You HAVE to pick just one. I know it's hard as hell to narrow it down to one (esp. when his stuff is so diverse), but let's just see which one the most people vote for. This can be anything Ray worked on, not just Pig releases.
But I'm still voting for Pig. Wrecked.

Re: Favorite album
Sat, July 10, 2004 - 3:47 PMI loved him ever since I first heard him on "Nihil", but my all time favorite would be an album of his own creastion; a little album I found one day in the used section of a local CD store known as "A Poke in the Eye..." -

Re: Favorite album
Sun, July 11, 2004 - 1:08 AMwell, i'm 24 and i remember how i found out about kmfdm by seeing the video of Drug Against War on MTV... yes, that was back when they actually played music videos and more then three every half hour... not 23 hours of crap shows and 20 minutes of crap music... back then, you could see other cool bands back them like ministry, nin, manson...
anyway... that was how i found out about them... -

This is the maximum depth. Additional responses will not be threaded.
Re: Favorite album
Sun, July 11, 2004 - 1:12 AMOff topic, but my first introduction was KMFDM vs. PIG. I was looking in the idustrial section and found the cd. I bought it because I liked the pretty colors...and the art. -
-
Re: Favorite album
Sun, July 11, 2004 - 1:32 AMThats so cool that Mtv actually once played KMFDM. Especially considering how Sascha has been anti-MTV for a long time now.
My first introduction to KMFDM was just because I was lookin' to get into Industrial music and everyone said they were the best place to start. So I went to the cd store and looked for a cd by them. I bought Symbols because it was mismarked and about 12 dolalrs cheaper than the rest of their albums. lol. Yep, that was my first introduction to 'em. Prob. one of (if not the worst) disc to use to introduce someone to KMFDM. -

Re: Favorite album
Sun, July 11, 2004 - 7:27 AMMy introduction to KMFDM was my older sister. When I was 8 or so one of her friends lent her their copy of Angst and she played it so much that I finally started liking them. She never gave that CD back either. Then a couple years later, I borrowed it from her and never gave it back. Bad karma on her part?
Oh, and in reply to the initial post, my favorite Pig album is A Poke in the Eye, hands down. -

Re: Favorite album
Sun, July 11, 2004 - 9:40 AMon the KMFDM sidetrack. Whew, boy, I am old! My first KMFDM was Naive. I saw them then (1991) and later on the Money tour in 1992.
My favorite PIG is Genuine American Monster. But that's because some tracks are incredible, "Prayer, Praise, & Profit" Which make up for "Salambo" which I appreciate Ray's willingness to experiment, but it just doesn't work for me. -
-
Re: Favorite album
Sun, July 11, 2004 - 1:37 PMI love Salambo. But Salambo is really for those who like his older more experimental stuff. One Meatball comes to mind.
Kurt - I assume you have the out of print orange Naive? That really is an incredible album...fav track? -
-
Re: Favorite album
Mon, July 12, 2004 - 6:44 AMYeah. I have orange Naive. Can't believe the price it fetches on eBay.
Favorite track is (are) Virus and Liebeslied. How many times O Fortuna has been sampled in the "industrial" world? KMFDM just "forgot" to ask permission to use it and got burned :)
Since we are way off topic, can we venture even further off? Can anybody add to my short list of songs that use O Fortuna as a sample?
Liebeslied (original orange naive version) - KMFDM
Love Never Dies (part 1) - Apoptygma Berzerk
No W - Ministry -

Re: Favorite album
Fri, July 23, 2004 - 7:09 PMI'd have to say the new "Watts", Pigmartyr. If you don't have it, get it. It's worth getting from the UK via mailorder.
"Situation" and "Stage Slut" are two of my favorites from it, but it's hard to pick with an album full of great stuff. -
-
Re: Favorite album
Fri, July 23, 2004 - 7:49 PMWow...first person I've met that likes Watts over Pig. Cool. -
-
Re: Favorite album
Wed, July 6, 2005 - 1:20 PMWatts was good work, but it actually wasn't all Ray. Steve and some of the boys from Pig had worked on it. If I recall correctly, Arbor Vitate was supposed to be a PIG video as well. As far as I can tell, the whole WATTS things was an attempt at branding him into something new and more marketable. PIG has been around too long without gaining momentum to ever get anywhere. Really too bad.
It makes me a corp whore, but I think Sinsation was my favorite. I love some of the earlier experimental stuff, (Fountain of Miracles? Industrial/Gospel Fusion? Brilliant. Symphony for the Devil? Stunning in epic proportions.) but really think that the hard edged rock driven album from Nothing takes the cake as an end to end project. I really like the studio polish Trent's boys put on it.
