EBM (Electronic Body Music)

EBM is a form of music that has evolved from many different influences and today it appeals to a wide cross section of fans including those into heavy Electronic music, Techno, Goth, Metal, Industrial and Dance music.

It began with taking certain asthetics of early Industrial and some Post Punk music and amalgamating with repetitive electronic beats. Various bands throughout the 80's (especially in Europe) began to pick up on this and some band introduced guitars and gruff vocals, others put atmospheric Goth leanings onto EBM creating alternative Dance music perfect for huge soundsystems and clubs whilst still retaining a non commercial appeal. This compilation is made up of various aspects of EBM ranging from the harsh techno beats of SHNARPH! and SAM to the metallic sounds of Mindless Faith and Cubanate and through to the early melodic sounds of Front 242 and Nitzer Ebb.

If you are dubious about Dance music and it's commercial aspects then this should be the perfect antidote to that with music from a thriving uncommercial underground scene that may appeal to many of you without even realising.

I will be checking that out too. A great mix. A few names I haven't heard of and a few names missing for me (LTJ Bukem- the king of the kick bass drum) but solid enough.
