We've got an autobiographical-cum-historical Pick Five for you folks this week. What records took a while to reveal their charms to us? Which LPs were we either too provincial or too snobby to enjoy in their own time? We'll fill you in on that plus a recent show from Hide on the latest episode of We Have A Technical!

This month's WHaC is a brief but absolutely frantic run through the roller coaster of emotions, impossibly catchy hooks, and grandiose symphonic ambitions of Kite's 2011 release, "IV". The Swedish duo have transcended synthpop both in terms of sound and reach, and their fourth EP acts nexus of all their sounds and moods, and is also an ideal jumping on point. Whether you're as much in thrall of their work as the Senior Staff, or are only passingly familiar with it, join us on this month's Patreon-supoorted bonus podcast.

It's November of 2019, and even if we're not in Los Angeles you'd better believe we're not missing the opportunity to discuss Blade Runner, arguably the film with the most influence on industrial music and culture. Which samples work and which don't? How does Chew's Eye Shop relate to William Burroughs' control machines? We have all the Blade Runner-themed industrial pontificating you never knew you wanted on the latest episode of We Have A Technical!

We got a classic two album podcast for you this week, with the Senior Staff discussing the baroque technoid elegance of Architect's "Consume Adapt Create" and the chill genre pastiche of Snow In China's "Electromensch". Also: Brazilian drag queen covers of Front 242? We have you covered on the latest episode of We Have A Technical!

Navel gazing ahoy! Our recent forays into both digital and physical releases, as well as recent discussion of high-level physical reissues, has us considering the distinctions between physical and digital releases in Our Thing. Nostalgia, economics, collecting and archiving are all taken up, along with some discussion of recent sets from Physical Wash and Statiqbloom on the lastest episode of We Have A Technical!

You couldn't find records much further apart from one another in terms of mood than Aghast View's "Carcinopest" and Displacer's "Cage Fighter's Lullaby", but that's what we're working with on this week's episode of We Have A Technical. Deep genre electro-indistrial and fluidlly warming downtempo? We have you covered, along with some talk about recent Legendary Pink Dots shows and FLA reissues.

The Senior Staff have seen a hell of a lot of scene bands in their time, but even they still have their bucket list bands. This week, they're picking five acts they'd still love to see live, as well as introducing not one, but two new musical releases coming soon from the ID:UD camp. Exciting times lie ahead! Fins out all about then on this week's episode of We Have A Technical!

2003's "Damaged" by Razed In Black is the subject of this month's Patreon backed and Patreon selected We Have A Commentary. A real "call Is coming from inside the house" record, RiB's unabashed blend of goth and industrial is very much both a product of its time and the vision of one writer and producer, Romell Regulacion. As it turns out, the Senior Staff have quite varied experiences with and opinions of the record, so gear up and be ready to head back to the futurepop-shocked club floors of the early aughts.

How does A Split Second's "...From The Inside" buck that band's reputation, and is The Legendary Pink Dots' "Nemesis Online" the perfect capper to their 90s period? We have opinions, to no one's shock, in a classic two albums episode of We Have A Technical. All that plus some discussion of the just announced Dead Can Dance tour and Throbbing Gristle reissues this week!

The Senior Staff break down the anatomy of a club night on this week's episode of We Have A Technical. From format to venue to promotions to DJs to audience, what makes a club night work or fail? Plenty of discussion on that, Pharmakon, deeply obscure US EBM, and the spotted legacy of Thee Temple of Psychick Youth on the latest episode of the IDieYouDie.com podcast.
