OH RAD! Old school EBM stylists Kommando XY have a track on their debut album Welcome to Gestrikland that sings the vocoded praises of the Sega Genesis! Named for one of Sega's delighful slogans from the early nineties (pre-dating the release of the SNES I think) the track shouts out numerous beloved Sega franchises like Alex Kidd, Wonderboy and Golden Axe. It's pretty silly, but for the faithful like yours truly it's also a loving tribute to one of the great consoles of yesteryear. The rest of the album is pretty hot, it delivers on the promise of old school DAF style EBM that bands like Spetsnaz have largely squandered.
Kommando XY, "Genesis Does (What Nintendon't)"

I remain a Nintendo fan boy with much love for the SNES in particular, but "Mortal Kombat mit masse blut" is an awesome line. What the hell was that stuff being knocked out of the fighters on the SNES port supposed to be? Sweat? Phlegm?
