Manufacture was an electronic body music group from Boston, Massachusetts, who released two albums on Nettwerk between 1988 and 1991.
[1] The band was formed when Brian Bothwell, a video artist and student at Boston's School of the Museum of Fine Arts heard a song by electronic musician Perry Geyer on the radio and contacted Geyer to offer to make a video.
[1] They began performing around Boston with a show that consisted of instrumental electronic body music with experimental video projections.
After being invited to contribute vocals to a track they were working on, she returned the next day with the lyrics to "As the End Draws Near".
[1] Geyer became a member of The Sky Dwellers, a trance group which also included Greg Hawkes of The Cars.
