    Literally one of the best music interviews I have ever seen. Love the passion for their music that comes through in your questions. Thanks so much for getting these legends on the couch!

    As an old German Electro-goth, i would have loved to see that black community at NitzerEbb concerts back then. Our scene back home was whiter than white and it would have been so interesting to learn how that other sub-culture was celebrating this music.
  • @NOWtheband
    Good questions and chat. I really like your style. It's relaxed, interested and loose, more like a conversation than an interview. šŸ™‚

    I loved and still love the old analogue synths, I had a Roland SH09 and a Korg Poly 800 back in the day. I have two Behringer Pro 1s, a Korg ARP Odyssey and a Roland Alpha Juno 2 these days ..as well as a few others and soft synths in Ableton ...love the huge power and variety of the sounds.

    These were great questions! Congratulations of getting Nitzer Ebb on your show!! I love these guys and their music was wonderful and such a huge part of my coming of age in the 90's (I also love Siouxsi and the Banshees and Bauhaus, as they mentioned). These kinds of artistic business musical partnerships are truly a gift to all involved and it's so fascinating to hear them discuss their music and career. I'm always in such admiration of these kinds of band relationships. Thank you for much for this interview!
  • @Bruisewillies
    Great interview! Funny I never made the connection with EBM and Detroit, but makes total sense after this!
  • @DaveDFX
    I first heard their music at tye alternative clubs in Vancouver. Oh man .. Murderous hits so hard on the floor! I bought all their albums and 12" singles . Did not get a chance to watch them live . Though . Thanks for this great interview!

  • @Alkalino.Munich
    Let Your Body Learn, Hearts & Minds, Murderous, Join in the Chant.Their music really is one of a kind.

    I can confirm... the album ''That Total Age'' is pure gold; I still listen to it regularly as well as the 2 following albums... but ''Total Age'' is my favorite album of all time. Thx N-Ebb
  • @theanachron303
    Thanks for asking about the hardware, so often the Synthesizers are ignored yet play a large role in the sound.
  • @rachelhill1177
