You could see it coming... plenty of soundscape type tracks in the industrial hardcore scene from the likes of cyctochrome c, gwal, la peste, the michelson sisters in previous years... It's definately something everyone should experience at a live gig. I have not had this pleasure yet although I have seen it on youtube (yeah, lame i know), but i'll make the effort to see a La Peste performance next time he is in the UK.
I definately like this music. I still associate it with hardcore though- as a natural progression from gabber - hardcore techno - speedcore - industrial - experimental - flashcore
