Emmon dates
In On Stage - our Scandinavian live guide.

The legendary British synthpop band OMD has reunited. The new album "The History of Modern" and a new tour are just around the corner. Release Fredrik "Schlatta" Svensson was given the opportunity to interview OMD in Glasgow. It turned out to be an interesting conversation about the past, present and future.

After the somewhat disappointing album "Artificial Soldier" Bill Leeb and his friends in Front Line Assembly took their time before releasing a new full-length. Now the strong "Improvised. Electronic. Device" is here, and it's time for Johan Carlsson to have another chat with Bill Leeb.
To the Spotlight

Nitzer Ebb's strong comeback full-length "Industrial Complex" finally saw the light of day a couple of months ago. Release' Peter Marchione talked to Bon Harris about Nitzer Ebb - past, present and future. And Fredrik "Schlatta" Svensson has taken a row of new pics of Nitzer Ebb both on and off stage.
