Showtime is the third album by the BritishEBM group Nitzer Ebb.[1] It featured the singles "Lightning Man" and "Fun to Be Had", the latter of which was later remixed by George Clinton. "Getting Closer" was also released as a single. Nitzer Ebb supported the album by touring with Depeche Mode.[2]
The Washington Post wrote that "with nothing more than synth (employed principally for percussion) and shout, the Ebbs construct grooves of surprising fluidity and even humanity."[6] The St. Petersburg Times determined that "Nitzer Ebb's brooding, Teutonic lyrics are not appealing in arrangements more reminiscent of Cabaret than Cabaret Voltaire."[7] The Calgary Herald concluded that "Brits Douglas McCarthy and Bon Harris do a little minimalist fiddling with synthesizers and do a lot of hollering about pop stars, the media and life's seamier side."[4]
