Qui peut douter, à la revue de ces images d'archives, des moments d'extrême bravoure insufflée par Front 242 dans le visuel accompagnant la musique électronique du 20ème siècle (et au-delà) ?
Ce qui est assez dingue, c'est de voir comment tous ces groupes précurseurs de toute la musique electronique, ont été oubliés et "snobés". Demande à un DJ s'il connait F242, NITZER EBB, CABARET VOLTAIRE, ect... NON. Il ne connaitra même pas l'histoire de sa propre musique. AU mieux il va te dire "KRAFTWERK" sans même avoir écouté, juste pour faire bien. Lamentable & Pitoyable. Le reflet de nos sociétés amnésiques et consuméristes.

When I was 16 years old, a YOUTH-CLUB !! This was 1 of my FAVS !!!!! you must set the VOLUME VERY LOUD !! OR It has NONE EFFECT !!!! I'm a FULL RETRO OLD GUY !!!! Even I'm YOUNG !!
Ca fait plaisir à entendre ! J'y étais aussi. Grand fan de 242 déjà à l'époque j'avais eu le sentiment que le public en majorité ne comprenait pas trop ce qui ce jouait devant eux.
30 years ago, Belgium act FRONT 242 coined the term “EBM - Electronic Body Music - to describe the musical of their second album “No Comment” (Another Side/1984), inspired by a variety of artists such as Suicide, Throbbing Gristle, Cabaret Voltaire, Kratwerk, Wire or Joy Division. In a similar fashion to the germano-hispanic combo Liaisons Dangereuses or D.A.F., the band distilled a blend of disjointed electronic bass lines, steep minimalist rhythms and mechanical vocals chanted with a martial attitude, perfectly succeeding at the time to encompass and blend icy cold wave with disco groove on an industrial background. The original EBM (which, when I was a teenager, was called “Techno Music”) raged all over the 80’s indie clubs. Chrislo Haas's productions made the genre evolve towards more hard and rhythmic sounds. But it started to lose its appeal with the arrival of the more commercial sounding New Beat (1988) and the more aggressive “Aggrepo” (1990). Although, around 1987, English duo “Nitzer Ebb” carried the torch with panache, signing its album “That Total Age” on Mute Record and, just like Front 242 had done before them, landing a spot as opening act for a Depeche Mode tour. At the same time when electronic music reached the masses in the mid 90’s rave parties, the domination of machines in FRONT 242 music started to wane with the introduction of guitars and drum kits as early as 1993. Disappointed, the bulk of their fans felt betrayed by those changes and the arrival of US crossover bands from Chicago and Wax Trax label (Ministry, Revolting Cocks, NIN) or Vancouver/Canada (Skinny Puppy, Front Line Assembly). Totally hackneyed since the end of the 90’s following the appropriation of the EBM name by unscrupulous German record labels which flooded the market with increasingly mediocre bands producing cliché dark-techno-trance soup (VNV Nation, Suicide Commando, Combichrist...), the genre was eventually totally discredited in the eyes of purists. Like me, many of them turned to french producers such as Thomas P. Heckmann, The Hacker, Terence Fixmer, David Carretta, Millimetric, Gesaffelstein, Maelstrom, all emerging from the Techno scene and who remained faithful to the European roots of electronic music in general and EBM in particular. Now totally ruined by thousands of retarded bands eructing stupid onomatopoeia over bass lines heard thousands of times, the EBM genre has wilted over the first decade of the century, losing both its futurist and visionary aspects to turn into some low-end electro-punk for beer drinkers in Doc Martens. At the dawn of yet another revival from deep USA (Youth Code, High Functioning Flesh, //Tense//) let’s render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's: EBM is essentially Front 242, DAF, early Neon Judgement, Absolute Body Control and Nitzer Ebb! All the others bands are just pale imitations or pure plagiarism of their aforementioned elders.

Interesting reaction. In my opinion there is such as 'Old Skool EBM' and (nowadays) EBM. And for the record: Altough Suicide Commando is under contract at Berlin based Out of Line records, they are a genuine Belgian band from Leopoldsburg. Their frontman Johan van Roy is befriended with the guys from Front 242, especially Jean Luc Demeyer. And the same for Dive & Absolute Body Control, the projects of Dirk Ivens (The Klinik) from Antwerp, also on Out of Line and befreinded with the guys from Front 242. Notice also that some genuine 'old' and nowadays EBM like Underviewer, Dive, Absolute Body Control,, Crash Course in Science, The Juggernauts, A Split Second, Paradeground are managed by Bodybeats from Antwerp (Belgium). And (some of) the best EBM bands today are in my opinion and who i like very much: Hocico, Suicide Commando and Cephalgy, all not surprisingly from Out of Line. And if you want to now what Front 242, the founders of the name EBM, thinks about this, i recommend 2 big samplers on the Brussels based record label Alfa Matrix where Front 242 is involved: Electronic Body Matrix volumes 1 & 2. The two main record labels today for EBM, Old Skool & nowadays are Out of Line and Alfa Matrix and probably in North America Wax Trax and Metropolis records.
Lo estoy escuchando por primera vez en mi vida, vine al mundo el mismo año del vídeo y no sé cómo se llamaría entonces este estilo pero yo diría que me suena a psychodance.
