I guess you can put them in the industrial thang, but they have their very unique approach and still sound awesome after almost 30 years.

A song like "Marginal". Just go youtube it. Come on thats gold.

Slow motion apocalypse is a must album; Heavy, dancey, trancey, wonderfully produced..

Loved that "Brown" cd i had back then. Would rebuy it in a second if I saw it. Mental fun samples all over it

Still have the Slow Motion LP, I've almost thrashed that one to death. Wildly inventive stuff.

This bio weirded me out a bit. https://www.discogs.com/artist/406661-Adam-Tanner Comes a time when you gotta make a buck I guess.

Brilliant band. Never really captured their live glory on record - Lars sent me his personal clean-up of Live in France some years back and, great as it sounds, you had to be there. That said, everything they put out is great in its own way.

Also bonus points for cultivating a crowd in the UK that pretty much all walked the walk. If your life in the early 90s had a leftwards activist bent, you were found in a Grotus crowd.

Enormous NC.

Nice post to hold. He's very accomplished and passionate about his bluegrass these days.

The last one "Mass" was such a huge disappointment at the time. Vinyl version currently going for all of $6 bucks on discogs

Doesnt sound all that bad now.

Still love the cover art

Luddite is an incredible ep; the kind of recording that captures a band suddenly becoming awesome and getting inspiration from the realm of magic. That final Brown reinterpretation, come on.

Whisper it, but I also prefer What in the World to Mother of Pearl.

I just found out Lars Fox, the singer, had a succesful career as a studio technician, working for the likes of Stevie Nicks, Chris Isaak, Nick Cave, Bon Jovi, Everclear...pretty impressive list.

Still does it. He very kindly gave me his personal master of Live in France when I got them all back together for a chat some years back. Always a good guy.
