Monty: Challenge Accepted
Did you know Throbbing Gristle are reactivating Industrial Records and will be releasing their back catalogue on vinyl?
www.boingboing.net/2011/06/22/throbbing-gristle-re.htmlI saw that and imagined it would be right up your alley.

You have succeeded. Good work, thanks.
They were at times unlistenable, but they were so ahead of their time. I have posted this before, but Industrial records are reputedly the only instance of a record label giving its name to a genre of music. I've thought long and hard about this and only Motown is a possible other one - but technically it's not as Motown's just a particular style of soul, innit?

If you played the man in the street a Mowtown Record and a Stax Record
he'd probably not know which was on which label, and he'd probably think they were the same sort of genre.

yeah, but if you played the man in the street a U2 record he might say it was good.
The man in the street is no indication of anything

I agree.
So unless you can think of any others the claim re Industrial Records appears to be right. I keep thinking 'surely not'.

I thought you had something there but the genre is ska and 2Tone's just a style of it, no?

I'm not certain, but I'm fairly confident that is where the name 2tone came from...
But I usually hear of Ska and 2-tone mentioned next to one another, so I'm not sure.

It is.
But it's like Motown in that you could recognise a 2Tone-style song - but the genre is ska much as Motown's just a style of soul.

I suppose you'll tell me off for pointing out that Rick Rubin's American Recordings label only produces American records

although if it was it would have stuff like Bruce Springsteen and John Mellancamp in it. by which I mean shite.

Thanks Rainier
(must find a new way of saying that)
Agreed - if American was a genre, it would be astonishingly varied in terms of quality. NIN and Justin Bieber under one tentpole.
