Bad Brains, At the Movies from Rock For Light (1983).
Bad Brains at the Roxy Club July 1987 (Photos by Frank White).
It is a tragedy that this is not credited.
I saw these guys live and it was a phenomenal experience, The cellist is called Abel Selaocoe and the band is Chesaba, which includes a percussionist and bassist.
They are all incredibly talented and charasmatic on stage. If they are ever in your part of the world, go see them!
Here is the full performance of this piece

On November 15, 1889 there was the Proclamation of the Republic in Brazil through a coup. During the next 5 years Brazil was governed exclusively by the military and the period is considered a dictatorship.
We were born, as a republic, as a dictatorship.
From 1937 to 1945 we had another dictatorship, that of Getúlio Vargas, who was nicknamed Father of the Poor and Mother of the Rich. He is a controversial figure in Brazilian history because, despite being a dictator, he was and still is very popular. So much so that years later he was democratically elected and governed the country from 1951 to August 24, 1954, when he committed suicide.
Something I find very interesting about Getúlio Vargas is the letter he wrote, which gave his death a grandiose tone, like a hero who dies in a Greek tragedy. He portrayed himself as a martyr. In his words, "Nothing remains except my blood. I gave you my life, now I give you my death. I choose this way to defend you, for my soul will be with you, my name shall be a flag for your struggle.(...) Serenely, I take my first step on the road to eternity and I leave life to enter History."
Then there was the Military Dictatorship, which began on April 1, 1964 with the support of the United States of America, with the justification that they were protecting the country from the communists. It was a dark and violent period, marked by the loss of rights, torture, persecution, censorship. It lasted until 1985.
In less than 100 years Brazil has gone through three Dictatorships, none as inhuman and violent as the most recent one. And people ask for it back. They extol torturers as if they were heroes. I will never understand this. I will never accept that the first president elected by the people after Dilma, who fought against the dictatorship and was tortured, is the same man who said that Ustra, a torturer, was a hero.
But that's not the point. What I really want to talk about is the music produced in 1964-1985.
Cálice (Chico Buarque and Milton Nascimento).
“Pai, afasta de mim esse cálice”, translated to “Father, take from me this chalice” is a reference to a biblical passage.
Cálice sounds exactly like “Cale-se”, so the phrase is "pai, afasta de mim esse cálice" traduzido para “father, take from me this shut up”. A great pun, in my opinion. Here the “shut up” refers to oppression and censorship.
About the singers: both were censored several times during the Dictatorship. Buarque was exiled and Milton Nascimento was unable to see his son for almost 20 years, if he contravened these orders the military would kill his son.
Pra não dizer que não falei das flores (Geraldo Vandré)
This song is an invitation to popular revolt. No one was going to overcome oppression by carrying flowers. The idea of "peace and love" does not make a revolution. It does not prevent people from being tortured and killed. Geraldo Vandré also opted for exile. Fleeing the country was safer than staying.
"Along the fields there is hunger Even with abundant plantations And in the streets, Streams of doubtful people Who still take a flower As the strongest symbol of their convictions People who still believe that Flowers can put down the rage of guns
Come on, let's go away Because it's not wise to be waiting for The wise does not let the chance pass by He never waits for it to come
We see armed soldiers Some of them were ever loved, others were not Most are equally lost Holding a gun in hand In the headquarters, they are taught of That old pretty lesson 'To die for the sake of the Land' But to go on without an opinion"
Mosca na Sopa (Raul Seixas)
Raul Seixas wrote this song to mock the Military Dictatorship. He represented himself as the fly, because he always bothered the military. Raul Seixas was tortured and exiled.
“I am the fly that landed on your soup I am the fly that got here to abuse you I am the fly that landed on your soup I am the fly that got here to abuse you I am the fly that landed on your soup I am the fly that got here to abuse you I am the fly that disturbs your sleep I am the fly that is flying around in your room I am the fly that disturbs your sleep I am the fly that is flying around your room And don't even bother coming to kill me Cause I'm resistent even to DDT Because you kill one and then another one comes to replace me”.
There are many other songs, but I made this text without planning and I wanted to post it soon. Maybe I'll put others later. The translations of the lyrics of the songs were taken from internet sites, which I consider safer sources than I do.
I wonder how many people realize that we wouldn't have most of the genres of electronic music we have today without black people, and what it says about that when you consider how much various electronic musical disciplines are more often associated with white people.
If it weren't for funk, jazz, soul, disco, dub, dancehall, and more, we wouldn't have house, techno, drum and bass, UK garage, even most forms of industrial dance music.
If you've ever enjoyed a song by Machine Girl you are morally obligated to listen to the entirety of Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
op you're right but also
I've been getting a lot of responses like this and at this point I find it kind of annoying and borderline infantalizing? Like yes, black music was stolen and commodified countless times over and is the bedrock of almost all modern genres of music. I'm a black musician. I'm intimately aware of this.
The reason I focused on electronic music specifically is because no one ever talks about it. The theft of rock n' roll is softened by celebrated legends such as Jimi Hendrix and Slash and Little Richard, and the visibility of the story in general. Hip-hop's story of capitalist exploitation of poor black men and enforcement of toxic standards of masculinity and white appropriation is softened by hip-hop made by black people being a culturally dominating force for the last 30+ years, and a concentrated effort by black artists to use the genre to platform black artists and issues first. Ska getting gentrified into ska punk is softened by ska punk sucking ass in comparison. Electronic music does not get the same redemption story.
