Yes, in a mixmag issue of 99, Liam said he was a big fan of massive attack. (and explained then the next prodigy album will be more deep Huhuhuh)

I think the ministry thanx in the MFTJG is the ministry of sound actually, not Jourgensen's band.

All bands on dirtchamber are real influences, as back to mine comp. But NIN, and Skinny Puppy?! I don't think so...
Krafwerk: certainly not! In an old itw, Liam said he has lot more repsect for Led Zepelin that those 4 guys behind their computers, and they are real influence for him- not the german.

sure I've always been thinking that most fans and musicians state Kraftwerk as influence just because the myth that if you're into electronic music you gotta love Kraftwerk. bullshit

and yeah The Specials and Massive Attack! I can add the 70s funk scene, old soundtracks, obviously the 80's break and electro and definitely classic rock bands like The Who, Zeppelin, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Shocking Blue and The Stooges

I like kraftwerk and afrika bambataa thought they were good enough to sample
