The Beloved

Techno
Techno

The Beloved is a Techno act. Their sound grew out of Electric Ladyland, Robert Fripp and Sparks. Those roots explain a lot about how The Beloved arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Pet Shop Boys, Erasure, Propaganda, Bomb the Bass and Ultravox, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Bent, Depeche Mode, WestBam and System 7, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 27 connections around The Beloved, reaching back through Electric Ladyland and forward to Bent.
