back in the early 80's, there were 3 main weekly music publications, NME, Melody Maker and Sounds.
Sounds carried a series of articles by a guy called Dave Henderson called Wild Planet that focuses mainly on the emerging industrial scene.
Here's a link to a transcript of an A-Z of difficult music that he wrote in 1983.
