	dso audio music reviews VNV Nation
		It seems clear that VNV Nation has decided that, in comparison to the monumental Praise The Fallen and Empires, Advance and Follow wasn't up to their subsequent high, self-imposed standards and is already something of a musical anachronism in their output.
		However, there are some notable exceptions, and VNV Nation definitely qualify; the love both Ronan Harris and Mark Jackson have for live performance is clearly apparent, and Ronan is one of the great frontmen in the genre.
		For a band that has always kept tight control over their image, including their black sleeve designs, the light grey sleeve to VNV Nation's fourth album should be a big enough clue to anyone that this was a marked step onto another level for the future pop pioneers.

	Heathen Harvest - Reviews: VNV Nation - Matter + Form
		Having bought a previous release by VNV Nation released in 1999 titled “Empires” I have to admit that I was not smitten with the band during this time of their recording history.
		The fact that VNV Nation even attempts a soft serenade of neoclassical music is in and of itself a testament to the bands musical skill and innovation.
		Matter + Form is VNV Nation's fifth full length album and it sees the band breaking a previously achieved plateau as the music and lyricism has matured into a seamless blend of pulsing electronics and personalized and poetical lyricism.

	VNV Nation - Praise The Fallen
		VNV Nation have been around for a few years now but, until the release of this album, hadn't made a particularly huge splash.
		Ronan Harris (who is VNV Nation) has a refreshingly different vocal delivery, and the music itself not only has a solid identity of its own, but varies considerably over the course of the album.
		VNV Nation seem to tread a similar narrow path between classic EBM and synthpop to that taken by

		VNV Nation is still finishing up their fourth album, FuturePerfect, which from Harris’ preliminary description seems a concept album steeped in the sort of social commentary you might get if you locked Aldous Huxley and William Gibson in a room together.
		VNV Nation remains a two-person act even on their live shows — Jackson plays drums and Harris sings.
		Characterized by sweeping string pads, rapid-fire melodic arpeggiations and hypnotic beats, VNV Nation’s more recent releases show Harris’ evolution as a vocalist, relying less on effect processors and more on melodic hooks and lyrics that spring from the metaphor of life as a battle.

		Every time VNV Nation releases an album, I tend to be disappointed in the first listen, then somehow it lures me in and I become completely in love with it.
		VNV Nation has always been a band that has never shied from attempting new thing.
		Future pop is the term for industrial artists such as VNV who aren’t abrasive or hard sounding as say, Wumpscut or Suicide Commando, but still retain enough of an edge to not be labeled a pop band that happens to have electronics such as Erasure or Pet Shop Boys.

	New record label for VNV Nation :: ReGen :: Industrial, synthpop, electronic, alternative music magazine
		The label was founded by VNV Nation members Ronan Harris, Mark Jackson and the group?s manager Kai Lotze as the logical answer to the question of finding a new label that would allow VNV Nation to grow and reach new people without compromising or endangering the elements which have made the sound so unique.
		Nevertheless, VNV Nation were very clear about the requirements that any suitable label would have to adhere to in order for the artists to consider any potential new home.
		Abstract and sometimes intangible elements have made VNV Nation what they are and are not a formula to be identified, simplified and then exploited.

	VNV Nation - Praise The Fallen - Review
		Recently, a friend played me some of his VNV Nation (the VNV stands for 'Victory Not Vengence') and I was instantly hooked.
		In fact, that description isn't completely accurate, as there are bits of Nitzer Ebb, Front 242, and even a hint of Depeche Mode in the VNV Nation.
		Favoring different techniques and less of the standard guitar riff crunch, groups were doing different things with the music, but I just didn't happen to hear it going on.

