Gah. Why couldn't that stuff have ever been popular over here? Well, I wouldn't have heard this song back in 1978 (considering I wasn't even born until 1985) but still.

So back in the pioneering age of electronic music the US was actually more progressive than most of Europe. And the same thing happened in the 90's when The Prodigy, Fatboy Slim and The Chemical Brothers rose to superstardom in the US. So there is actually a rather big acceptance for electronic noise in the US. It's mostly a matter of presentation and attitude, it seems. If the surface is right you can get away with surprising things...

Here in Canada, we're pretty serious about supporting our countries artists. There's something of a bylaw that states that on radio and TV stations, at least 20% of the content has to be from Canadian artists.
Looking at the charts in Canada back in the 90's, I do see that those three artists were pretty popular. But I suppose, in my case, I didn't even hear of them until I became a regular user of the internet because of the town I live in, where all the elderly love country and all the young kids love rap and pop. The only other person in town that's into the EBM and all its sub-genres is my sister, and only because I got her into it.

But then again quite a few of the most influential EBM/industrial artists came from Canada: Skinny Puppy, FLA, parts of Ministry...
And in the 80's you had Men Without Hats and Rational Youth. Both bands were on heavy rotation in our boy-rooms around 1983-84.
So perhaps the protectionism pays off?

The photos of the St. Petersburg concert are great. I think I've never seen Daniel Myer without his hat and his glasses before.
Seems like you have had a really good time there!
