Mentallo's signature basses were from the CZ-101, which is from a series or low-cost phase distortion synthesizers.

A lot of bands also used FM synths like the DX series for their bases.

Creating patches for both of those can be pretty challenging IMHO as they work quite different from other analog synths.

    Racism they took head on more, but gender/sexuality they had to be more creative so as to keep berman and the execs from figuring it out.

    Gender and sexuality have made leaps and bounds since then and episodes that deal with it similarly now are more likely to be broadcast. It's the same spirit as before, just catching up with the times.

  • Death Come Crawling - Nothing To Find (i-voidhangerrecords.bandcamp.com)
     
    All the years slowly waste away
    All the memories fading in the shade
    Your existence is in question now
    Try one last time, try to fight again
    
    Cold and lonely
    you walk through the night
    You’re slowly stumbling in
    The fading moonlight
    You turn to see all
    your journey behind
    But in the darkness
    There’s nothing to find
    Bold and lonely
    You call to the night
    You’re slowly crumbling
    You’ll give up the fight
    You look to see all
    The journey ahead
    But all you see is death
    
    Come the morning you slowly wake
    Will the sunlight, even stir your eyes
    Dream of past times, wander in your mind
    Take the journey, face the troubled times

    Jan Bicker, best known as one of the members of 1990s EBM act Abscess, in a solo project from 2018.

    no-one knows anything
    but everything is under control
    so smile and operate as always
    don't look back
    don't waste time
    
    try to take control
    on high-speed
    in this high-speed society
    
    I'm on high-speed
    in this high-speed society
    
    consume
    excrete
    increase the dose
    repeat
    raise the stakes
    you're toxic waste anyway
    take your poison
    for relaxation
    take your medicine
    for relief
    and try to take control
    on high-speed
    in this high-speed society
