Electronic, a collaborative effort between Bernard Sumner and Johnny
Marr, began in the Hacienda, where they met. It was in that
Manchester hot spot that Sumner, lead vocalist, guitarist and
songwriter of New Order and Marr, guitarist and co-writer with The
Smiths, resolved in 1988 to form a new group -- Electronic. Pooling
their songwriting prowess, the core duo of Sumner and Marr would
bring in outside collaborators whenever they so desired. Electronic
would give the two creative freedom to work outside the confines of
a rigid group format. In the late spring, Warner Bros. released
Electronic, the document of this promising undertaking.
From the start, Sumner and Marr, each responsible for some of
contemporary music's most distinct and affecting songs, struck up an
instant rapport as a songwriting team. Of course, throughout 1988,
they had other commitments to fulfill, with Sumner polishing off New
Order's Technique LP and subsequent U.S. tour and Marr teaming up
with The The to record Mind Bomb. By Spring, 1989, Marr had also
embarked on a world tour with the group.
In September of 1989, the Pet Shop Boys caught wind of Electronic.
Neil Tennant, another modern-day pop visionary, became the first
outside artist to join the fold. The First incarnation of Electronic
proved quite fruitful. Tennant and fellow Shop-er Chris Lowe
commuted to Manchester for the recording sessions. Tennant wrote
some of the lyrics and sang some back-up's on the bittersweet,
lifting tune entitled "Getting Away With It" -- Electronic's
debut single. In 1990, in America's decidedly album-oriented
climate, "Getting Away With It" hit the Top 40, selling over 350,000
copies. The single rose to #11 in England and met with much
critical kudos, including many a "Single Of The Year" mentions on
both sides of the Atlantic.
The four also wrote another song, "Patience Of A Saint," during the
evening's sessions, which appears on Electronic's eponymous debut
EP. With American anticipation for Electronic piqued by their debut
single, Depeche Mode invited the group to play two Dodger Stadium
dates, August 4th and 5th, on DM's 1990 megatour of the U.S. So,
aided by percussionists Donald Johnson (from A Certain Ratio) and
Kesta Martinez and keyboardist Andy Robinson, Electronic made their
stage debut at a sold-out Dodger Stadium --capacity 60,000+. For
both shows, the Pet Shop Boys, making their first-ever live
performance in the U.S., joined Electronic to perform the two songs
they had co-written.
Since September, 1990, Sumner and Marr have been able to devote all
their efforts to Electronic -- and the results are astonishing.
Whether it's the hip-hop guitar scrawl of the lead-off track, "Idiot
Country." the smoothing, near-perfect shuffle of "Feel Every Beat"
or the synth jabs and layered acoustic guitars of "Tighten Up,"
Electronic is an entirely singular creation. No belabored
juxtaposition of "funky" guitars over tired break beats, the LP is a
dance album informed by the tension and melodicism of cutting-edge
pop, a perfect balance between "the synthetic and the sensual" (NME)
As a group, Electronic remains independent in the truest sense: they
have complete freedom and control, from co-producing and producing
all the songs to commissioning the artwork and videos. The clip for
Sumner's and Marr's intoxicating second single, "Get The Message,"
is filmed atop a volcano in the Philippines. The single and video
hit these shores mid-April. Appropriately enough, Electronic made
their British debut with a surprise gig at Hacienda -- celebrating
the renewal of the club's license - on Wednesday, January 9. Said
Melody Maker: "For their first U.K. show, Electronic almost achieved
the impossible -- matching expectation with exhilaration." With
Electronic, Sumner, Marr and their fellow travelers set new tandards
for what is and is not possible in pop music.

Today, the 22nd of July, AMOK celebrates its anniversary: 5 years ago
AMOK was founded! Only a few people know that AMOK originally started
as a 'sub-label' group of NBD in order to release music that did not
fit into their releases of the techno genre. When this MP3 group started
in 1998 we only had three sites and today the number has considerably
grown - here is the original list of sites AMOK started out with
(this is a preview of our site list from July 1998);
Sites:
~~~~~~
SITE NAME SPEED STORAGE STATUS SITE-OP
~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~
Dxxx Xxxxx xxxxxx T-3 16GB WHQ Xxxxxx
Mxxxxxxx E-1 9GB HQ Xxxxxx
Rxxxx xxxxxx Xxxxxx E-1 9GB HQ Xxxxxx
(Note: the third site is the original NBD WHQ. For those with added
curiousity, please let me draw your attention to the "site op" row.)
The first AMOK release, The soundtrack for "Need For Speed 3," ripped
straight from the PSX (this would be a nuke nowadays...), was set for
release on July 22, yet with a chaotic start in organizing the group the
date of this release had to be changed to July 24. Listed below is the
exact information on the infamous premiere release of AMOK:
"As a sublabel of NBD the official leader was NBD leader. Back then
this was Abomb-99 a true pioneer of the mp3 scene, and without him things
would for sure gone different for nowaday. Abomb-99 died in 1999 due
cancer, we won┤t forget him, even tho he wasn┤t our founder he was our
father. The following weeks we completely detached from NBD and got our
own image."
Out of our ranks grow friends as well as competitors; we affiliated far
more than 100 sites in our perpetual existence and have over 6k releases,
we hereby salute all of our friends and competitors that play by the rules
and contribute to make the scene an enjoyable place.
When you ask us nowadays, "What did you do for the scene?" we promoted our
definition of 'good music' and are among the 5 oldest of MP3 groups still
active, we asserted some of the basic rules for the first MP3 release
guidelines as well as promoting the usage of SFV for MP3's (thanks to a
good friend of ours who coded glftpd extensions back then, widely used)
When we take stock of ourselves nowadays we are more highly organized and
exist secured somewhere in a private ircd laminate, but mostly we are proud
that we never lost our roots that made us do it for nothing other than
the music we like.
MORAL DiSCLAiMER: We are very aware of the fact that our releases
contribute to the growing sale losses of record companies.
Unfortunately our style primarily targets small, independant labels
that need sales to survive.
For these reasons we ask you not to distribute this release on public
sites or P2P tools; if more and more receive their music from the net,
artists and labels will have to face even less sells than nowadays.
Please do not consider this release as a substitute to the original, but
only as a way to check out and learn about new music.
We absolutely do not approve of DJs or other individuals that earn
money from pirated music - Don't let them get their hands on it!
By buying the albums you like you disperse the guilt we feel by
releasing this music - Enjoy the music and be fair with the artists!
YOUR support is required to keep them financially alive and producing!