	VNV Nation: Praise the Fallen: Pitchfork Review
		Musically, VNV (short for "Victory Not Vengeance") Nation began as an entry into the rapidly evolving experimental dance music scene in 1990 but has since migrated into the brash world of darkwave industrial.
		VNV Nation may find themselves as something of an alien anachronism.
		Possibly best shown in the obvious radio cut (if any) off the album, the track "Voice" hearkens back to the time VNV Nation toured with Nitzer Ebb, and mimics the Ebb's in- yer- face slogan-chanting over drums with mathematical precision.

	VNV Nation a WP band? - Stormfront White Nationalist Community
		VNV is not WN from what I've heard about some things played at their concerts, however a lot of their music has very nationalistic lyrics in it.
		The only way I've heard of VNV Nation is through a remix they have done of Apoptygma Berzerk, but I'll check out their stuff on Kazaa.
		I've met the guys from VNV Nation before and I'm pretty sure they don't have WP leanings.

	vnv nation: remembrance days: tone of the unknown soldier
		For the most part, the themes presented in VNV Nation's work are intrinsically complex and multi-dimensional.
		Reportedly, a VNV Nation concert is more than entertaining, it's inspiring.
		At the time, word of VNV had only begun to ripple across the Atlantic and Harris radiated an aura of anonymity in the expansive club.

		And the thing I like is that my friends tend to be people who either hate VNV Nation or I don’t like their music and that’s what I like.
		With the Dark City Festival in full swing, I hunt down Ronan Harris, VNV nation mainman, and the life and soul of ANY party..
		Don’t bad mouth VNV in front of me, because these boys are SOLID GOLD.

	Moving Hands Music Magazine - VNV Nation, FuturePerfect
		I think VNV Nation once again are on the right track, and I really hope they will continue this way...
		One track that surprised me though was "Structure" which doesn't sound like a VNV Nation song at all.

	Amazon.com: Genesis.2: Music: VNV Nation
		Still, when I saw that VNV Nation would have a new album coming within a month of these releases and that the two Genesis singles had new tracks on them, I found myself unable to resist their pull.
		So, if you are a VNV Nation consumer already and are looking for something more to take into your homes, this works out well.
		Within FuturePerfect, there were quite a few songs that went beyond the typical VNV Nation sounds and approached some of the works with somber, more saddening, sounds.

		In February of this year, I was lurking on Mieu Sedai's Fangirl's ML and one of her friends(Lumina) mentioned VNV Nation.
		However, just a couple months ago(like the very beginning of August), a hard-hitting, sudden, unexpected and unusually strong obsession hit me: VNV Nation.
		A couple of the replies advised for her to get the VNV Nation song.

		Having seen many other electronic bands in action, I can easily say that VNV Nation are true masters of their craft and do not disappoint at any level.
		Once the audience had been engulfed by these captivating sounds, VNV Nation took command and delivered a high-energy performance unlike any I had ever seen.
		Being a devoted EBM (Electronic Body Music) fan for several years, I was thrilled to witness the opening performance of the VNV Nation/Apoptygma Berzerk US Tour at the Saint Nightclub in Ft. Lauderdale.

		I preserve a Stockdale Paradoxical conviction that there is a place in the world for design thinkers that includes and embraces the intelligence and contributions of designers from all nations.
		Exciting times, and in times like these, I find my loyalty tied to creating greater value by meeting human needs and business goals, loyalty not to a nation, but to design.
		Studying the current tea offerings, I think that the vocabulary and embedded philosophy are what Rubin really bought - an Eastern-flavored view of “sip-by-sip” living is what set the Republic of Tea apart from competitors like Tazo and Stash, though they are pursuing similar lifestyle messages.

	Amazon.com: Solitary EP: Music: VNV Nation
		Forsaken from Praise the Fallen frankly isn't one of my favorites, but the strength of the vocals and lyrics (as is typical with VNV Nation) make it go from "pretty good" to "omg".
		VNV has quite recently became a electronica dance favourite of mine since listening to the 'Futureperfect' album.
		VNV has some of the best lyrics around, if you don't believe me check out a earlier song 'Holding On' and you will be a convert.
