Having difficultly locating where to buy this music? Since most stores in the U.S. don’t stock music from the genres we play it can be a real pain, but you can go our route: mail order. We use the online store Isolation Tank. Many labels, such as Metropolis Records, also offer CDs, and most artists have posted their libraries on their own sites, such as Bandcamp, or at the major digital outlets, such as iTunes, Amazon, etc.
Totten Mechanismus - Ab Initio
Totten Mechanismus, like a heavy electro submarine in the ocean of music - produces a pulsating mechanical rhythms, screeching vocals and dark dance tunes. The songs tell us about human weaknesses, the military power, the imperfection of human nature and cruelty. Scenes are taken from many well-known horror films and the life of musicians, and an aggressive and dynamic playing style perfectly helps uncover the meaning of each song.
And One - Magnet (Trilogie 1)
As the title ‘Magnet (Trilogie 1)’ lets expect the latest AND ONE album is a special fan edition containing three CDs titled ‘Magnet’, ‘Propeller’ and ‘Achtung 80’. Steve Naghavi once said he made different albums to get all his different text and music ideas in line. According to him ‘Magnet’ itself should contain new sounds and surprise the fans, while ‘Propeller’ is more an EBM-Pop style CD and ‘Achtung 80’ is based on 80’s influences and DEPECHE MODE’s older stuff.
Electrovot - Elegant Love
Electrovot is a Future Pop/EBM band from Tijuana, Mexico, and San Diego, CA. Smooth beats, elegant keyboard riffs and pumping baselines merge into an irresistible stream of beautiful and soulful tracks. Floating on top are Robs fantastic Vocals singing about the the trials and pain, as well as the uplifting aspects, of romantic life. Other themes are unity among people, tolerance, and struggling to stay on one's own path.
Standout Tracks include: Plus One, History and Elegant love
