I still haven't seen a Garnet Mimms thread

Recent discovery of the ILM search facility leads me to the conclusion that Martin Skidmore is a fine man. More mentions of Garnet Mimms and Charlie Rich than any other poster.

Still lodged in my brain from a brief period of intense interest in obscure synthpop:

- Data (80s group masterminded by George Kajanus)

- Cosmicity (recommended to OMD fans)
- Color Theory (recommended to fans of ... um ... fluffy kittens?)
- B!Machine
and a bunch of other, admittedly less consistent, new artists on the A Different Drum label or sold through its website (www.adifferentdrum.com)

On the EBM/Industrial side of things, Daniel Myers' various bands (Haujobb, Clean, ...); fans of glitchy, minimalist techno along the lines of Farben will find A LOT to like in Haujobb's ninetynine

Does that make ten?
