One of the first supergroups from post-punk Great Britain, Electronic is the on-off project formed by <a href="spotify:artist:0yNLKJebCb8Aueb54LYya3">New Order's</a> <a href="spotify:artist:0JLWCJW5fXlpK5FujWv1N3">Bernard Sumner</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:2bA2YuQk2ID3PWNXUhQrWS">Johnny Marr</a>, former guitarist of <a href="spotify:artist:3yY2gUcIsjMr8hjo51PoJ8">the Smiths</a>. The duo released "Getting Away with It" in December 1989, with both <a href="spotify:artist:0JLWCJW5fXlpK5FujWv1N3">Sumner</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:1dfUmPiIel95MFXvQMUAED">Neil Tennant</a> of <a href="spotify:artist:2ycnb8Er79LoH2AsR5ldjh">the Pet Shop Boys</a> on vocals. The single just missed the Top Ten in England, but was the end of Electronic for over two years; <a href="spotify:artist:0JLWCJW5fXlpK5FujWv1N3">Sumner</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:1dfUmPiIel95MFXvQMUAED">Tennant</a> returned to their respective groups while <a href="spotify:artist:2bA2YuQk2ID3PWNXUhQrWS">Marr</a> played on albums by <a href="spotify:artist:7cKtqv9cYVlOwnuCFH95ce">The The</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:5yXAFDZNUNyO92l5WTImkO">Billy Bragg</a>.
Electronic's sophomore single "Get the Message" finally appeared in April 1991, and an eponymous debut album followed in June. The non-album single "Disappointed" was released just over a year later. <a href="spotify:artist:0JLWCJW5fXlpK5FujWv1N3">Sumner</a> then returned to <a href="spotify:artist:0yNLKJebCb8Aueb54LYya3">New Order</a> to record their sixth album Republic, while <a href="spotify:artist:2bA2YuQk2ID3PWNXUhQrWS">Marr</a> returned to his sideman role with <a href="spotify:artist:7cKtqv9cYVlOwnuCFH95ce">The The</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:0GByy3DcfbQwDvXGCWmzv9">the Pretenders</a>. The duo reunited to record again -- this time with help from former <a href="spotify:artist:0dmPX6ovclgOy8WWJaFEUU">Kraftwerk</a> member Karl Bartos -- and released Raise the Pressure in July 1996. Newly signed to the Koch label, Electronic issued their third full-length Twisted Tenderness four years later. ~ John Bush, Rovi
