Biography

There are three bands called Sonar: an al band from Hungary, a Belgian industrial act and an italian house/trance act.

about the Belgian one:
During the last ten years sonar has become one of the most well-known and appreciated rhythmic-industrial projects. Countless releases and high-energetic live performances assured their top position in this genre. For those unfamiliar, Sonar’s sound can be described as synthesized outbursts, strategically placed samples and droning bass pulses, corseted in strict driving beats and minimalistic sequences. Presently the sonar line-up consists of Dirk Ivens (Dive, The Klinik,Absolute Body Control) and Eric Van Wonterghem (Monolith, Insekt,Absolute Body Control).

    de gáz, hogy itt is egybe teszik a Sonar(B)-t a magyarral . . . rájöttem miért játszott előbb olyan sonart , amit még nem ismeretem, mert az a magyar volt . nem lehet ezt kettéválasztani? mi van ha valaki csak az egyiket szeretné hallgatni?

    unaesthetic: If you don't know them already, try Esplendor Geométrico. 100blumen is also worth a shot. I always found Sonar to have such an unique style with their pureness I haven't heard much that is similar. But as Sonar sometimes is very close to techno, in terms of that "stripped-down, basic, noisy loop structure", maybe there is something you'll like: Takaaki Itoh, Go Hiyama, Surgeon, British Murder Boys, Exium, Reeko. Stuff like that, though most of it isn't nearly as noisy as Sonar.

    ooh, haven't listened to this for quite a while... forgot just how bloody good this is! other than the obvious converter/imminent starvation/dive/p·a·l, is there anything similar, with this stripped-down, basic, noisy loop structure?

    jó lenne ha nem csak ezt a belga noise/indust bandát adná ki...meg a magyar Sonar amúgy is jobb sokkal! =P
