When I first heard NIN in 1989, I thought they were a crap knockoff of Nitzer Ebb and Depeche Mode. (this was due to my limited knowledge at the time...) I also remember Ministry just being considered alternative rock in some circles.
It was interesting to see Die Warzau sounding so fresh and excited about where the genre would go in terms of incorporating other styles and influences. There was none of this rigidity you hear later (mainly from fans) about how to sound.
I remember wanting to move to Chicago so bad in 1990...
I remember discovering all of those bands, back when there was no Internet, just 'zines that random people published and sent out to record stores to sell - we got ours at Morninglory or Deep Groove - where we read about Specimen and Penal Colony and Nurse with Wound and oh good lord.
In '92, I went to the gothside, only because the then-boyfriend was in a couple of fairly remarkable, for the time, goth bands, but I was still listening to my beloved Nitzer Ebb. Still am. That much hasn't changed.
Man, look at Van Christie's poof-over. Spellbinding. Boys don't do that shit anymore.
