==Musical style and legacy== Cubanate has been described often as [[electro-industrial]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.allmusic.com/style/electro-industrial-ma0000012207 |title=Electro-Industrial |website=[[AllMusic]] |accessdate=26 September 2017}}</ref> AllMusic wrote that the band "have explored the hybrid style created by mixing [[industrial music]] with the high-speed rhythms of [[techno]]".<ref name="allmusic">{{cite web |last=Bush |first=John |title=Cubanate biography |url=http://www.allmusic.com/artist/cubanate-mn0000140364 |website=[[AllMusic]] |accessdate=31 July 2012}}</ref> The band also has included elements of [[industrial metal]] in some songs, with vocals similar to the vocals of [[Lemmy Kilmister]] of [[heavy metal music|heavy metal]] band [[Motörhead]]. During their heyday, Cubanate's fusion of techno and rock stirred both controversy and influence, with their impact continuing to echo in the present. As one of the rare UK bands labeled 'Industrial' to break into the mainstream, they frequently appeared in a wide range of publications, from [[Kerrang!|Kerrangg!]] to [[Melody Maker]], where they earned multiple "Single of the Week" honors in each. They also featured on MTV's Headbanger's Ball and shared the stage with notable acts like [[Front 242]], [[Gary Numan]], [[Rammstein]], [[The Sisters of Mercy]], and [[Front Line Assembly]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |date=2017-03-23 |title=Cubanate - 'Brutalism' : retrospective collection out 05.05.17 |url=https://www.frontview-magazine.be/en/news/cubanate-brutalism-retrospective-collection-out-050517 |website=frontview-magazine.be}}</ref> "Oxyacetylene" was featured on the 1996 compilation album, ''[[Mortal Kombat: More Kombat]]'', and was later used on the soundtrack of the best-selling 1998 [[PlayStation]] game ''[[Gran Turismo (1997 video game)|Gran Turismo]]'' in the NTSC and EU versions.
