I might sound like the most pretentious person here, but it actually MMM calms me down.
Industrial is the key word for it's after effects on an influence scale, but this seriously helped me form my opinions on how I listened to these works. On a Cinematic level, this would work great in a Future Shock film as it sounds like the breakdown of everything electronic, especially the Lock Groove - It was actually a major trend of film by the time of it's release.
Experimental Music fans of the day caught the jokes as well as saluting the fact that a major music star who decided to do a sonic FU did it in a way they can understand right in the middle of the John Denver and Boogie Rock era. Unlike George Harrison's Electronic Sound, this was a stone cold attack of sound with a bleak beauty.
Try listening to this in an abandoned building!
