There's also space for some classic synthpop on this years' BIMFEST.
Some months ago these guys proved in Ghent that they're as good as they were in 1982 and you can bet they will blow you away in Antwerp as well!
Relive the hits and the new gems from their Blanc Burn-album this weekend.
The new video for Evidemment was shot in November off the Normandy coast by Norwegian photographer and film maker Frode Fjerdingstad, who is behind Lykke Li, El Perro Del Mar,We are Serenades or Shout Out Louds videos and Swedish photographerCarl Von Arbin (album cover photo), who is also a graphic designer and guitarist forShout Out Louds.
The video was shot onboard the « Aztec Lady » : after sailing all over the world under a British flag she was then sold to a Dutch ship-owner and led a life also exciting…. in narcotic deal ! In English, ’Aztec Lady’ is a magic trick that consists in making magicians’ assistants disappear. A sign, maybe? The ship was finally seized by French customs and is now the property of Capitaine Pierre Lehuby. She accompaniedBADEN BADEN off the Chausey islands for a day and a song.
A pleasant way to dive once again in Baden Baden’s pop universe

Electric Voice announces compilation featuring Tropic of Cancer, Genesis P-Orridge, Martial Canterel and more
On this deluxe compilation, Electric Voice Records offers yet another exploration of historical and contemporary underground music. Whereas last year’s Electric Voice V/A release focused on alternative approaches to electronic pop music, this new album mines a darker spectrum of genres, one that spans more than three decades of minimalist synth and industrial work. Here, new generation artists like Tropic of Cancer and Martial Canterel (Xeno & Oaklander) are seen to extend rather than revive the music of their influences. Electric Voice II marries these young artists with pioneers from the beginning days of this music, truly groundbreaking acts like Ike Yard, the first America band to sign with Factory Records, and Throbbing Gristle/Psychic TV’s enigmatic Genesis P-Orridge, now performing some of her most poignant material to date as Thee Majesty. Other featured artists include Das Ding and French group Martin Dupont, who both offer cuts from their respective early 80’s archives. There are also exclusive tracks by ADN’ Ckrystall, Frank (Just Frank), Vita Noctis, and Nine Circles. Taken together, the seamless flow of these tracks, despite the span of generations, makes clear the continued relevance of these practices and pure electronic sounds. To celebrate this collection, acclaimed artist Juan Mendez (Silent Servant) provides cover artwork, with additional design by Dmytrij Wulffius. Brandon Hocura at Polyphasic Studios offers the meticulous final master.
Electric Voice II is scheduled for release in both a digital format and as an edition of 500 LPs on April 1/2013.

A1 Real Eyes - Thee Majesty

The Norwegian and in 1997 founded pre-Combichrist project fronted by Andy LaPlegua aka Icon Of Coil is back to conquer Europe (once again)!
This classic band will be one of the headliners of this year's BIMFest that takes place this Friday and Saturday in Antwerp!
Be there!
After two towering releases on NoiTekk and a slew of outstanding and outlandish remixes for DWA, innovative Canadian electronic duo E-N and Arc aka DYM finally unleash their second full-length “The Technocratic Deception” this December.
Illustrated by Arc and mastered by Kolja Trelle (SOMAN) for maximum bass, with “The Technocratic Deception” DYM show themselves to be no robots in disguise following any scene-formula – rather they prove once again that the only agenda they adhere to is their own, making industrial sounds that truly stand out from the crowd.
Featuring club-friendly cuts like “Let Your Blood Run Dry”, and brilliantly-deployed guest vocal appearances from the likes of CHIASM, “The Technocratic Deception” is deceptively immediate yet richly rewarding on repeated playback…as the listener uncovers layer upon layer of intriguing production, track after track of seemingly infinite variety.
Always at the cutting edge of the electro-industrial scene, with “The Technocratic Deception” DYM demonstrate a depth of talent and technique and a diversity of songwriting ability that should deservedly propel them to even-wider international recognition.
Another first-class electronic act and album, available exclusively from DWA - and for North America from Vendetta Music - with alternate bonus sections for each version!
Initial quantities of the DWA edition come in gatefold 4-panel digipak, strictly limited to 300 copies worldwide.
