I don't believe anyone posted this bomb:


It was the perfect mixture of everything at the time - ebm/hard new beat/synth-pop

 

[0bleak]

and this one from the same people - pick your flavor

 

[0bleak]

fave belgian sleazebeat:



the pure acid b-side just ain’t as much fun

 

[the ig]

yeah, they basically just did a cover adding some acid to it

poss my fave nj prod (oh but love loads), afaik little credited as should be as masters of blending guitar tones with electronics. bit new order with gothier edge:

 

[the ig]

the nj take on twang, poss slightly daft refrain but fuck what a beautiful sound:



drum machine never sounded so good with a band, great vocal sound too

 

[the ig]

fullstyle acid beaut:
