Test Dept Gdansk

Thanks so much for posting this. I remember clearly the night was broadcast - it was my first exposure to industrial music and I was fascinated.

Dziękuję wam za ten gest!

[@jpascalj]

Wow.... this video was my fav of Test department. The music at that period was phenomenal... The industrial movement was really something! thanks for sharing that classic!

[@heshter]

That's the stuff, thanks !

[@lemontarsier]

Way back when, I heard they performed live with Diamanda Galas. That must have been amazing and brutal.

[@montsetse]

in the decade of brittany and lame rap its refreshing to hear brutal kaos! thanX

[@eyebandmusic]

Awesome - gosh I wish this was available in high quality! So sad so much of the early real industrial music is so poorly preserved. Though in a way it kind of adds to the raw deconstructing charm of it all. lol. Thanks for posting!

[@STANDOFF113]

Awesome.

[@VoiceOverBerlin]

Why's the audio so quiet? This should be LOUD!!!

[@jazzzamars]

pure industrial video

[@coy0te9]

I had this on the miners strike fund raiser lp with the Welsh miners choir. I didn't like it at the time and let a friend talk me into giving it to them for a birthday present.

Poss official release of bootleg recording in pipeline

[@satellitic]

@ash23neuro Back to school you really know absolutely nothing, go listen to the integity of SPK with 'metal dance' fave of the teeny bop paper 'Record Mirror'

[@satellitic]

@andywhorehall How did you deduce that, you really are talking crap!

[@ash23neuro]

They copycated SPK. Nice video tho.

[@SulciCoilective]

you're kidding, SPK fused industrial with Eurodisco, ugh!

[@Neurozumim]

@@SulciCoilective No, originally SPK was a standout true industrial band. But it's really dismissive to accuse Test Dept. of copycatting when they have explored so many interesting avenues musically. I don't think anyways that a music genre should stop at one band generating it. There are so many rock bands, hip hop acts, why should there only be a handful of original industrial bands? It's a genre. I would love if more bands today were using extensive percussion sets as Test Dept. did, their concerts were amazing.

[@malonemuert]

And both of them copied Einstuerzende Neubauten.
