Laibach - Rekapitulacija 1980-1984
Powerful retrospective released in 1985, and not for the faint at heart.
Just dipped my toes into that era last week. More serious listen is required. Made me delete all my Niter Ebb. That band was bullshit and an insult to the industrial movement.

Factrix / Cazazza - California Babylon - 1982
Yes! Cazazza + Genisis P. Orrige. From that came Coil and David Tibet.

Listen to the Godfathers of Industrial - KRAFTWERK
Well, that was more like EBM :nono:
But I see what you mean when listening to "Die Roboter" or especially "Radioaktivität".

That is very strange, as they didn't make any songs that fit in to the industrial genre?
Kraftwerk has similar origins as industrial music though (musique concrète), and has influenced it as they have influenced pretty much all electronic music.
The term "industrial music", originates from "industrial records" in the late 70's.

They have, they started out making what can be called "musique concrète" on their first two albums, and then went on to make EBM/synthpop by the late 70's onwards.
I do have their first two albums Kraftwerk 1 and 2, quite different from anything they made later on.
But what about Else Marie Pade?

While EBM is often inspired by industrial music, it doesn't have to be, a lot of EBM bands are as much synthpop as EBM.
But all these electro genres are a mish mash of all kinds of things, and often hard to define, this is especially true for EBM.
EBM is where all electro genres meet.

While Kraftwerk certainly was an influence on industrial, to call them 'godfathers' is more than a bit of a stretch. I would definitely call them the godfathers of techno music, no doubt. But industrial had multiple influences, including musique concrete, avant-garde, experimental, noise, etc. All with a confrontational 'punk' aesthetic. It was, first and foremost, a philosophy that the first true industrial bands excercised in everything they did. It wasn't just about the music, it was in other art forms as well.
And as far as Detroit being the 'birthplace of industrial' - ah, nope, if you're talking about Industrial music, it began in Great Britain, with Throbbing Gristle being the first true industrial group. And if you're talking about the Industrial Revolution, that began in Great Britain also.

Personally, I'd say that "Metal on Metal" from Trans Europa Express was most certainly proto-industrial.

You could also call it a mix between techno music and musique concrète.

Imo, if there ever was a 'godfather' of Industrial music, it was Pierre Schaeffer, who first developed the concept and philosophy of musique concrete. This guy was was way ahead of his time..........

Here's a great copmpilation of musique concrete, avant-garde and experimental music. Essential listening for anyone into the genre.
