Heartland

Are any heartlanders into EBM? Goth and Industrial have a long history if friendship, but most heartlanders seem a bit too 'old school' to be interested in all this bleepy nonsence.

Anyway, this is not a EBM bashing thread, I'm just curious.

It also leads onto the question of will anyone be at VNV Nation on the 23rd?

What do you mean "old school" ? EBM started in the mid-80s IIRC, so that's not exactly new school.
There are some eletro-heads around here. Can you guess who they are ?
But I wouldn't necessarily describe the goth/indus (which is different from EBM BTW) relationship as one of "friendship". I remember some dark-whatever events where it was quite hard to please the two contingents at the same time. Skinny Puppy was a consensus choice, but there wasn't so many of them.

I realise that their is a difference betwenn trad industrial and electronic body music!

Of course its often hard to please 2 different crowds, but they do play togther in the same sandpit.

Anyway...I'm not sure I can guess the electro-heads (I love the way you put it!).

I started out listening to electro/EBM when I was about 11-12 so I have a few albums in the shelf.
It started with DM, Kraftwerk and DAF then groups like Front 242, Nitzer Ebb and Front Line Assembly took over.

Glow sticks bring me out in a rash!!!

Yep (in answer to the first question). How dare you generalise about the state of HLers!

Unfortunately what cash I have will disappear in Amsterdam the week before VNV play, which is a bummer as they were bloody stonking in Sheffield last year (or was it this year). Have fun, it's hard not to. Jolly nice chaps too, bless.

Bzzzzzzzzz...

i like the old wave: DAF, Liaisons Dangereuses, Nitzer Ebb, Front 242, Skinny Puppy, Frontline Assembly, Orange Sector
and their child - Prodigy
and, of course, i like Scooter, but i'm not much into their new school EBMed clones kinda Funker Vogt etc. (Gerrit Thomas drinks beer with cola - crazy)
i'm too old for listening to them

Yeah. Haven't listened to it so much lately, but looking at my CD racks reveals Front 242, Front Line Assembly, Kraftwerk, Nitzer Ebb, Die Krupps, Numb, Terminal Power Company etc.

what the hell is EBM. Electronic body music ??

That's what the belgian pioneers FRONT242 were doing years ago

Uh uh. Front invented the name, if not the genre.
EBM also means electro belge moustachue. At least in my sick little mind.

Yup, but Front were/are better

(you ken, I HAVE to say this because Richard 23 and Daniel B 'd finish me off if I didn't )

IZ.

I am too

Seen Front 242 live countless times usually great shows.

Everything from Skinny Puppy PRIOR to Rabies, Nitzer Ebb, DAF etc...

Dunno if you throw early Yello in there as well.

Looks like the lass in the background is about to lamp someone. Possibly me.

Where's the pic from Si? Mixing Tin at WiJ? I guess these places all look the same.

Actually I am quite partial to a little EBM/techno goth/whatever its called,but after about an hour of, what sounds like the same track, I'm ready to stick the guilty DJ's pseudo-techno wank up his stupid arse.
Most EBM is abject bollocks.If I wanted rave I'd go to a rave and not a goth night.And you can stick your glow-sticks,wooly wigs,goggles and spandex up your arse.Cyber goths are wankers who are too old/fat/frightened to get into proper techno.
And as for all those bands that sound like Depeche mode?FFFS!!!!

EBM IS DEAD,FACT! And good bloody riddance,I say!!!!


Thanks for listening.None of this applies to Covenant,VNV nation,XPQ21 or Front 242 who make exceptionally fine music

You mean the armour? I guess James, being a good scottsman, has a set of Golf putters somewhere.. A driver would do the job, I´d say.

The only electronic music I really listen to is Krautrock, minimalism, 80s synthpop, James Ray's stuff, and anything Genesis P-Orridge releases.

Ultravox, Rage In Eden
One of the best synthpop album ever if you ask me.
