Introduction:
Today is the 24th February… short: 24/2 … For some electro heads it is the EBM day (242 from “Front 242”). So we want to celebrate this day with one of the most influencing EBM bands which also had a strong effect on us. Nitzer Ebb.

Nitzer Ebb was initially formed in Chelmsford, Essex by school friends Douglas McCarthy [lead vocals, guitar], Vaughn ‘Bon’ Harris [vocals, percussion, guitar] and David Gooday [percussion] in the mid 1980’s. The trio caught the attention of PWL producer Phil Harding, who then produced their 1985 debut single “Isn’t It Funny How Your Body Works?” and helped them set up their own label, Power Of Voice Communications.

After three single on their own imprint they signed with the legendary Mute label, run by Daniel Miller. The debut album “That Total Age” followed some hit single “Murderous” & “Let Your Body Learn”. 4 other great albums were released on Mute until 1994 – “Belief”, “Showtime”, “Ebbhead” & “Big Hit”.

Then the band broke up for more than 10 years. In 2009 they reunited for the release of “Industrial Complex” album on Major Records.

This is a special about New Order – the legendary Manchester band formed in 1980 by Bernard Sumner, Peter Hook & Stephen Morris after the tragic death of Ian Curtis and the end of Joy Division.

New Order combine(d) post-punk and synth-pop but also other electronic dance music like Acid House. So they got an important part of the British music scene of the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s.

They had several hits like “Bizzare Love Triangle”, “True Faith” and the club hit “Blue Monday”/”Blue Monday 88” which is still part of some DJ sets.

After Hooky’s abandoning New Order consists of Bernard Sumner, Gillian Gilbert, Stephen Morris, Tom Chapman and Phil Cunningham nowadays.
