Electronic Body Music from Copenhagen

Material Audio is the home for a number of acts from the Copenhagen EBM scene.

Good Courage: Old, Broken & Destroyed

This 1995-album originally released on Danish label Hard Records has long been regarded as an underground classic in the electronic and industrial music scenes. Now, the album returns with a fresh remaster, bringing renewed clarity and power to its timeless dark soundscapes.

The project "Good Courage" was the brainchild of producers Jacob Neis and Henrik Jensen—best known as founding members of Neotek—alongside American vocalist and lyricist Eric Nelson from Placerville, California. The result was a raw yet melodic fusion of darkwave synthpop and industrial elements, deeply inspired by the sonic experimentation of early Depeche Mode, Nitzer Ebb, Front 242, and Einstürzende Neubauten.

Defined by its brooding atmospheres, aggressive synth programming, and intricate sampled metal hits and noises, *Old, Broken & Destroyed* stood out in the mid-'90s electronic landscape. Nelson’s haunting yet powerful vocal delivery, reminiscent of Robert Smith (The Cure) and Dave Gahan (Depeche Mode), brought authenticity and depth to the album’s introspective and darkly personal lyrics.

With this remastered edition, longtime fans and newcomers alike will experience Good Courage’s landmark release with unprecedented depth and fidelity.

Neotek: Sex, Murder & Rock'n'Roll

Originally released in 2009, this was already a classic when it came out, as the band had toured with most of the tracks for quite some time.
After having been removed from all major streaming platforms for some time, we are proud and excited to make this dark and energetic album available for old and new fans.
Get ready to enjoy one of the greatest EBM albums to ever come out of Denmark, with classic tracks such as Revolver, My Shiny 44, Alive and Right Or Wrong.
