Fucking hell - that really sounds like...

Darned cockwombles.
Was listening to one of the early Triple Six Mafia songs last week ('From Da Back'), and by God the beat sounds like something Goblin might have done for Dario Argento. Almost identical textures...really got quite excited about it. Ahem.

Anyway, what similar experiences have others had, where links suddenly appear between genres/scenes/artists that defy prediction?

Listening to Godflesh the other day (specifically the Streetcleaner album) and I couldn't help but notice the similarity to a lot of dubstep. And not just the half-step tracks... A lot of Godflesh uses breakbeats, some even hinting at 2-step rhythms. While it's highly likely that there is very little influence on your average dubstep tune from Doom/Metal, it does get me thinking about Distance and The Bug (who was even a collaborator with JK Broadrick from Godflesh - check out Techno Animal) and how their metal leanings in the past have influenced their sound. Interesting...
