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.
