Welcome to life after the apocalypse.

 

It's OK to have fun and smile.

 

The nightmare vision that Industrial music based its nihilism on is a future that is not happening.  The cold war is over.  The biggest obscenity the country has going for it is its ridiculous "war on drugs" and the irresponsible media’s constant attempt to score ratings from sensationalist propaganda rather than factual reporting.  The music went to hell shortly after the wall fell and the eMpTV generation took hold of it.  Now they whine to copied melodies.  There are alternatives.  There is still sonic innovation occurring.  There are a few decent things coming out here and there and the new tribal noise from the Power Electronics scene is nice but the people now pushing their gear to do more than it was ever meant to do are the producers of Psychedelic Trance.  There are positives and negatives in any scene.  It is my hope that we may blend the strengths of both as they move ever forward in the same direction to eventually merge into one.

 

For those of us who have moved on, we have a new way.  We have learned to love and play together.  We embrace the hippy we once shunned.  We dance together and we celebrate this wonderful gift we have: Life.  We prefer to celebrate this existence with music.  We no longer run from the sun for it has strong healing powers.  We occasionally play with fire, but are prepared for the consequences.  Communing with nature is important.  Diversity is wonderful. 

 

See you on the dance floor.
