Anyway, how come you did a complete turn around when it comes to appreciating their music? I remember you did the same with Throbbing Gristle. Is there something in industrial music that turns you off on the first hearing? And what is it that still draws you to it, despite initial disliking?
It's not with just Industrial music. It also happened with The Velvet Underground and Jimi Hendrix (although, with Hendrix it was more of a dismissal). I hated V.U. so much because I thought it was poorly recorded and pretentious.

I don't know why I do it, but all I know is that I'm working on fixing it. The music just begins to stick with me after a while, and I end up going back to explore it.

Strangely enough, Hendrix, VU, and Throbbing Gristle are among my favorite musicians.
