Meat Beat Manifesto, often shortened to Meat Beat or MBM, is an electronic music group originally consisting of Jack Dangers and Jonny Stephens formed in 1987 in Swindon, UK. The band, fronted by Dangers (the only permanent member), has proven versatile over the years, experimenting with techno, jungle (drum'n'bass), IDM, industrial, dub, and jazz fusion while touring the world and influencing major acts such as Nine Inch Nails and The Prodigy. Some of the band's earlier work has been credited with partially influencing the rise of the trip-hop and drum'n'bass genres. Dangers and Stephens had formed UK pop band Perennial Divide in 1986 with Paul Freeguard and released the first couple of Meat Beat Manifesto singles as a side project. However, they left Perennial Divide altogether in 1988 to record a full Meat Beat album. Unfortunately the tapes of what would have been the debut MBM album were destroyed in a studio fire before it could be released. The pair then recorded the LP Storm The Studio, which got them pigeonholed as an industrial act because of its release by Wax Trax Records. In response, they released 99%, which was more techno-influenced, in May 1990. In August of the same year, they released Armed Audio Warfare, which was an effort to re-create the lost tracks of the would-be debut album.
