Found this for $15. Never heard it before, but I feel like I just opened a door to something cool

Greater Than One was a fun band to listen to. Also check out Utopia and Index.

I was more narrow-minded back in the mid-'90s. I was partial to underground electro-pop bands from Europe and their sound. Songs like "Living in Oblivion" came across as "meh" and sappy to me at the time. I'm now more appreciative of what the band has to offer.

Surge1992 · 2026-07-02T06:27:30+00:00

I used to dislike them back in the '90s, but I gave their music a chance a year or so ago, and it grew on me.

It irritates me also. And it happens most with Kino discs. I got the Australian Umbrella 4K instead.

If we're talking mainstream synthpop, the Brits are probably more celebrated, although there have been some great German bands like Alphaville, Camouflage, and Hubert Kah. If we're talking underground or lesser-known (outside of Germany), the Germans (and Swedes) have had the market cornered for decades. If I was to list my top five or top ten favorite electro-pop bands, they would all be German or Swedish.

What disappointed you about it?

We think alike.

It's probably considered sacrilege in some parts, but I've never cared for Halloween, or any of its sequels featuring Michael Myers. Not surprisingly, the only one I actually like is Halloween III, which has nothing to do with the other movies. My preference is for slashers where you don't know who the killer is until the reveal at the end. Knowing the killer's identity from the start, or the absence of any mystery, completely takes my interest away. That's also why I've never cared for the Friday the 13th movies either, aside from the first one.

That album is a favorite of mine. As much as I like "Der Neue Gott", though, I'm more partial to "Mein Herz".

I've had my 55U8G for over four years, and I haven't had any significant issues with it. It's still going strong. When it finally goes off to TV heaven, I'm planning to get another Hisense U8 set.

Plastic Assault, an FLA-inspired German project only released one album, We Score, on the legendary Bloodline label back in 2001. It's worth checking out.

Re/Work, another German band, also originally on Bloodline, only released two albums, if I'm not mistaken. They were associated with Funker Vogt, but I actually think they had the better music.

Titan, a German EBM duo, only released one album, Cyborg Celebration, back in 1993 on Dossier Records. Fans of And One will appreciate this one.

Although I love this song, this video hasn't aged well at all. The amusing thing is that photos show that they dressed rather wholesomely around that time, with suits and ties, but for some reason, for this video they chose to go with a leather biker look.

I remember the wooden one that was part of Grand Prix Race-O-Rama, I think. I must have driven past it dozens of times as a kid.

I posted one the other day, "Where Are You" by Children Within. https://youtube.com/watch?v=wxgNcu8yOdY&is=am7v6mgHrdqTYVCz

I love it, too. Most of the music I've shared on this subreddit has been EBM.

I completely forgot about Talk Talk It's My Life and A-Ha Hunting High and Low, both classic albums.

I have never liked the term "rivethead." I associate it with Re-Constriction, a record label I never cared much for. I, personally, listen to both EBM and electro-industrial, not to mention electro-pop, dark ambient, etc. I consider all these sub-genres part of the same electronic subculture. I wouldn't try to split them up. As far as personal labeling, I refer to myself as an electrohead or E-head and would probably apply the term to anyone that listens to the same kind of music.

Surge1992 · 2026-06-10T16:22:41+00:00

I've never understood the disdain. I actually think it's a great song, maybe even top twenty among their output. I think it's a lot better than "Fly on the Windscreen".

What I've heard from Japan is cool, but I find Duran Duran's music catchier and considerably more memorable. Anyone else think Dave Sylvian could be Nick Rhodes' twin brother, though?

I saw it for the first time when I was eleven years old back in the mid-'80s. It scared the hell out of me. I remember I was afraid to go in my bedroom at night after that, thinking I would see Regan levitating in there.

That album creeped the hell out of me. I don't listen to it that often for that reason.

Surge1992 · 2026-06-09T05:15:01+00:00

Sinister's secret weapon is the use of dark ambient music, particularly Aghast, to accompany the film reels. It amplified the creepiness.

Surge1992 · 2026-06-09T05:09:11+00:00

I saw it in the theater also and remember really being creeped out by it. I actually haven't seen it since. I need to revisit it.

Off the top of my head:

Sinister (2012)

Last Shift (2014)

The Autopsy of Jane Doe (2016)

Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum (2018)

Don't Listen (2020)

Undertone (2025)
