For the music sector of this journal .... It is my obligation and show of respect to post this hard working group of artist's who have really grown and were a cornerstone of the post modern industrial rock sound. They have put together so many fine piece's of work ...I wouldnt know where to start, but just selected a couple of my favourite's here. At the invitation of band member's in the early 1990's, I and my buddy Greg(RIP), spent time with the group after a concert tour here in Dallas aboard their tour bus, which was really nice ...a large style coach bus, with all the accomodation's of an apartment ...on wheel's you can say .... over some drink's and small chat in the wee pre-dawn hour's. They were a very politically aware group and very interesting to say the least....and most friendly and warm as anyone I have ever met ...sincerly.
For the record .... KMFDM formed in Germany back in 1984 .... and early in their movement relocated to Seattle,WA USA. Their music and message is strongly politically influenced. They have a wide range of style's that they have worked with as well over the year's .... which I will post these two particular piece's to display that. This first piece is from the "UAIOE" cd/album released in 1989 called "Ganja Rock" .... Enjoy!
KFMDM- Ganja Rock ... Thanx to ZHALT123
This next piece is called "Drug against War" from their 1993 cd/album called "ANGST" ... Thanx to THEFOURTHSURVIVOR

Are these guys actually German? The music reminds me of Rammstein a bit.
ReplyDeleteGreg and I were with 3 member's of the group, they were German's and spoke very good english as well even though accented,you know they worked with Ministry and some other's I knew from the Thrill Kill Kult, and other WaxTrax group's as well.But I cant recall the town off hand they were out of , of coarse this was way back when Rammstein was first forming which was if I recall correctly 1994 when Rammstein formed, KMFDM formed in 1984.I would think that Rammstein probably got a little influence from them. I have some Rammstein music I got from a buddy on the West Coast,several year's back ...they are really a tight band as well! This group here ... we must have spent 3 hour's or more talking and they were very politically motivated...I mean ...that's like all we talked about.... real warm personality as well, very hospitable ...which seem's to be a custom of sort from the German's I have met and talked to. I never been to Germany though, would love to go some day. BTW .... I also met the "Scorpions" also bred and homebased in Germany.
