Remastered from the original Wax Trax! reel to reel tapes, this 40th anniversary edition is a perfect look back into why FRONT 242 are the undisputed EBM masters! Remastered by Bob Weston.
Front 242 formalize the blueprint for electronic body music, replacing industrial abrasion with structure, discipline, and intent.
Released in 1984, the album marks a defining moment in the emergence of EBM as a distinct form, separating Front 242 from the looser industrial electronics of their contemporaries. Its emphasis on control, repetition, and functionality established a vocabulary that would shape club-oriented electronic music for decades.
Rigid sequenced basslines, clipped vocal commands, and tightly programmed rhythms give the record its unmistakable mechanical drive. The production is stark and efficient, prioritizing precision and momentum over atmosphere or ornamentation.
Recommended for listeners drawn to foundational EBM releases, early Front 242 material, and albums that define a genre through discipline and clarity rather than excess.
