> > Oh well, we still have Nurse With Wound. Any Swan fans out there? > > -michael I really don't understand why people consider Those Swans part of the industrialization of music movement. Really! Hyper-compressed guitars sound to me more like early Gang of Four and Big Black than E.N. or C.V. A note of historical interest to some: The Caberet Voltaire was the place of origin of the anti-art DADA movement. It is said that the DADA movement at its inception was nihilist, anti-art,anti-war and only later did the establishment label it as art. Any takers for a Swans discography??

Note that the Cabaret Voltaire he's talking about is the original French(?) club by that name, (circa 1910-20), not the present musical group. As far as a Swans discography, as far as I know there are only 2 records, an LP (Filth) and an EP. If there is more, I'd like to know about them.
