Once again I have a cassette version only of an album by a group called Manufacture. Anyone have the track "Passion for the Future"??

Manufacture's _Terrorvision_ is an excellent, late 80s Wax Trax-esque record (but on Nettwerk, then the Wax Trax of the Great White North.) Sarah McLachlan does a great lead vocal on "As the End Draws Near." I've always thought she missed her calling as a singer for a synthpop band.
Anyways, "Passion For the Future":

Enjoy. |

AWESOME! Yes, the whole album is great, but I first heard that song many moons ago and bought the tape. It's stuck with me and I wanted it digitally.
Thanks again.
You wouldn't also happen to have Wire's, Drill: In Every City would you? |

Bah! Nettwerk were cooler than WaxTrax! in my opinion, although maybe it has something to do with my Vancouver ties  . Their album covers were cooler anyways. |

Nettwerk vs Wax Trax sounds like a great NWO thread.
I agree completely re: Nettwerk's album covers--they were always distinctive without being similar; futuristic and "industrial" without being simply cheesy sci-fi retreads.
At the time, I was more of a Wax Trax fan, although I bought everything I could from both labels. As I think about it, tho, I probably listen to the Nettwerk bands more often, notably Moev, Severed Heads, Manufacture, Skinny Puppy, and possibly my fave nettwerk band, Single Gun Theory. I still love the Wax Trax stuff, but in recent years I've found I'm no longer unfailingly devoted to the Cult of Jourgensen.
Neither label did well in the 90s, tho--Nettwerk changed to an all-McLachlan catalog; Wax Trax dragged on into bankruptcy and mediocrity. Sic transit gloria mundi...

Holy cow--I thought I was the only one who knew about that Manufacture song with Sarah McLachlin on it! JK!
Anyway, having lived in the Pacific NW, I am also more into Nettwerk's stuff. They had some great artists---I'm a big fan of early Skinny Puppy, Moev, Severed Heads, and ESPECIALLY Single Gun Theory ! Wax Trax was cool, too, but Nettwerk was more "my" label, ha ha.
Anyway, thanks for sharing.

| Nettwerk was big in Chicago, even in the shadow of Wax Trax. In addition to the early SKinny Puppy, I also loved The Tear Garden. |
