Absolute Body Control, a Belgian synthpop and industrial music project formed in 1979 by Dirk Ivens. Initially featuring Marc De Jonghe on synthesizers and Veerle De Schepper on vocals, Eric Van Wonterghem replaced De Jonghe in 1981. The group released several cassettes and the single "Is There an Exit?," gaining popularity through connections with Sandy Nijs and the international cassette exchange network. In 2006, Ivens and Van Wonterghem revived Absolute Body Control for live performances. The project continued with compilations such as Wind[Re]Wind (2007), Mindless Intrusion (2011), and Forbidden Games (2016).
