The future

This question is poised mostly for my DJ friends, but any music fan can throw in their input.

Where do you see the goth/industrial/synthpop scene progressing to?
Is there a genre you see rising in popularity?

Name one band that deserves to be played more. I'm always up for expanding my musical library.

The last few CD's I've picked up lately have been from DJ Micro, Christopher Lawrence, and Hybrid. I also got the new Velvet Acid Christ (quite liked it), Haujobb (so-so), and Decoded Feedback (quite liked it).

In the goth side of things at least I foresee a return to the late 70s early 80s post punk sound, that very creative time when punk and goth and death rock and synth bands swirled and overlapped. Faith and the Muse and Sunshine Blind have released albums this year with that sound featured prominently. I think it is something of a backlash against so much later 80s electroclash influence. ("No, Interpol, _this_ is what Joy Division sounded like!")

But I could be completely wrong :)

You've had a lot to say about those two albums, I'd love to give them a listen and hear what they are up to. I think the scene could use a little more variety, but I'm not ready to throw anything out of the window just yet.
