Interesting comp. album on UK label Dead Man's Curve. Vol. 1 has European acts while this one contains underground acts from the USA.
Corpses As Bedmates also released an album on Dead Man's Curve called 'Venus Handcuffs'. Has been re-released on CD in 2004 dropping the band name, replaced by Venus Handcuffs. Bob Drake and Susanne Lewis were also in Thinking Plague, 5UU'S, and appear on many other albums. Bob Drake lives in France now and still releases albums.
Little Fyodor used to be a member of Walls Of Genius. Released 3 albums and numerous cassettes. CDR copies are stil available on his website.
Digital Sex released a mini-album on their own Essence Records and a CD on French cult label Sordide Sentimental.
F/i have quite some cassettes and albums and mix industrial sounds with spacerock tunes. 2 members later in Drag City act Vocokesh.
Boy Dirt Car released some albums on RRR Records of which one is a split album with F/i. Key members are Darren Brown (who later founded Impact Test) and Eric Lunde who released many solo recordings of industrial stuff.
The Haters is Canadian Jupiter Larsen, and a well established name within the more noisy side of the industrial scene.
For Against released some quite beautiful postpunk albums on Independent Projects. I think most of their albums are re-released on CD and not hard to find. Everyone should have heard 'Echelons' once in their life.
Smersh also released an album on Dead Man's Curve. You can find both vinyl albums on The Thing On The Doorstep. There's actually 2 tracks of them although only one is mentioned.
Hunting Lodge offer a live version of one of their most wellknown tracks that appeared as a 12".
Psyclones are Brian Ladd and Julie Frith. On this track they got help of the mysterious Schlafengarten. Some albums of Psyclones can be found here and 2 tapes of Schlafengarten on Shards Of Beauty.
Gestaltung is an alias for Smersh.
