"Sexy" PE/industrial/noise/etc.

[Bloated Slutbag]

Description of opening message reminds of old WB comment, that he finds it odd how much there is sexual violence & sexual dominance, anal ripping rape fantasies in extreme electronics, but how little of energic juicy sex. How little people use word cunt, for example.

That's funny, cause when I was a kid I was actually a bit embarrassed about some of the vocals on Great White Death- because the vocalist sounded to me as though he were a bit uncomfortable with his own use of pretty run-of-the-mill cusswords. "We've Got The Power" seemed a contender in this regard. I chalked it up to good old fashioned repressed Englishness. By contrast, listening in those very same years to 2 Live Crew's "S&M" - now here, here were folks who clearly relished the shit coming out of their mouths...

...even if Marquis De Brother couldn't pronounce "masochistic", heh.

More seriously now (well, maybe), any sounds with a certain fluidity- flowing, gushing, surging, spurting, squirting, dripping... pulsing gobs of hot sound spasming and contracting in shuddering waves, slamming wetly into the earhole, etc etc.

Taken too literally and we might have WB splashing around in a bathtub over cute pink noises, though the effect may be ruined slightly when a voice starts yelling "You wankers!"

Oddly enough, never found Aube terribly sexy...

(In my case preceded immediately by a track from Coil's Time Machines. Got us at rather a ripe moment too, still cracks me up to remember it. Random Play: the bane of all mood music.)

Is silence still sexy?

[Bloated Slutbag]

Silence as in "bite the pillow"? Sure. More seriously, strictly speaking, silence is just one kind of controlled ambient environment. As I kind of iterated in my previous submission, the general idea seems be the establishment of a certain more or less uniform atmosphere. "Silence" would certainly qualify here. (Though I don't think I speak only for myself when I submit that I do enjoy all the cute little noises, pink and otherwise.)

Although not intentional at all - I find Michael Idehall's work to be incredibly erotic. Very Arafna-esque, but with added emphasis on the orgasmic modular electronics.

[VelvetCurtain]

Ha, I think a lot of power electronics is inherently sexy actually. Just as much as, say, hip-hop or R n' B are when you're listening to the right stuff. Really, I'd boil it down to the right context where power electronics is being played in a situation that can be erotic or whatever. Stuff like Puce Mary is intensely sexual, if you ask me; as is, like, the fucking Rita. Frankly, this question about "sexy" PE is pretty funny because I find a lot of stuff that is so intensely referential to porn, intense sexuality, general fanatic/sensational aesthetics is often times really not sexy. I wouldn't sat that ruins the quality of the works - fuck no, the failure is quite fascinating - but certainly shows how the range of "sexy" or whatever can be done in a ton of ways and perspectives in industrial/noise music.

But most P.E. really delves into sex in some way intentional or not

[ricjaff]

Bump. Looking for more of this stuff. Something about the use of space, subdued and restrained but rising background tensions causing a wavering hallucinatory haze. Throbs and churns amongst it all; a pulse. Hard to describe past that.

*Edit - Didn't see Puce Mary was already mentioned, but her music, and that song specifically makes me want to squirm around in some fluids.
