Hopefully there going to be more than for my last posting

not very familiar with EBM, sure does sound distorted.. although alot of the drums sound homogenously distorted.. I'm listening on notebook speakers so it could be horribly off..

I think the result you have here is pretty thick and heavy sounding. Maybe not much of the high end grit from the distortion, not sure if you removed it on purpose or not. But I think a bit more grit could give the sound some more punch, and some more separation. Lots of times, distorted instruments tend to blend because they become noisy, and so it becomes more arbitrary and hard to differenciate. A strong attack helps create the definition.

In terms of harmony... well, it's industrial, electronic so it can be almost anything, just in this case, with the drums being very active, I might have prefered more dissonance and random sounds that kind of have pitch but don't have a structured harmony. It works as is tho, so it's not really a problem, more of a preference.

I'm not familiar with EBM either . . .Evidence Based Medicine?
Evangelical Baptist Missions ?

The ebm-papst EC-i motor delivers higher efficiency and lower noise emissions? No?

Anyway - while I wasn't hooked in by the main synth motif - I enjoyed the distorted percussion and bass sound/riff
Sort of Front 242/ Severed Heads to my ears.

Who/what is/are EBM - I must know

Electric Body Music.
The song sounds like a genre, but I'm not sure what the word "contemporary" means in this context. For me this is 90-95 stuff soundwice.
