this has some potential, but let's put it into a little perspective: these kids aren't restricted by primitive technology, they can do whatever they want with a $50 laptop. one of the themes of the history of industrial music was rising complexity. you'll note that nobody sounded like 1982 in 1992, and it's because the technology expanded to give them greater opportunities to fulfil a larger vision.

so, what's the use of going back to the beginning of the reagan era and recreating the set of limitations that the musicians at the time were so happy to move beyond? there's only one answer, and it's profit.

that being said, i'd love to hear some kids decide they're going to pick up where everybody left off around the time that dwayne goettel died, with the focus on looking forwards rather than backwards. i'd eat that shit up until i vomit it back up....
