Blind Test // 80s EBM / Industrial - Episode 3 (Electronic Beats TV)

[@ElectronicBeatsTV]

For all of you who like EBM or want to discover more here is a nice Spotify playlist open.spotify.com/playlist/5FRKTW9VSO4jJc2aTKDcyx?si=J8rlXBp1Sl6wOb55zlOGYQ

[@mossadon]

Nice to see you included Consolidated in there. Only thing "missing" is maybe some early, super gritty Meat Beat Manifesto....? hmmm...maybe more or too Industrial for an EBM list... ...anyway.... :D >places right fist on open left palm & bows< (Ex Red Rhino Records of Front242 signing fame & distributor of most EBM releases)

[@ElectronicBeatsTV]

A matter of taste 🤓 - says someone who produced EBM in the 80s and worked for Zoth Ommog.

[@mossadon]

@@ElectronicBeatsTV i thought i could "smell" experience about you! The deep musty cologne of Music Research was what was wafting under my nose. >doffs cap to you

[@ElectronicBeatsTV]

@@mossadon Haha

[@4lew7898]

Well that list brings some memories. Thanks to friend who was running a record distro back then I used to follow a lot of EBM/ rhytmic noise related stuff released by labels like Antler-Subway, Off Beat, Ant-Zen, Hands, KK Records or Daft just to name a few. Zoth Ommog was among them as well obviously. Loads of good stuff on their catalogue, from big names like X-Marks The Pedwalk, Leaether Strip, Mentallo & The Fixer or Numb to some less known, forgotten gems like Allied Vision, Necrofix or Dark Illumination.

[@jeremyfryar3424]

Adam X has forgotten more music than most of us know.

[@rodrigoroque4831]

We need more EBM, Gabber and IDM blind test!

[@AFULimited]

I was even struggling with the three tracks of Warzau, Lassigue Bendthaus & Final Cut ! The rest I knew from the first tone straight and still play some of them in my sets. ;-) Well done guys !

[@insnowdonia]

That was the best "Blind Test" so far. we spent 1-hr pausing/playing/discog'ing/researching, trying to get the answer, followed by gathering all of these records in the flat!

[@ElectronicBeatsTV]

Sounds like fun

[@aikighost]

Its amazing how good these records still sound today, the production on so many of them is still fantastic.

[@ElectronicBeatsTV]

aikighost cause at this time most music was recorded in bigger professional studios.

[@aikighost]

@@ElectronicBeatsTV True, there we actual mix engineers and professional producers involved with some of the early electronica/EBM artists.

[@jaxager]

I just took a picture of every screen that gave the final answer. Except for the Front 242 song.

[@ChristianSmithChannel]

Adam x would win most genres from classic house to hard techno! Running a great record store for many years has its benefits ;)

[@ElectronicBeatsTV]

He didn‘t know Off (Sven Väth) - Be my dream. Bummer 😂

[@ChristianSmithChannel]

@@ElectronicBeatsTV Off was not so big in the USA. But at least he could pinpoint Frankfurt.

[@captinp3anuts]

we stan adam x!

[@JedQuinn13]

Adam *is* awesome. So are you, Christian! 😁

[@jeremyfryar3424]

@@ChristianSmithChannel dude don’t act like you wouldn’t do really well at this. But agreed I knew Adam would do really well. The dude is a musical encyclopedia, and yeah Sonic Groove had to have benefitted for something like this.

OMG! Where all these tracks have been all my life!? Unbelievable good, all of them!

[@oxygen242]

EBM ist my favourite Music since 1988 many thanks for the Video : I Love Front 242 and Frontline Assembly

[@bryanketler9354]

Took me back. I was a hardcore industrial head in the late 80’s/early 90’s. Got to see Ministry, Front 242, Machines of Loving Grace, RevCo, Meat Beat Manifesto, Nitzer Ebb, Die Warzau, and many more in concert back then.

