Influenced by bands from the German and UK electronic scene,
Dirk Ivens (synths & voice) formed ABSOLUTE BODY CONTROL early
1980, and was joined by Mark de Jonghe (synths) and Veerle de
Schepper (backing vocals). After a first track on a compilation
and a first 7" single (Is there an exit?), Mark leaves the band
and Eric van Wonterghem (who was in fact a spectator at the
first ABC concert), filled in the gap and became Dirk's new
musical partner for years to come. Soon ABC became one of the
first Belgian electronic acts who proved to be succesfull also on stage. In 1984
Dirk became a member of "The Klinik", followed by Eric who left
after the 2nd album to form Insekt. In 1989 they released their
last tape "Tracks" which contained all ABC compilation
contributions so far,
but the band was put on non active well before. However, the
public interest was still there and resulted in the release of a
first ABC CD: "Eat this" (1993) on the German VUZ label (the
same label that ædiscovered' :Wumspcut:). Many people re-
discovered the band and ABC releases became much sought after
collectors items. Still, it took them over 22 years to reform
and play at festivals all over Europe from year 2006 onwards.
After releasing new versions of classic tracks like 'Figures'
and 'Give me your hands' on the (deleted) 'Wind[re]wind' album
(2008), and the extremely successful (also deleted) 'Lost/Found'
2CD, here now a FULL collection of all their 'lost' works from
1981 to 1989 - previously released on Vinyl only (on the æVinyl on demand'-
Label) and now for the first time ever available in digital
format on this sumptuous 5-CD box-set. Full tracklist to follow
shortly, but it will be similar to the tracklist of the VINYL
edition of year 2007.
