MFX 03 – Arguably Industrial 3-pack
Is it industrial? Well, if you’re not banging on shopping carts and oil drums like Einstürzende Neubauten, then it’s always arguable!
These bands combine electronics and guitars to get a gritty and/or aggressive sound. That’s good enough in my book for the broadest definition. The trouble is, HMX decided to slot Industrial as a subgenre to Metal! You’ll have to forgive that minor setback.
Hednoize- “Loaded Gun”
Daniel Lenz formed this project (with Brent Daniels) after techno group Psykosonik broke up: I guess there weren’t enough Mortal Kombat movie soundtracks to keep them going!
Little bit of trivia here: this song was included in the original La Femme Nikita TV series and appeared on the soundtrack album. In fact, the death of TVT Records made it such that DVD licensing of the song was eventually deemed unresolvable, and it was removed from the episode “Off Profile” after the first manufacturing run.
Audio edits: Shortened intro and abridged piano solo

Machines of Loving Grace – “Suicide King”
These guys started more on the electronic side of the spectrum with their gritty brand of techno. Their second album was much more ambitious in terms of arrangements, but the third album “Gilt” brought a really heavy guitar sound, courtesy of Tool producer Sylvia Massy.
Audio edits: Shorter intro, synced timing of middle break, and I think a repeat or two got dropped along the way.

Orgy – “Stitches”
From their debut and best of three* albums, “Candyass”, this is the OTHER single that’s not “Blue Monday”.
(* After founder/vocalist Jay Gordon managed to boot out the other members to form Julien-K, he’s tried to keep the act hobbling along, but it just ain’t the same.)
Oh, and Orgy actually described themselves as ‘Death Pop’ at one point. Kinda fits.
Audio edits: Ummm… none? Only issue is that I vaguely remember time-aligning it to a continuous tempo for beatmatching at one point, which may have left artifacting.

Preview videos!
Apparently the whole rights kerfuffle over Hednoize’s “Loaded Gun” has hit YouTube, too! Here’s a crappy audio quality version to a questionable fan video:
Wow, someone else knows about Orgy! That’s awesome! Way way wayyyy down the line, I want to do a couple of Orgy songs. I have a 3 pack in mind.
I can’t think of many authors who release vocal only customs. You are unique!
Unfortunately my plastic drum kit (as well as the real one!) are still in boxes after the last move. I’d probably do an occasional drum chart if that were rectified, but it’s much less of a space hassle to just plug in two mics to sing with the missus (these are all her requests, pretty much!).

I actually knew about Orgy earlier than most people, probably! I sold one of my guitar-synths to Amir before the first album even dropped. He told me about the band, and I figured I’d check them out. Good stuff!
What’s this?! An update after
twoalmost THREE years!?!?MFX 04 – Ad Hoc Troubador 3-pack
Everyone has been asking for this one!!!
Okay, so I’m lying: NOBODY HAS BEEN ASKING FOR THIS ONE.
Straight outta the early 90’s Michigan college scene, Ad Hoc Troubador was a synth-driven duo with a New Romantic mindset. Or is it post-New Wave? Or maybe they were perky-goth… Or maybe I’m safe to label them as “Glam” because none of you know them from any other band and you’re not gonna call me on it!
Typical singalong rules are in play: Audio edits to cut down instrumental sections and for hard starts and ends. Release date is 100 years in the future for easy filtering.
Ad Hoc Troubador – “Addiction”
Ad Hoc Troubador – “We Hear the Same Trains”
Ad Hoc Troubador – “Yosemite”
SINGLE: Blue Öyster Cult – “Cagey Cretins”
Deep cut from the bestest BÖC album, “Secret Treaties”. Because if I didn’t chart this myself, who ever would?!

Minor quibble: I think your latest custom got bitten by the reverse Y2K bug.

” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_smile.gif” />Nope! I just date all vocal-only customs 100 years in the future so that it’s easy to filter them out by decade.

But what if you author something prior to 1919 one day?
