yes, this is from the 80s.

if you like it, you could also check out a band called psychic tv as well as a skinny puppy side project called doubting thomas. there was also a pop band around the period called the klf that took the sound to somewhat infamous places. it's a little outside the genre, but meat beat manifesto is also important in discussing the music of that period. as a style, house originates in detroit and chicago in the early to mid 80s, but you're mostly dealing with isolated singles. a little bit before that, there was a band called cabaret voltaire that is a much better reference point than kraftwerk or tangerine dream or jarre (although nobody's denying those records were listened to).
