. The best? I don't know, that's a tall order, but the most powerful quite possibly. They're definitely the band I'd kill the most people to see live when they were in their heyday.

Yeah I know the rockabilly, but if they were able to take rockabilly and with no other influences produce what they did then I'd be ready to call them the greatest band in all of pop music bar ****ing none. I'm sure they had other stuff to run through their filter though. They had to have. I mean kraut rock and the Monks and avant garde whateverthe****.

Yeah I know. Like I could just decide to be a musical genius right now at 33 and put all the kids in their place for the rest of their lives and all of their children too and create something no one knew how to deal with and maybe being older and wiser and more aesthetically experienced would be why they couldn't even know about it.

And as far as I know they weren't a CBGB's band.

Oh hey I didn't realize Throbbing Gristle's first album was that early. Yeah okay. Musically they still didn't have **** on Suicide but that's still hella neat.
