The Neon Judgement

The Neon Judgement Is A Belgian New Wave Band Formed In Leuven In 1981 By Dirk Da Davo Keyboards/vocalist And TB Frank Guitarist/vocalist . These Belgian Musicians Have Often Been Considered The Pioneers Of Electronic Body Music EBM Together With Another Belgian Band Front 242. EBM Is A High-Tech Genre From The Early '80s Combining Industrial And Electro Music From Which Later Originated New Beat And Techno. Davo Da Davo And TB Frank Veered Between Minimalistic Industrial Drones And Odd New Wave Synthpop And Dance Music Underlain By Cold Mechanical Rhythms. Their Initial Music Is Aggressive Danceable And Dominated By Synthesizers And Drum-Machines. A Bit Later On In Their Career The Guitar Also Had A Prominent Place In Their Music. The Neon Judgement Recorded Most Of Their Output For The Play It Again Sam Label In Belgium Beginning With 1986's Mafu Cage. Their First American Release Did Not Come Until 1987 With The Sex-Themed Concept Album Horny As Hell. Subsequent Recordings Included Blood And Thunder 1989 The Insult 1990 And Are You Real 1992 . The Duo Took A Three-Year Hiatus To Rethink The Direction Of Their Music After Which They Returned In 1995 With At Devil's Fork An LP Recorded With Percussionist Ben Forceville Entirely In A Wooded Area. The Band Briefly Stopped Performing In 1998 But Reformed In 2004 And Started Performing Live Again To Promote A Series Of Remixes And Re-Releases Of Their Material. The Touring Continued Into 2006 With The Band Promising On Their Website That "Live The Neon Judgement Will Continue To Give Art Terrorism A Good Name Finding New Ways Of Marrying Noise And Beauty Machines And Magic".
