VNV Nation - Judgement (2007)

VNV Nation are a British/Irish electronic music band originally from Wexford, Ireland and London, United Kingdom and now based in Hamburg, Germany. They combine elements of electro-industrial, trance, synthpop and electronic body music (EBM). The "VNV" in the name stands for Victory, not Vengeance, in keeping with the group's motto, "One should strive to achieve, not sit in bitter regret." The group's first album, Advance and Follow, was released in 1995. This was a mixture of danceable synthesizer melodies and harsh electronic beats firmly in the tradition of middle-era EBM, supplemented with elements of orchestral music. Their next release, 1998's Praise the Fallen, continued largely in this vein, and they began to enjoy a larger degree of commercial success. For a long time VNV has a place on my primary choices, and stands among my favourite acts.
