Great sample selection. Damn, only a few of the names mentioned give away that this isn't recent. Great use of the M8 synth engines in this one too. Love the windup build at like 2min.

I'M SO HAPPY THINGS HAVE IMPROVED SO MUCH SINCE THEN. RIGHT!?!?!?!
Joking aside, the sounds here are dope! Ominous and still somehow fun! How did you do that?

On one hand, depressing dystopia, on the other, sick jam to groove to. Brings to mind a darkly humorous quote from Cruelty Squad: "When the beat drops, I'm going to fucking kill myself", haha.

I've been watching a few shows from the 90's lately and am amazed at how they address so many of the same issues we're STILL facing today.  Things really, really don't change as much as you think and it's depressing.  Thanks for making it sound good at least.

Too real. The samples and the vibe of your composition really complement each other well. Great work on this one!

A groovy and nervy jam for internal screaming. Hard hitting samples of course. Love the bass and its tiny variations throughout and the great clank sound on the and-of-2. My favorite parts, though, are the reactions to various quotes: the rapid-panned technocratic bleeps after the "global economy" quote, the quiet after the "private information" quote, the siren-like pitch rise after the bomb. And of course what a perfect quote to end it with.

Love the samples. They made me mad!
And the music perfectly conveys the emotion.

Love this!
That final line "What's changed since March of 2003" hit hard!

The combination of the news readers and your track fit so perfectly well.

Mini discs holy cow, do you rip them into your pc?  This song gave me a sense of like how the news may be applied to music in the future to appeal to a younger generation.

This is really cool!  The bgm is great and the NPR clips are fascinating.  The overall effect is like a listenable form of whatever genre einstürzende neubauten's "Guns" was.

It's giving 80's in the best way. Makes me dream if there was a retro game that was about politics and corporate control.
Well done

Oooh, this is my jam.

I love this old school sample based music. Reminds me of Paul Hardcastle.

Awesome work. This one is one of my favorite tracks of yours. Super groovy with that nervous syncopated rhythm, love the spaciousness in the sounds. The speech samples sound nice and crunchy. Very much sets a dystopian vibe.

that was a blast, crazy how the only thing that changes is the music as documentation that anything has changed at all only to reaffirm that nothing has changed.

Woah

Woah

Way to make a track that adds to the already unprecedented levels of anxiety we're feeling 😂 But maybe actually you're showing that shit's been broken all along. Nihil novi sub sole.

As for the music itself, there's a certain retrofuturistic feel to the track. As if a mid-to-late '90s sci-fi game soundtrack. I dig it.

Really liked the overall feel and commentary of this. Gives me strong Paul Hardcastle “19” vibes, but is very much its own thing! This is some excellent channeling of anger into art.

Very rich tapestry here! The samples work fine with the lively sequencing. I also like the fact that you kept the overall sound nicely crisp.

I really like that hollow metallic snare sound. This track grooves so hard. The audio samples were very interesting. I'm surprised how many things I'd forgotten about. That last sample was a perfect way to end this one. Really nice piece man. Favorited!

I dig the old school EDM vibes.  The blend of vocal samples and classic synths always a winner in this vein.  Love how they were extracted from MD too.  I've still got a bunch of MDs actually.  I used to use it as a field recorder but I haven't listened to them in years either!

Thanks! Yeah, I thought about editing the names out as a gotcha, but decided not to edit the news samples more than I had to. Some were shortened, but none of the content was manipulated to change meaning. We really have been like this for a while.

Sorry!

Thanks! I like ominous stuff, but I like catchy stuff more, so that might get in the way of me going full ominious.

Ha ha (and also AAAAGH) but perfectly appropriate. I need to cook up more sick jams to get myself through the foreseeable future!

Thank you! They kind of chose themselves, especially the last one. I was really lucky to have randomly got those discs!

Thank you - I try! Yeah, it's easy to get caught up in things, but I remember what 2001 felt like and all the war talk and the Patriot Act and thinking all of it was just a blatant power grab and an obviously hollow excuse for war while everyone around me waved flags and went shopping. It was maddening then; it's maddening now.

Thank you! I will forever chase the EBM sound because I love it and want it for my own.
The headlines I'd be happy to leave behind if they'd let me.

Hee thanks! I do have plenty of MDs with more nostalgic content, but I didn't feel like being comfortable.

Yay!! Then my job is done. No more Weekly Beats for me. XD

Thanks - it's definitely a roller coaster and I'd like to get off of it soon.

I appreciate the listen! I'm still working on sound design, so getting things to gel correctly in a mix is a constant struggle. Using exceptions to conventional mix wisdom for effect is far into the horizon but hopefully some day! (and that GIF is exactly how I feel some days)

Ooooo new music for me to find!! Thank you!

