That was probably me applauding their latest LP, "Headcrack".  This album
is probably less industrial than previous releases, though I have only heard
misc. cuts of older stuff on the radio.  First part of side 1 is very
meditative in a yuppy accoustic jazz sort of way, but there's usually a
backdrop of noise behind this.  Most of the songs are indeed melodic, though
there is one straight industrial basher on it (geez, how do you describe this
stuff?).  *No* dance cuts, and by golly don't you think there oughtn't be?
