Description

Remyl makes experimental electronic music. Labeled by some[ who? ] as industrial and as dark ambient by others.[ who? ] It is often inspired by science fiction themes and man/machine relations. The tracks vary between instrumentals and songs with heavily processed or synthesized voices. Sometimes the lyrics themselves are synthesized using specially written software. The instrumentation is purely made up by synthesizers, samplers, various processing equipment and sometimes software.

Remyl performed live once at Cosmopolite in Oslo May 20, 1993.

They made a live computer performance at the Cyberiad club in connection with the release of the reincarnation of the sun compilation in 1994, where an Acorn Archimedes computer rendered self-developed visual accompaniment in real time along with pre-recorded music. The members prefer anonymity, letting the music and imagery speak for itself. On public appearances, they have been dressed in white protective suits and gas masks.

Although nothing has been released for many years, Remyl considers itself to be in stasis rather than broken up.

In 2010, a bootlegged digital release of the album Disruptor forced Remyl to revitalise its label Bootsector and to release its back catalogue for digital distribution. A digital EP with all existing versions, 2.00 through 6.00, of the classic Golden Triangle was released in January under the title The Golden Triangle Recollected.

The first new material since 1996 was released as the digital EP Slavery of Survival on February 1, 2010. Presented in the Norwegian numeric date format (dd.mm.yyyy) the release date spells 01.02.2010.

Chiptune style of synthesized electronic music

Chiptune, also known as chip music, is a style of synthesized electronic music made using the programmable sound generator (PSG) sound chips or synthesizers in vintage arcade machines, computers and video game consoles. The term is commonly used to refer to tracker format music which intentionally sounds similar to older PSG-created music, as well as music that combines PSG sounds with modern musical styles. It has been described as "an interpretation of many genres" since any existing song can be arranged in a chiptune style defined more by choice of instrument and timbre than specific style elements.

Frente!

Frente! were an Australian alternative rock and folk-pop group which originally formed in 1989. The original line-up consisted of Simon Austin on guitar and backing vocals, Angie Hart on lead vocals, Tim O'Connor on bass guitar, and Mark Picton on drums. In August 1991, they issued their debut extended play, Whirled, which included the track, "Labour of Love". In March 1992, they released a second EP, Clunk, with its featured track, "Ordinary Angels", which peaked at No. 3 on the ARIA Singles Chart. It was followed in October by "Accidently Kelly Street" which reached No. 4. Their debut album, Marvin the Album, issued in November, peaked at No. 5 on the ARIA Albums Chart. "Labour of Love" was released as an EP outside of Australasia in 1994 as a CD single with a cover version of New Order's "Bizarre Love Triangle" included. The Australian rock music historian Ian McFarlane felt that the group's "quirky, irreverent, acoustic-based sound was at odds with the usual guitar-heavy, grunge trends of the day. The band's presentation had a tweeness about it that could have been off-putting if not for its genuine freshness and honesty".
