So I popped it in the tapedeck and promptly had my mind blown. I had never heard anything like that before and was immediately a fan. I remember trying to describe the style of music to a friend of mine a few days later and the best I could come up with was "a cross between Depeche Mode and Obituary".

Haha cool. I also remember hearing Thieves and the power drill sound and pounding drums really did it for me. So heavy and forceful, in a good way.

THAT's the tour I wish I'd seen them on. And I was living in the Chicago burbs too, had I only known. Though I might not have lived to see today.

I was in Naperville. From 86-92. You?

I never spent any time on the north side, basically just the neighborhoods around Naperville and of course downtown Chicago. I bet Naperville was quite different already, 9 years after I left. I haven't been back since, but would like to visit one of these days.
