Nitzer Ebb – Control Im Here Edition Number One (Command Control Confront) (US 12″)

Burning The Ground Exclusive 1989

When researching songs that I wanted to include for PRIDE Month I wanted to step outside of the box because PRIDE music is not just Disco or Divas there are also many other genres to seek out including EBM/Industrial music which was quite popular in the mid-late 80’s a homoerotic militaristic style of dance music which was a leather scene favorite. It was subversively left-wing beneath its macho surface. Bands like Nitzer Ebb tapped into this subgenre.

“Control I’m Here” was the first single released by British EBM project Nitzer Ebb taken from their second and upcoming studio album “Belief”. It reached #100 in the UK Single Chart, and #14 on the US Billboard Dance Chart. the single was co-produced by Post-punk record producer and DJ, Flood (Mark Ellis) known for his work with A-ha, Depeche Mode, Erasure, Nine Inch Nails, U2, and many other bands.

Seduction – You’re My One And Only (True Love) (US 12″ Promo)

Burning The Ground Exclusive 1989

Request

“(You’re My One and Only) True Love” is a single by Seduction. Although uncredited, the lead vocals and background vocals were performed by Martha Wash, with additional background vocals by Seduction.

In 1989, Wash recorded the song “(You’re My One and Only) True Love” as a demo, produced by David Cole who would later form C+C Music Factory. Cole later gave the song to the then-upcoming female group Seduction. The song appeared on Seduction’s debut album Nothing Matters Without Love, released in September 1989, retaining the use of Wash’s lead vocals and adding Seduction’s background vocals to the song. In addition, she was only credited for her background vocals and Cole remixed and altered Wash’s lead vocals of the song to make her voice less recognizable on the song.

“(You’re My One and Only) True Love” was released as Seduction’s second single in July 1989. The single became an unexpected success when it peaked at number twenty-three on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and number three on the Dance chart. Wash would file a lawsuit against the producers and A&M Records for unauthorized use of her voice. The case reached an out-of-court settlement in December 1990.

Martha Wash was also uncredited as lead vocalist on tracks from Black Box, and C+C Music Factory.

Martha Wash did not appear in the song’s music video instead Seduction lip-synced to her vocals.
