Die Form - Sadia (remix)

Die Form is one of those 'proto-industrial' projects whose history stretches into times before there was a coherent industrial music genre as such and long time before a division to new and old-school. Die Form was established in 1977 in Bourg-en-Bresse, France and - in the beginning - it was only one of the several ongoing projects [Krylon Hertz, Eva-Johanna Reichstag, Fine AutomatiC] of Philippe Fichot featuring on his newly formed label Bain Total.

Bain Total was - along with Die Form - a major player in the oblique circles of the 1980s experimental music tape exchange and a relatively familiar name in the French new wave scene, but had received little attention among wider audiences until Éliane P. was added to the line-up in 1986. With her, the project took up a more club-oriented sound and soon became a household name in the gothic / electro / industrial scene of the 1990s and 2000s. But for a brief period, in-between their early 1990s success and the abandonment of their abstract sound-painting that characterized their first phase - the two 'sounds' co-existed in an odd equilibrium and the album Photogrammes [Normal, 1989] is in many ways characteristic of this transitional phase.

It was in this album that Die Form produced its probably most Skinny Puppy-resounding track of their careers - Remission as well as - Sadia, an amazing S/M-inspired hit that somehow-amazingly didn't get the acclaim of their other mega-hits like Savage Logic or Masochist.