[@benrossy2k]

Just discovered the genre this past month, been pretty interesting learning the history

[@XxfishpastexX]

What were the crowds like? Mosh pits or dancing?

[@rustwitch.]

I'm still hoping MBM pops up in one of these videos

[@Ballistik-Knight]

@@XxfishpastexX More moshpits than dancing but always high energy resulting in very high pressure towards the scene. It felt like you were in a war up there. This is Sweden in the eighties, other places might have been different.

[@Obi1r]

​@@XxfishpastexX I wouldn't say moshpits in The Netherlands, but dancing 😉 there we're great alternativ places in every city like Parkzicht in Rotterdam. Great atmosphere in the greatest creative decade of the 80's

[@Alkalino.Munich]

this was without a doubt the hardest episode to guess the tracks. and Im a big EBM fan. Great list.

[@alpaykasal2902]

This was def fun to watch... shout out to Adam X and The Horrorist

[@kimberly3317]

Yeah bad. Adam x really knows his shit.

[@leninonacid2358]

Adam x and Oliver are fucking legend. They did some real tuff beats back then. Got many of their records from back in the day!

[@ernestorivera233]

I come from another scene . And i am very grateful for this . Learning is sweet.

[@8il8a]

I loved this one! More 80s EBM, please!

[@ciancio_lautaro.4401]

Gosh, Adam X and The Horrorist are legends

[@rnsrp2]

Amazing series !!! Keep them up @Telekom Electronic Beats

[@hiddentechno8266]

Isnt it crazy how some of these tracks sound like they were produced yesterday and would fit into current DJs sets no problem, despite being over 30 years old. I am always looking for good EBM/industrial tracks for my sets so shout out your recommendations....

[@KP-ul2ep]

They preceded techno and modern ebm. Makes sense that they inspired what we hear today.

[@1967sfoman]

And if you were there to hear them when they were first released you know how mind blowing they were to hear. This wasn't just dancefloor music but serious headphone music. Destroyed my hearing listening to electro-industrial on headphones and live shows. Would gladly live those years all over again.

[@corpseopera]

Richard H Kirk

[@miked3168]

Go fight.... Post die warzau band should be in your set.

[@CS-dz8ko]

[@j3any3s]

Adam x bought a recycling bin full of vinyl from me when I was young. awesome store and neighborhood

[@koji505]

Great video ! Would love to see another EBM-Industrial Blind Test.

[@Tyr525]

Gods, Push! by The Invincible Spirit hits so hard, I love it. It's so crunchy.

[@shadowcastorg]

Amazing selection of records. Even for the most die hard fans of the genre, this would have been a challenge. I actually played along myself and straight away knew only 4 out of the 10 and was close on only 2 others. Really fun and interesting to watch. I especially am particulary fond of the A Split - Second track!

[@timmey5848]

Again props to the seamless audio editing between clips. Love this new format

[@leninonacid2358]

I habe deepest respect for the work of adam x and Oliver chesler as producers and DJs. They really did tuff beats back in the day and there aren't a lot dj who defined and shaped techno like they did!

[@errata]

Phase Fatale lookin like Berghain weekend Matt Damon

[@vikingwoman1988]

This video is like a time capsule! I remembered when most of these songs came out.

[@MenekiNekoTunes]

As a huge hard industrial techno fan and a follower of Oliver's and his stories for over 20 years now I love him even more knowing a bit more of his roots. Born in 83 I grew up listening to a lot of new wave, EBM, and industrial.. Finally getting to go see A Split-Second for the first time in Oct. and later that month KMFDM's 40th anniversary tour kicks off here in Milwaukee! Edit - Last year maybe a year and a half ago seen Frontline Assembly open for Gary Numan and Ministry and thought their set shined I wanted more!

[@snowwwwhite]

EBM is alive! so good, so danceable and several of my favourite music makers too :D come back to London soon!

