Burroughs. One of the most incongruous releases on the Industrial Records label was a version of the blues standard Stormy Weather sung by Elisabeth Welsh, taken from the soundtrack of Derek Jarman's film The Tempest. Industrial Records was perhaps even more important in P-Orridge's attack on the public consciousness than his band. Whereas contemporary Punk Rock bands were instantly co-opted into the.

Electronic art music Musique concrete Industrial music Synth pop Techno music House music Trance music Drum and bass House music refers to a collection of styles of electronic dance music, of which it was one of the earliest forms, beginning in the early to mid 1980s. The common element in most house music styles is a foundation that consists of a 4/4 beat generated by a drum machine together with a solid (usually also electronically generated) bassline. Upon this foundation, different styles would add sounds (both electronically generated as well as samples) more associated with other genres such as jazz, blues and synth pop.

Glitch (music) - Glitch (music) Glitch (also known as clicks and cuts) is a genre of electronic music that became popular in the late 1990s with the increasing use of digital signal processing, particularly on computers. Glitch is influenced by musique concrete, techno, industrial and ambient music, is usually extremely minimal and rhythmic and is sometimes considered a sub-genre of IDM. (The term "clicks n cuts" comes from a representative compilation series by the German record label Mille Plateaux called Clicks and Cuts.) Glitch is often produced on computers using modern digital production software to splice together small cuts of music from published songs, with beats made out of short clicks and bits of noise. The genre is thus named after the use of digital artifacts and noise-like distortions, often.

Electronic art music Musique concrete Industrial music Synth pop Techno music House music Trance music Drum and bass Electronic music is a loose term for music created using electronic equipment. Any sound produced by the means of an electrical signal may reasonably be called electronic, and the term is sometimes used that way -- in music where acoustic performance is the norm, even the introduction of electronic amplifiers may touch off discussions of electronic music (jazz and folk music, for example, have gone through a good deal of argument about the topic). As a category of criticism and marketing, however, electronic music refers to music produced largely by electronic components, such as synthesizers, samplers,.

Electronic art music Musique concrete Industrial music Synth pop Techno music House music Trance music Drum and bass Electronic "art" music is a regrettably vague term for the formal and primarily academic branch of electronic music that is focused on extending musical capabilities through technology. Electronic art music suffers from naming difficulties similar to those associated with the terms "contemporary music" and "modern classical music" (modern music composed in the traditions of Classical music.) When electronic techniques first came to be used for musical purposes, the experimental field was fully contained within the term "Electronic music". Many of these early Electronic compositions drew widespread interest, but little enthusiasm. Beginning in the 1960s, however, Electronic techniques and.
Electronic Body Music - Electronic Body Music Electronic Body Music, more commonly known by its acronym EBM, is a musical genre combining elements of Industrial music and Electronic dance music. The genre's early influences run the gamut from the noisy industrial music of the time (Throbbing Gristle, Psychic TV) to the Radical Dance scene (Portion Control, 400 Blows) and straight-ahead electronic music (Kraftwerk, DAF). The term was coined by the Belgian band Front 242 in the early 1980s to describe their music, and they are considered the first EBM band. Through the 1980s and early 1990s the style was characterized by harsh and often sparse electronic beats and became popular in the underground club scene, particularly in Europe. In this early period the most important labels were the European Pias and Antler.
Alternative music - Alternative music The term alternative music was coined in the early 1980s to describe bands which didn't fit into the mainstream genres of the time. A catch-all phrase for rock and similar genres, it includes indie, post-punk, hardcore punk, Gothic rock, college rock and New Wave bands. However, most alternative bands were unified by their collective debt to punk, which laid the groundwork for underground and alternative music in the 1970s. Notable alternative bands of the 1980s include Talking Heads, Sonic Youth, the Replacements and Husker Du. In 1982, only a handful of college radio stations, like Danbury, Connecticut's WXCI, broadcast alternative music. Commercial stations completely ignored the genre. As alternative rock became more popular in the mid-1980s, it spread widely to other college radio stations, leading.

Electronic art music Musique concrete Industrial music Synth pop Techno music House music Trance music Drum and bass Trance music is a subgenre of electronic dance music that developed in the 1990s. Perhaps the most ambiguous genre in the realm of electronic dance music (EDM), trance could be described as a melodic, more-or-less freeform style of music derived from a combination of techno and house. Regardless of its precise origins, to many club-goers, party-throwers, and EDM adherents, trance is held as a significant development within the greater sphere of (post-)modern dance music. While there is no strict definition for "trance," songs of this genre are usually characterized as being accessible and having "anthemic" qualities. Using that.

Noise music - Noise music Noise music is a term that succinctly sums up this genre by its name alone. Noise music is loosely related to industrial, sharing its DIY ethos, independence and ethic of using "non-musical" sources. Often punishing and abrasive, Noise music can be difficult listening, ranging from the free-form extreme electronic music of Whitehouse and Merzbow to the more sculptured sounds of Otomo Yoshihide. Fans of the genre distinguish between "pure noise", with essentially no structure, and "rhythmic noise", which contains elements of conventional musical structure, especially rhythm. Many industrial and electronic artists incorporate noise elements into their work. For reasons unknown the genre became popular in Japan, with a large following in Tokyo and Osaka. Musicians such as the afore mentioned Merzbow, Otomo Yoshihide and other.

Due to differences between founding member Sascha Konietzko and other band members, KMFDM split up.
