not sure about the movie being canadian but yeah MBV is from across the pond, but SIANspheric kind of sounds like them (and IS canadian hehe), it's the closest comparison i can make.

I find it amazing that in four years only one person has mentioned Leonard Cohen and no one has mentioned Skinny Puppy or Kid Koala.

I wonder if people knew they were Canadian! It does seem kinda odd those didn't get mentioned!

personally leonard cohen bores me to tears.

skinny puppy i only heard after ministry and didn't do as much for me.

kid koala is cool, but his label mate amon tobin holds FAR more attention in my ears.

i'm kind of out of the loop now, most of my canadiana stuff is from the 90s.

I love Amon Tobin but he's not Canadian.

You can't go into Skinny Puppy expecting Ministry, it's a totally different animal. In a lot of ways I wouldn't even classify them as the same type of music. Ministry is largely about aggression. Skinny Puppy isn't, they're more about just sounding fucked up and kind of abstract. If you've never heard Last Rights or Too Dark Park I'd recommend checking out one or both of them. I think their noisier, more experimental style of music on those albums might appeal to you.

What can I say about Leonard Cohen? If you don't like him, you don't. But if you've never heard Songs of Love and Hate you may want to give it a listen before you completely rule him out.

yeah i know tobin's brazilian hehe just when i think ninja tunes it's all him hehe

as for skinny puppy i'll give them another chance.

i think i might have a cohen record somewhere i'll have to take a peak through my collection (basically stuff i salvaged from my mom's place before she put the rest up for sale). i understand that lyrically he's fantastic, i, just, can't, get, over, his, incredibly, monotonous, delivery, that, makes, william, shatner, sound, like, he, needs, ritalin.

The Tea Party were a once great Canadian group who almost had a second home in Australia where i used to reside... their first three or four albums are still amongst my most favorite albums... pity they dulled down their own diverse instrumentation formula, got stuck in rock ballad mode half the time and lost the cool bluesy edge of their "The Edges of Twlight" album...

Then they also broke up. Damn I wish they'd reform and get back to their best...

I used to chill with an Australian guy...I remember him telling me that they were pretty big back home....I never cared for them to much.
