Whatever happened to Orgy?

You won't be saying that when he stops giving you the high-strength industrial crack you currently consume.

Blue Monday was a tribute to the 80's for them.

Some people need to do some -research-.

Oh.. and by the way.. if I could. I'd have sex Amir. He is really hot. Screw you all. :D

Just because they looked a little odd in the 80's means nothing. I'm sure if I was older.. I would've looked like them in the 80's most definitely!

I can respect you if you don't -like- Orgy.. but when you -rant- about Orgy.. that's just pathetic. Why don't you guys talk about freakin' Limp Bizkit.. now -there- is a band to rip on. Jeezus Chryst.

Love, Ravenna

Have any of you guys heard the rest of that eponymous Orgy record? I'm very curious, because I haven't. And you know, that "Blue Monday" cover has really grown on me. It kinda melds the worlds of poofy pop glam and the Wax Trax sound, which isn't done enough. If the rest of the album is similar in style to the "Blue Monday" cover, I'd love to hear it.

Remind me again why you're complaining in detail.

I feel much better now.

Orgy is -still- popular. They still have lots of fans. They are just not shitty mainstream like you people probably like. Ew.

Someone alert Tanya Headon. I think we found her long lost twin sister.

Yes, but you could say the same thing about bin Laden, see.

It's Raggett, two 't's, please. As to why, I think your answer actually provides part of the explanation.

I'm with Ravenna here, don't criticize people that are just making good music.

Your comments have been noted by the management.

I hope Mike Tyson eats all your children, fuckers.

Hm. I give that a 3.7.

Eh? A lot of people already did. Not me, of course. ;-)

Aw, it's so sad. Signed to a major label only six months after forming in 1997, then that nasty piracy ruined the sales of their second record. Now they want $100,000 to release two eps? GTFO

I already copped to liking them, but that's some assholery.

is it bad form or not to note all the spelling mistakes in that spiel, given that it's essentially a covering letter

a covering letter where your employers are several thousand hypothetical goths, but even so

$800 for hard drives? For real?

i was wondering the other day if vapor transmission held up, i remember loving it in middle school

i remember loving it in middle school

well there's your answer.

I got to the $25/day allotment per band/crew member and just started giggling.

"fucking you is strange"

ah shit i still love "stitches" song is dumb as hell

"fiction" oddly respectable sounding

took me seven years to follow up on this, but it... really really holds up

what finally did it was hearing "opticon" play over the valentine's day party in the slasher movie valentine, that song is a total jam

the album is a little long in a 2001 kind of way but they nail this sound throughout and nothing strikes me as bad

er, 2000 i mean

my parents were not thrilled that i was into a band called orgy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NczLNctogZk

such a rad and weird single... nu-metal's relationship with industrial rock was more implied than realized except with these guys and like contemporaneous fear factory records, but it is such a rad sound, all these weird detuned guitar lines like bending light trails through a techno-industrial cityscape.... more nu-metal should've taken from gary numan as well

iirc i requested that song at a middle school dance. i'm cool

I still dig "Stitches" a lot, especially the Green Velvet mix:

lol i found that yesterday and it fucking bangs!!!!

It showed up as a b-side to the "Blue Monday" single (which I bought) and basically made me go "no matter what else this band does, they gave me this ferocious Thing I will treasure forever"

Stitches is great. Another time capsule song for me

i would cut "chasing sirens" but only for time, not bc it's a bad song

very obsessed with this record again lol, i gradually ended up rejecting it as a teen bc the lyrics came off to me as embarrassing cyberpunk nonsense... of course now i think that's fine and good

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bm4MBbt9Dtk

THIS song should've been a single

there was also an inherent queerness in orgy's presentation + the intermittent references in the music to gender and androgyny, which may have been a total put-on but i appreciate it anyway

I just realized that I think a lot about this album. Even though I haven't listened to it in years, the lyrics will pop into my head fairly regularly. Not sure what that says about me, but it definitely left an impression.
