'''Lab Report''' was an improvisational, [[dark ambient]], band created by [[Matthew Schultz]], Eric Pounder and Chris Blazen in 1989. The experimental project gained notoriety as one of the earliest [[dark ambient]] musical projects stemming from the [[Industrial music]] genre.<ref name=Industrial_Revolution>[Thompson, Dave (1994) ''The Industrial Revolution'', LA CA, Cleopatra Pub, pg. 61, {{ISBN |0-9636193-0-6}}.]</ref>

==History==

The Chicago-based experimental band was signed to [[Invisible Records]] in 1990 and released four CDs with that label. The band became notable for their use of the sculptural dulcimer instrument known as the A.T.G. or [[Anti Tank Guitar]] created by [[Matthew Schultz]].<ref name=New_York_Times>[https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9E0CEEDF1F30F932A15751C1A964958260&scp=4&sq=pigface&st=nyt New York Times]</ref> Lab Report membership had always been in rotation with special guests including [[Genesis P Orridge]], [[Lydia Lunch]], [[Chris Connelly (musician)|Chris Connelly]], Jonny Polonsky, Chris Blazen, Becky Allen, Kerry Simonian, Derek Frederickson, Tom Slattery, Dan Burke and more.
