Intro

EBM

Industrial music infused with lighter forms of electronic music. More danceable and melodic than industrial. Lively, dark, synthetic, mechanical and mid-tempo (i.e. 128 BPM). Makes use of four-on-the-floor and rock-like syncopated kick drum patterns fused with bright and repetitive arpeggiating synthesizers. Vocals are either clean or only slightly distorted, and are often made up of talk-singing, growls and shouts. The name was coined by Ralf Hütter of Kraftwerk to describe the group’s album The Man-Machine, and the style came to prominence in the 1980s in Germany and Belgium.
