EBM - I give my soul to thee.
Ok, after an absolutely awesome Melotron/Covenant concert last night, I feel the need to preach my love for Industrial/EBM/Synthpop music.
The list of great groups goes on and on. It's fairly simple to get a good sound, and the lyrics are merely a bonus if they make sense. It's almost like how there are 50 billion good Trance songs if you like Trance. It's a general *sound* that makes your body move.
I like to describe the genre to people who dont understand it as 'Depeche Mode, only a lot harder'
I'm friends with one of the pioneers of Industrial/Club music, a DJ at the old LA club Kontrol Factory. He tells me about how Industrial started to die out in the late 90's, there wasn't enough evolution in the style, so a lot of the artists can now be found in the field of Psytrance. I see that evolution in recent EBM releases... less Industrial, more dancey/trancey beats. Thus the evolution of Synthpop.
I'm lovin' it all.