I have so much MD equipment and discs and I love all of it! My first real portable music obsession.

Thank you!! I have a few more details I want to add, but they won't change the main feel of the track. I would still like to release an industrial album some day, and if you don't mind, I'd love to use "Music for Internal Screaming" as the title

Oh my goodness what a depressingly appropriate image for all this. Hopefully it doesn't come to that, but TBH I'm not optimistic.

Thanks - making people mad is the goal (well, reminding them anyway - the mad just sorta comes with it). When I was combing through the MDs for headlines and commentary, the "what's changed" intro to that interview played and I knew it had to end the track. It was too perfect and completely summarised the message I had in mind.

I really appreciate it. I had the track sketched out and I knew I wanted to add propaganda clips, but I was thinking "Go USA" stuff from World War II. When I started listening to the NPR recordings I was equal parts elated and depressed. It was weird.

That's a good idea, actually! I could rip the MDs back into a PC using my NetMD recorder and the WebMiniDisc Pro web app (it actually has that functionality!) but for these I listened on my MD player and just sampled the news segments right into the M8. I probably should back up those MDs though.

Thanks! I hadn't thought of the dark sociopolitical commentary in the first Robocop movie, but I bet if I re-watched it, most of that satire will have become true. -_-

Thanks! EDM needs a nice tight bass, and I usually tend to let my sounds ring out well past their natural expiry, so reigning everything in and toning down the reverb/delay was my big challenge. I also wasn't sure how the news chatter would work at the very end, if it was going to drown out the main "what's changed" line, but I think I got it!

Oh wow - listenable Einstürzende Neubauten! Is that a thing? XD (Sorry I had to) Thank you!!

Thanks! I bet there is a very intense game out there involving political movers and shakers making backroom deals with shady corporations while running world societies. Well...one besides the one playing out in real life anyway.

Oh thank you! I had the 12" single for "19" back in the day and listened to it constantly, so this is VERY high praise for me!!

Yeah....me too

Woo hoo thanks! I mentioned it in a reply above, but trying to get that clean, crisp EBM sound kinda goes against everything I usually do, so I'm glad it worked! Speech samples just have a little bit of LP/HP filter to roll off the radio voice bass, but otherwise most of the crunch is baked into the LP4-compressed recordings (that were also probably recorded off a shortwave band).

Pretty much! It's far easier to track how societies grow and change by their artistic output than their politics.

Thank you! This style is definitely a labour of love, so it means a lot when people dig it!

ISN'T IT WILD?? I started listening to those MDs and literally the first two headlines could have happened last week. That's when I knew the shape those samples had to take. Sadly, I think I was only listening through them for less than an hour to get all these pulled. It didn't take long.

JOIN US! The M8 is easily the most capable AND most portable music making device I have. If you can gel with the LSDJ-style interface, it's your friend for life. Appreciate your comment on the mix - I have NO idea what I'm doing, so when I manage to stumble on a decent mix I'm super happy to hear it!

EXACTLY.

Ha ha I didn't mean to ramp up anybody's existential dread, but you're right - it's been this way for a while. I'll have to dig into retrofuturistic types of music, because if they sound similar to this, I want to make more!

Thanks emily! That quote is perfect, and possibly way too subtle messaging for where we find ourselves now...

Thanks! I'd much rather do samples more along the lines of the snack mix recipe in my WB2024 EBM attempt, but the climate has changed a bit since 2024.

Aww thank you! The second Paul Hardcastle comparison so it must be true! That's VERY high praise in my mind.

I always oversalt the soup, so achieving a clean mix was on my mind during this one and I'm glad I managed to get there - something like this wouldn't work if it was too mushy. Thank you so much for listening!

EVERYONE thank you for taking the time to listen and comment - it means a lot to me!!

Thank you!! Keeping the bass moving is always a challenge for me (I usually default to straight 16ths) so I was happy with how this one turned out. Could use more variation, but...eh.

Woah! I'm sorry you felt compelled to listen more than once, but thank you! I was absurdly happy with the L/R pluckies.

Thank you for listening! For me, this style of EBM almost requires voice samples and social commentary.

Thanks!!

Oh wow, this is some praise for sure. This track was largely informed by Front 242 circa 1989. I always considered them on the clean side and Skinny Puppy on the noisy side of the spectrum, with Frontline Assembly and Spahn Ranch leaning 242-ward as Nine Inch Nails started there and shifted to the Skinny Puppy side starting with The Downward Spiral. But for me, the glory days of EBM were the late 80s. And now I'm instantly old.
