Formed in 1979 by Dirk Ivens and Eric Van Wonterghem in Belgium, Absolute Body Control is a pioneering force in minimal synth and electronic body music. Emerging from the same scene that birthed The Klinik and Dive, the duo became known for their stark analog sound, hypnotic rhythms, and cold, emotive vocals. After a hiatus in the mid-1980s, they reunited in the 2000s, bringing their influential blend of raw electronics and minimal wave aesthetics to new audiences worldwide.
