Consequence
Volition

Sometimes I think at least a quarter of the CDs in my collection consists of fading monuments to bands long since forgotten, even by fans of industrial and related musics. The artists were obscure when they released their CDs, and time (and the likely death of the band) hasn't helped their popularity or critical acclaim. Consequence is one of those bands, although I was pleasantly surprised to see that their Web site appears to still be active. In fact, I wrote to them to find out whether their other releases are still available for purchase.

If there were an industrial version of VH1, they'd produce a "Where Are They Now?" show and try to find bands like Construggle Test, Absent Minded, ECM, Pygmy Children, and dozens of others. Come to think of it, that's not a bad idea for a blog...