[@dariushunter6792]

See how European techno and some Detroit is really influenced. XD But some EBM artists, morphed into that sweet kicking Techno. :D

[@mannytheiner887]

Please do IDM and Electro. Loved hearing Lassigue Bendthaus! I also got Front 242, A Split Second, Die Warzau and Final Cut.

[@djmadwax]

This is the best concept on youtube

[@alvlamper]

I love this , i need more and more , never stop doing this pls, greetins from galiza 🔥🔥🔥

[@milipin7113]

Amazing! Always nice to listen to some old EBM.

[@Mr_ToR]

Back then I only knew of Front 242 because I somehow got a tape of them from someone and it was like having access to a hidden world. I listened to it for years. Only a very small number of people knew of them where I lived.

[@gdyby112]

How surprising is that Lassigue Bendthaus is Uwe Schmidt, the sound play/design genius also known as Atom Heart, AtomTM and many other monikers. What's even more astonishing is that I bought the album Matter album from which the track comes just few days ago shortly after discovering the project and now I'm listening to it in the blind test by TEB. The universe is so unpredictable.

[@mossadon]

Lets not gloss over Senior Coconut! heh heh heh. Uwe is a sonic genius.

[@Vingul]

Schmidt sure has done a lot of different stuff from "intelligent" techno to trance and EBM.

[@drgigglesvinyldjsets-kruto1080]

Yep. It is definitely worth checking out all all of Uwe Scmidt's releases, so many different styles of electronic music, many top shelf songs tucked away as b sides and under aliases.

[@cornerliston]

Fun episode. Good you included some other than the obvious ones. This was a period when a few bands influenced a lot of followers making almost clones of classics ; )

[@niels4001]

If I would have to explain the diversity of electronic dance music to a "new" person, I would recommend these blind test series. To understand what is the difference in the "boom. boom, boom". Amazing work TEB. Also going so far into the realms of the unknowns. Even for the "heads".

[@invincible1200s]

Section 25! I have their album somewhere on my vinyl shelf! Looking From a Hilltop is still a great track.

[@Factory051]

Tony Wilson referred to them as those 'clever bastards from Blackpool'. He wasn't wrong.

[@jeremyfryar3424]

Knew Adam X would own this. That dude and his brother are living track encyclopedias.

[@detroittechno7904]

I really like these videos their good fun. Also don’t anything about this Genre but really like the music. So I need to do some homework. Thank you for doing these there really good.

[@wav_909]

Informative, great choice of guests and tracks, cant go wrong with this series

[@slagtrooper]

Found this video by chance. Very nice, took some notes and updated my Spotify EBM Classics/Old/Anhalt playlist. Glad to find that still have some EBM treasures that i didn't knew - Equals more good music to listen. Thank you!

[@adrianalisitza5543]

There's something about Adam x's attitude that I just find so attractive.

[@evvldvrk1music-official]

glad to see this video. too many people don't consider EBM/Industrial to be a part of electronic music (especially the mainstream EDM people)

[@Vikramottungadeva]

I can't stand most of modern eletronic music, industrial and old school techno is the best.

[@wassup9801453]

I watched the other two videos earlier tonight. I’ve learned even DJs have a hard time with track ids sometimes lol

[@bazedjunkiii_tv]

tbh for the majority of my collection i don't even know artist or track ID's and honestly couldn't care less by whom a track is produced or remixed. subconsciously i know how a record sounds like, when to pull it and the rest is simply muscle memory. and i'm talking vinyl here, not soundfiles. a few thousand records.

[@AbominusRules]

wow. i feel bad. as a long time industrial/ebm guy, i only knew 2-3 of those songs. i failed big time. time to do my research!!

[@schnookidoo22]

Stoked to see Section 25 on this list, such an underrated track!

[@m.t-thoughts8919]

That was quit a suprising video. Long live EBM! ☣🖤

[@Kowalth]

(Writing down most of those Track IDs) They were surely ahead of their time!

