#003 - à;GRUMH...

Hmmmm... Again a Belgian EBM artist. Again "never-heard" about this artist either, the name is interesting though - à;GRUMH... (pronounced: "ah-groom"). Also this band was run by duo and they were active between 1981-91, so resemblance to the previous artist A Split-Second is huge. Music is though little bit different at least. à;GRUMH... is more like electro version of British post punk band of the Eighties. Especially 1989 released A Hard Day's Knight album fits into that definition.

I'm not that fond of this post punk genre, but I have to admit that every once in a while this sounds also really good. This kind of music has suffered quite a bit soundwise lately (80s sound is just 80s sound and at least I've gotten used to little "newer sound") , but at least those later à;GRUMH... releases sounds still surprisingly good. Check out for example this Danger Zone track from A Hard Day's Knight album.
