Arbeit Adelt! is a Belgian electronic and art-pop group formed in 1981 by Marcel Vanthilt and Jan Van Roelen. The band debuted with the single "Ik sta scherp" (1981), followed by their breakthrough hit "De dag dat het zonlicht niet meer scheen" (1982). Their early discography includes the landmark albums Jonge helden (1983) and Le chagrin en quatre-vingts (1983). After a brief tenure by guitarist Luc Van Acker and a hiatus beginning in 1984, the group reunited to release Des duivels oorkussen (1991) via Virgin Records. They released the live recording Live@AB2011 in 2011 and the studio album Slik in 2015.