[@cloudbloom]

Such a distinct style of music, I fucking love it

[@plasnes2055]

Recognized that second track as soon as i heard the intro, I love Peter Bonne's projects!

[@franciscologarzo6729]

love this series! great content, keep it up

[@StereoAnthony]

Lots of really great tracks I've never heard! Really digging this series. Subscribed!

[@jdssurf]

Automotive is such a badass song, great album

[@multicoremusic]

Nice to have an episode on EBM / Industrial!

[@fatalexcerpts]

Lassigue Bendthuas - Automotive kicks things off. Genius start. I think that's even one of his edits and NOT the matter version due to the bass at the start. Definitely on AtomTM rerelease I know.

[@blablabladado]

I love this kind of stuff. Really make my day!!!!

[@GreatBallsOfAcid]

You will be the one and only telco to ever ever pour money in this type of content. You can put this episode on your wall of fame.

[@shaunlaverick5793]

Land of the free..I reviewed for the University student paper back in 1989 lol..blimey. thats blast from the past

[@Zinfidel1]

Every one needs Pankow in their lives. Particularly the album 'And Shun The Cure They Most Desire' which features a disc of modern songs and a disc of old songs remixed by modern EBM artists. Also, the Artoffact Records remaster of 'Throw Out Rite' is a good look into early 80s EBM.

[@JenniferMaxson]

One of the best

[@TheBrex9]

Wish for a second part of this one

[@kieroppi]

This was a fun game. I got a little too excited over Sven Väth. He is a national treasure 🤍

[@WhySoBroke]

I very very much enjoyed this one!!

[@calemirou]

Very nice stuff, i like this collection. Thank you for this video

[@griiseknoen]

Thanks to Oliver Chesler for having the balls to acknowledge the fact that EBM vocals seldom added *anything* to the tunes. They were quite often just irritating and getting in the way of the great music. And it truly was GREAT music!

[@Vikramottungadeva]

Ha, vocals for me are one of the biggest parts in EBM and industrial, even if most of them sound alike

[@tophan5146]

Wow that was amazingly produced! Well done!

[@area609joe2]

I remember taking the train to go lurk in Sonic Groove. Over 10 Probably at least 50+ times. Years later, he played an event for me. It was amazing, never expected the evolution of his sound. Anyone gets the opportunity to have him play for won't be disappointed.

[@TsunoOkashi]

Adam X is incredible.

[@RE_FLEXX]

Awesome episode! Great tunes

[@XOAF_personal]

Just feel that intro sound desing. FUUUUUUUUCK SO GOOD.

[@emersonrocha2969]

I didn't remember die warzau and final cut. the others always put something in my oldschool sets. great sequence!

[@miked3168]

Emerson Rocha I did only cause I'm a derroiter and warzau were from Chicago for my many trips to the wax Trax store back in the day

[@alexlokanin3312]

Love Pankow! Thanks for the video, now i have lots of other classic releases I have to check out

[@sock_park]

Really enjoyed this whether the guests knew the tracks or not. Great job, guys!

[@zibbybone]

I got 3/10: A Split Second, Front 242 & Section 25 - all staples in late 80s/early 90s clubs here in Dallas, TX. Some of the others sounded familiar. "Looking from a Hilltop" is probably my favorite club track.

[@ElectronicBeatsTV]

👍🏻

[@laurenm9956]

Looking from a Hilltop for sure a massive hit in Dallas. One of my favs as well.

[@alexlokanin3312]

Seriously thanks for this video, this music here is absolutely kicking

[@MadayMaday]

Man, I used to consider myself a rivethead, and I struggled with all but the Die Warzau track. I've got to go back through my collection :( or is it :D.

I feel like if you put Adam X on a blind test of Hard Bag from 1997 only played in the Morely area of Leeds in February of that year, he'd still do pretty well.
