My favourite album by them followed by Too Dark Park, Cleanse Fold And Manipulate, Last Rights and Mind: The Perpetual Intercourse.

Almost every song is great on this album and I love the sound. And with Skinny Puppy it is always a pleasure to concentrate on every small detail.

The 12” Single version of Testure absolutely kills. Especially that bass at the beginning

giggle



been on such a huge EBM kick for months now, here's a leaderboard



10: Cabaret Voltaire (proto only, big influence etc.)

09: Severed Heads (too synth-pop to rank higher)

08: Front Line Assembly

07: Click Click (also arguably just a hard synthpop band)

06: Borghesia, basically cos of one killer EP in particular

05: Portion Control

04: Psyche

03: DAF (and Liaisons Dangereuses)

02: Skinny Puppy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

01: Front 242



bands like A Split-Second and A;GRUMH and all that are just sort of not that good, imho, but i know i am gonna like Pankow and The Klinik as soon as I'm more familiar with their shit. also this is a really good way to discover one-off weirdo synth pop albums like ALOA



edit: ps this is all based on 80s stuff. i get the feeling that 90s EBM stuff is less punk and more genre and am not THAT interested in it yet although I will end up checking some debut albums in case im wrong

That's a bitchin' list, although I'd throw some Nitzer Ebb in it too.

Skinny Puppy isn't exactly EBM.

dunno, they were part of the scene and were on the same euro record label as everyone else in it and toured the same places

EBM is much more dance-oriented, you can look up the exact distinctions.
