Can anyone out there fill me in? Sounds like you're refering to Einsterzende Neubauten. They are indeed from Germany. Their name means "collapsing new buildings" and that's exactly what they sound like sometimes. :-) Some of the "instruments" they play include banging a steel pipe on an overpass wall, and a hospital heart monitor. I have one of their albums, and last week I picked up their new single but I don't remember seeing the name "Industrial Dance" on it. The single is much more musical than anything on the album I have. They played on the single version of "Collapsing New People" by Fad Gadget, where their pile-driver sound fits in nice when there is music to go with it.
