according to "EBM - Electronic Body Music" i'd call it "EBSM - Electronic Body and Soul Music"
appropriate?

Witty, at least.

"IGM - Industrial Groove Machine."

Erm, wasn´t it Electronic Beat Music?
At least I´m sure it was when the term was introduced 15 years ago..

is it goth?

Most people say Electronic Body Music, AFAIK, so I guess that's the one...

IZ.

Whenever I´m sure...

EBM = Electronic Body Music (not even a genre but a invention of the band Front 242, they described there music this way and since then all copycats use the name EBM )

Sisters:
I’m not good in naming genres but just as in the above example The Sisters First & last & always was a blueprint for all the Gothic rock bands around. (I like the genre so I’m not complaining about this one )
Floodland = ? no idea but no one has attempt to copy it that I’m aware of
Vision thing = maybe early rock based Nu metal?

Most synth goth bands have tried to copy Floodland.

they didn't try very hard

EBM = Excrement, Boring, Monotonous

Stop Stop. This is going to get silly.

The Sisters of Mercy are a Gothic Rock band.

They helped invent the genre, they can't escape it.

FALAA and pre FALAA was pure undiluted Goth.
Floodland was a template for a new and bombastic Gothic Rock.
Vision thing, by merit of the drum machine, vocals, lyrics and over all feel is also a Gothic Rock album, easily. Even if it does lack on twangy geetar bits.

*sigh*

Sorry about that, but I had to let it out.

Electronic Body Music is entirely different, a sort of industrial/synthpop/dark techno fusion. As far as I'm aware the sisters didn't really touch any of these particular styles.

Who wants to talk about futurepop?

NOOO

your right about the Gothic rock thing but I don't think tried to make Gothic rock records, they just ended up like that

Once more we agree Blasty
EBM is Techno for girls.

And the Sisters of mercy are Post-punk alternative dark rock BTW.

Or Gothic rock for short

Er Floodland and the The gift could be described as having aspects of those genres and was certainly instrumental in bringing industrial/synthpop into the,previously,guitar based goth scene.

listen to DAF first

"Flood I" sounds for me like Front 242
i mean, in the part, no copying etc., don't p*ss me off

'dark' is a too goth word
Andrew even refused to get interviewed by Russian magazine "Dark City"
i'd better say gloomy or mopey
but this definition is quite exact
or '80s cold rock'
goes for all those so called 'goth' bands using chorus, delay, much reverb and so on

We won't agree, why bother?

I always thought about the Sissies as a 'new wave band'.

Simple as that. Next to The Cure and Siouxsie.

IZ.

I will resist...
