All:
I am in love with Pandora. It sucks b/c I keep having to buy all this new music. LOL
Anyhow, on my M. Ward channel the other night, there was Jose Gonzales' cover of Heartbeats by The Knife.

I really like this tune. It's got a really haunting melody. So I went searching for the original, and I discovered this strange band called The Knife. Has anyone heard these guys/gals/trannies, or know anything about them? The stuff I've seen on here is fascinating. Strange, but good in a way that won't let me stop looking for more.

What's their story? Do you like these tracks?

All I know about The Knife is they're a way-out electronica band that won a bunch of alternative music awards for their debut album "Silent Shout". I have the CD, it's weird and innovative and I like it, but not too often. I like some electronica quite a bit but this stuff isn't terribly melodic. It isn't thumping/jackhammer stuff at all, definitely intelligently done by real musicians. I can't think of a good parallel, my depth of knowledge isn't deep enough.
It is definitely interesting and a lot of folks are anxiously awaiting the second release.

Reminds me of a techno version of Hedwig and the Angry Inch (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H63jj_BQeN8&mode=related&search=). ;)

I have the Thievery Corporation (killer "band") DJ Kicks. As with everything of theirs, it's fantastic.

I haven't. The only real electroindustrial stuff I own is Teddybears. That also is addictive. The Iggy Pop one really sold me on that, but I like most of that disc.
