Electronic was a British supergroup formed in 1988 by Bernard Sumner of New Order and Johnny Marr of The Smiths. Blending elements of synth-pop, alternative rock, and dance music, the duo created a distinctive sound that stood out in the early '90s music scene. Their debut single, "Getting Away With It," featured Pet Shop Boys' Neil Tennant on vocals and quickly became a hit, setting the tone for their fusion of electronic beats and guitar-driven melodies.
The band released three albums—Electronic (1991), Raise the Pressure (1996), and Twisted Tenderness (1999)—each highlighting their knack for crafting sophisticated, catchy tracks. They collaborated with a range of artists over the years, including Karl Bartos of Kraftwerk, and their work is often celebrated for bridging gaps between alternative rock and the burgeoning electronic music landscape of the '90s. Though the project has been inactive since the early 2000s, Electronic remains a cult favorite among fans of innovative genre-blending music.