Quick, without using Google, can you name a black electronic music artist? Do you know who Juan Atkins is? Phuture? Mr Fingers? When you think of acid, do you think of black people in the clubs of Chicago or white english people at raves in London? When you think of jungle, do you think about the African and Carribean diaspora in the United Kingdom drawing on dub and dancehall tradition to make some of the most futuristic sounding music in history, or do you think of white people recycling the same beats over and over again set to PS1-style cover art?
House music, the closest living relative to disco, which was a black genre of music MURDERED by reactionary white rock music fans, is more associated with two fucking white dudes from France than ANY black person in the minds of most people.
Do you know the name of the man who played the Amen break?
I'm not mad at you in particular, I'm just frustrated. The totality of black suffering can be overwhelming, yes, but it shouldn't sweep over the specifics when black people want to focus on them. Let me be pissed off about Daft Punk making more money than Frankie Knuckles ever did, please.
Actually y'know what? I'm using this opportunity to plug my shit. Listen to this song, I'm still really proud of it.
someone asked me a while ago to make a playlist of sámi music because I’d shared some and they liked it but I forgot to do it because I was on vacation so here it is very late i’m so sorry!!!
i’ve tried to include both more traditional and modern music. there’s some yoik, for example Máze (both the more modern version by ISÁK and the older one by Mari Boine that makes me cry lol) the sámi village Máze was planned to be flooded for the building of the Alta hydroelectric power plant that resulted the alta conflict in the 70s and 80s and the yoik has been used a lot during the ongoing Fosen case with the illegal wind power plants built on sámi land. There’s also a lot of songs with a bit of yoik in them/yoik influences and some 80s pop (Alla Hearrá Guhkkin Oslos which is also half in norwegian and is a song about language politics) and modern pop and indie music!
Yoik is a traditional type of singing that’s mostly sounds, with occasional words or short sentences, you’ll probably recognize it in a lot of this music when you notice how it sounds. It’s very beautiful to me it’s meant to represent what’s being yoiked, you don’t yoik about something, you yoik something (a person, place, animal, etc) so a bird yoik would be showing the energy and personality of the animal through the sounds and rhythm and tempo. People here make fun of it a lot because they think it sounds weird but it’s really beautiful ❤️
first song is iddjagiedas by mari boine because it’s my favorite song, please listen all the way through it keeps getting better and better and it gives me goosebumps towards the end

2020s Industrial/EBM & Friends
Hi all! I decided to go ahead and make a Spotify playlist of current artists in the industrial/EBM [and adjacent] scene. I am very tired of stumbling onto countless threads of people saying that industrial music is "dead." It is in fact currently experiencing an incredible booming renaissance! So here is a place where one could hopefully get started.
The requirements for this playlist are simply
Must be within the industrial/EBM scene or close enough to count by my own standards. Trying to avoid anything too far off, so keeping "sibling" genres to a minimum (for example, darkwave or aggrotech), but obviously the genre has evolved very much over the decades and there is still plenty of fusion and diversity in sound!
Must have released new music since 2020 or onwards. This playlist is a combination of older artists who are continuing to release new music (such as PIG and IAMX) as well as brand new artists who have just begun their career with debut EPs (such as Normal Bias and FUEDAL). The only requirement is making new music from 2020 to present; this isn't about new bands per se, just currently active ones. I would like to keep updating this playlist as time goes on and more artists release new work, but that may end up being a time commitment larger than I can promise, so no guarantee on that. But hopefully!
One song per band. This is just to keep things consistent. I wanted to pick a song for each band that's either somewhat popular so as to give an idea of what they're doing that's catching people's attention, and/or a personal preference of my own that I think is cool and worth checking out, lol. Order doesn't matter at all, you can shuffle it as much as you like.
While artists from all backgrounds are featured and I want to make an active effort not to tokenize, I did try to include a wide range of diverse artists, with numerous artists of color, female artists, queer artists, neurodivergent artists, etc on this list.
A few other preemptive Q&As:
"[x] band I like isn't on here!"
I am absolutely, 100% confident I have missed more bands than I can even fathom, this is a massive genre and this playlist is in no way whatsoever meant to be comprehensive. I definitely want this playlist to continue to evolve over time. I also admittedly may have not included a band because I just don't really personally care for them enough, or because I didn't feel like they quite fit the sound I was thinking of here. Feel free to send me an ask if you feel like I'm missing something important, and even if I'm not huge on a band, if it seems like they're high in demand I might add them for posterity, lol.
"[x] band isn't real industrial"
Again, this genre has evolved massively since its formation in the 70s. We all know that. I don't really care about splitting hairs too much when it comes to genres; I'm basing this on the scene as it's currently evolved, the community surrounding it (including who these bands play with and the festivals booking them), the cited inspirations and self identification of the bands themselves, and if I personally would be able to sleep at night if I called them industrial in casual conversation, LMAO. I also consider fusion genres a very important part of the life and evolution of a genre, so industrial hip hop, industrial metal, and the likes all make some appearances.
"Spotify sucks"
Yeah. Agreed entirely, cannot argue with you there. But this is the easiest avenue I know of to make a decent, accessible playlist for a wide variety of listeners. Please do check out these artists offsite, follow them on Bandcamp or their other social media sites, buy their music and merch, etc. Unfortunately this also means that many artists who are not on Spotify aren't featured here, which sucks, since there are some absolutely amazing industrial bands coming out of Bandcamp right now who deserve recognition. Here is a link to the "industrial" tag on Bandcamp if you want to dive deeper.
Hopefully at least a few people can get something out of this!!
