    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.
