The Force Dimension

Band, *1987 NL, Limburg (Netherlands)
Electronic

Originally started as a trio with effect-generator Armin ELMENSDORP at the beginning of 1987, a demo was sent all over the world which resulted in a collaboration with the industrial label "De Fabriek". The first 7" saw the light with a heavy experimental but melodic participation. During the course of 1988 the band appears on several compilations and develops more and more towards Electronic Body Music, though never losing themselves in clichés, always giving the music their very own touch, like atmospheric ingredients. At last by chance, tapes got in hands of KK Records which offered them a record deal. The first album is given into hands of Luc VAN ACKER who wanted to enlarge the audience by adding a PET SHOP BOYS-like production. By lack of time and budget, the result is rather disapointing. The label owner takes then the unique decision to record a second version - the red one - from the same album, produced by the band itself and sounding rougher and harder. After their tenth anniversary in 1997, the band fell apart. In 2011, an attempt was made to a reunion, but this failed. In 2013, however, another attempt to restart was undertaken, now with a different line-up: René van Dijck (synthesizers, vocals) and Betty Correa (vocals, guitar, percussion).
