Definitely give Chu Ishikawa's
Tetsuo: The Iron Man film score a look. It's a bit more on the abrasive side, but I was getting exactly the same vibes there.
Ping! *TAN TAN TAN* Hisss~ All that good stuff.
Best snapshot track is possibly the characteristically tersely-titled
"MG;" straight outta the periodic table, I'm guessing. Winds up a little slowly, then all fucking hell breaks loose in a bleakly pulverising barrage; giving the floorboards a good kicking as I type this, funereally catchy, mournfully stomping
Oh yeeeeah, that's going straight into the cogitation playlist - man / machine sounds for solving man / machine problems
I'm reminded of Skaven's
Cannon Angel module; it has that foundry floor vibe, but with a bit of melody and choice 90s sampling that pencils in some wartime industrial hangar detail.
There's a charm to its oddly-oragnized tracker format too, like paging through the Sound Test of a
Battle Greg (Amiga) (1997) (Unlicensed).adf that tragically never was; intro track, stage track, stage track, boss loop. WTB!

Movie's a hell of a trip too; I recommend it, but advisories should be made for some pretty buggered content.
I still regret springing Ninja Scroll on you without warning, it wasn't deliberate, I'd just become inured to its comparable Wrongun Power Level over the years.
Quite possibly worth a look just for the sheer craftsmanship of its mad Niho-Lynchesque. (reminds me as much of Czech master Jan Svankmajer, tbh)
Ah, think nothing of it
my reactions may be animated, but it belies a hardy appreciation for shock and subversion!
I look back fondly on Ninja Scroll - and various other enumerations on the necrofeudal - as a welcome break from regular anime drudgery. My kingdom for escape from the set of inoffensive tropes played out with different paperdolls
Tetsuo sounds rad - I have to respect the horror acumen that comes with having all but two of your crew bail by the end of filming!
Though still, good call; that's a veritable grab-bag of
For Advanced Kid components. Cronenberg and creepy stop-motion already cut an intimidating figure, and the Nihon modifier then some
I'll have to steel myself and cue it up for next movie night; eXistenZ was quite tractable BITD, and the last year and a half (blimey, time flies when you're waffling about games) of film has proven most alloying.
even mean, though?!
