[dedongallus]

THANXXX !!!

[HbGoth]

F.L.A.! Einer der geilsten Stücke aus ihrer Frühzeit. Purer EBM, geil. ^

[sprocketart]

Young brain forming material at the time....especially on acid.

[zzGRENDELzz]

@Secret111SquirreL -actually in europe they referred to it as EBM from the get go.

[BrokenMachines4571]

Killer classic!!!Switching to Pogo mode now :)

[TheSlavo33]

ludia fantazia

[Dronemful]

This is one of my fave FLA songs from 80's.

[NyXemB]

Glaub da is was nich in Ordnung mit deiner VHS.

^.^

[FDKYMO]

Their sound was shocking for me.

Thank you for posting. :)

[bgtelevizor]

zz, who cares how it's called - it sounds wonderful! :) music analysis, determinations etc. sucks - i found out that the sound of Front242 or Nitzer Ebb or whateva more, is clled EBM about an year ago, and still this have never avoided me to adore it since I was 13! – and I was 13 a loooong time ago ;)

[zzGRENDELzz]

@bgtelevizor - if you have people you want to turn on to it, a few determinating epithets are worth knowing and being consistent helps. in 1994 I was making mix tapes left and right to get the NYC club scene up to speed on the new tunes from Europe. describing the new stuff as 242 or FLA/nitzer ebb based was essential to appealing to peoples taste.

zz, who cares how it's called - it sounds wonderful! :)

[bgtelevizor]

who cares how it's called - it sounds wonderfull :)

[zzGRENDELzz]

Ferocious great stuff! I miss these early days - they didn't last long enough.

[wysacenomewuw]

RT: mp4ify . is the bomb for youtube mp3s :)

[warjunky444]

Wondering what the footage is?

Well a sizeable part of it is made up of British troops after firing upon a bunch of protesters in Northern Ireland. Not that long ago either...

But the world really didnt care about our little Island back then.

Its only in recent times in places like Iran that people give a shit. But in fact, the US government is intent on suppressing chatter about that horror show these days as well.

[dustinzk]

Classic!

[MagnitudePerson]

Seriously why isnt gthis group played in BOTH THE UNDERGROUND MEDIA AND MAINSTREAM/OVERGROUND MEDIA?

PS- Fuck Stalin and his Stalinism!(satanizm..)

[mizquitl]

This is like one of my first fucking Vinyls I ever bought!

[SteveAFCLondon]

I fucking love this track

[skrapyard444]

ive noticed that the bar on the left side appears everytime the snare hits and you can see a very blurry mouth during the scream samples....all the images are synced up to the song neatly.

[TheGreatEcstasy]

@skrapyard444

I think it's H-Gun who made the video. They had their own distinctive style with very fast editing and although a bit samey in the long run were no dimwits. it figures they'd put some thought into what they were doing.

That aside, great track from FLA. Shame they didn't stick to this more basic style instead of the bandwagon hopping they humiliated themselves with after Caustic Grip and TNI.

[katuhtuh]

@TheGreatEcstasy Is it possible that this video group also did the unofficial video for Skinny Puppy - Deadlines? I do believe it was made around the same time period and there are many striking similarities, such as the letter-boxed video effect and some other elements such as thing that may have been the same footage with different contrast/color scheme effects. Any information you may have would be of academic interest :P

[Leitmotivation]

forever great

[KillingSpreeFreesBee]

This is cool, normaly i dont like EBM, but FLA make it sound sick.

[zzGRENDELzz]

@KillingSpreeFreesBee - not really EBM - too "tack tack tack" to be EBM. Electro industrial suits it better. EBM is more bass synth oriented, like the Klinik or Front 242.

[fedbymum]

Listened to this in 1990 - it is still good!

[inelex]

The version of this from Live Wired effing rules.

[dieandereseite]

When I used to listen to this, it was called EBM. Industrial music was (and still is) something different in means and intent. Whatever, it still sounds great some 20 years after. Thanks for posting the vid.

[MagnitudePerson]

yeah FLAs and Skinny Puppys(SPs) style off EBM is unique, so is Front 242's more oldskool, light-EBM-type style, etc...

[Ullish1989]

i wouldn't considering Skinny Puppy EBM

[sagie1234]

yo this looks like a hallucination i had in grade school. i wish i could imagine how they danced to this back when it came out! this is this best.

[funkydonkey11051989]

if you say F.L.A. is industrial, electro-industrial or EBM....it,s still correct :)

[SteveAFCLondon]

What a fucking tune.

[Spasmolytic94]

Skinny Puppy & Frontline Assembally are the go fathers of indusrtrial!

[IloveAlexisBledel689]

that's awesome!

[ROBOFRANCE2029]

all of the footage in this vid is from a doc on the IRA. dam fine vid.

[Crijevo]

A standard video scrapbook of social struggle, this and that... However, 'Bodycount' is one hell of an ace track of all times.

[bobishere41]

[deadplan]
