I reckon Oneida are the best band of the last 10/15 years

a lot of their music has a machine-like quality. psychedelic grinding and hammering machines. Kid Millions as the centrifuge.

there was a profile in Wire a few months ago

of a young Glaswegian guy who used to work as an intensive care nurse and was interested in the sound of hospital machinery and monitors. I can't for the life of me remember his name... think it might have been something like Dave Darbyshire. Any help appreciated!

  - early Simple Minds is brilliant
    
    Sons & Fascination, in particular, is a masterpiece, and well worth giving a listen if you're at all interested in the experimental side of post-punk—>new wave period.
    
    Alternatively, get hold of the Early Gold compilation, which should convince all but the cloth-eared of how good Simple Minds were in the early days. Thirty Frames a Second, for instance:

My dad heard some A Place To Bury Strangers once

and asked me why the band had decided to record the track in a heavy engineering shop and that it sounded as if there were several grinders lathes and stone cutters working in the background.
