Background notes
Archive material and source history
Factory 81 formed in the Netherlands in the early 1990s with Mark van der Loo on vocals and keyboards, Marcel van der Loo on bass and programming, and Wesley van der Kooij on drums. They worked in the electro-industrial vein, drawing from bands like Depeche Mode and Front 242.
Their 1991 single "14 Left" became a notable track in the industrial underground. They released albums including "Factory 81" in 1992, "Heaven" in 1994, and "Deconstruction" in 1996. Other songs in their catalog include "3 O'Clock Love Letter," "Belligerence," and "Diary Of A Serial Killer."
They collaborated with artists such as Recoil and Laibach. Their music sometimes drew criticism for its dark themes while finding an audience that appreciated its atmospheric quality.
