Absolute Body Control formed early 1980 by Dirk Ivens (voice/synths) , Mark De Jonghe (synths) and Veerle De Schepper (backing vocals)
Soon after the lineup changed and Eric Van Wonterghem became Dirk's musical partner untill 1984 when the band was put on non active and both members where or are still involved in projects like THE KLINIK, INSEKT,DIVE, BLOK 57, SONAR and MONOLITH.
ABC released a 7" single "Is There An Exit?" (1981) , appeared worldwide on several compilation albums / tapes and became one of the first Belgian electronic acts who proved to be succesfull on stage.
In total they released 5 tapes and a compilation cd "Eat This" but the public intrest was still there and it took them over 22 years to reform in 2006 and play at the most important Indie festivals all over the world.
Since a few years now the complete backcatalogue is available again and with the release of the long awaited new Album „Shattered Illusion“ (2010) the interest and success of Absolute Body Control was never so popular.
After the well recieved MCD "Sorrow" wich was the first Single taken from the album and released on the Sonic Seducer label , it's time for the 2nd MCD output "Surrender no resistance".
Both MCD's will be combined for the digital (Sleepless) and vinyl ( Minimal Maximal) release called "Mindless Intrusion".
This years ABC exists for 3 decades and still goin strong !
