[kj] OT: Filter

[B. Oliver Sheppard]

Argh. My personal, opinionated, er, opinion, is that it's bands like 
Filter, Stabbing Westward, Gravity Kills, Chemlab, etc., that made 
"industrial rock" in the 90s an embarrassing genre to dabble in and 
which led to it a lot of the demise of its potential. I'd say harder-era 
Ministry and KMFDM and/or Lard for early 90s-era Killing Joke way, way, 
way before Filter.
