Front 242 - Angels Versus Animals (1993) and Mut@ge Mix@ge (1997)

Firstly, I would like to thank zpider -on behalf of Your Royal Highness the Queen- for his continued dedicated efforts towards the Commonwealth of Free and Liberal Audiophile States. That being said, here are two more releases for the Front 242 fans. Stay low, lock the door...


Angels Versus Animals was released in 1993, the same year as 05:22:09:12 Off and 06:21:03:11 Up Evil. The album contains mostly remixes of the former album, except for track nine, which is a 17-minute excursion into ultra-minimalist sound (I don't think you can get more minimal than that). I don't know whether I like that track or not, but it's definitely interesting. If you tell a girl, "I don't know wheter I like you or not, but you're definitely interesting," would she be flattered or insulted? Please call 0800-555-6459. Synthed guitars with a lot of distortion, heavy industrial beats and aggressive lyrics is what this album is all about. What I really like about this release is the high quality of production - which means it's super-suitable for headphone paranirvana... Front 242 at the forefront of civil sound wars!

Mut@ge Mix@ge is a very different piece of music. On this release well known artists such as The Orb, Underworld, The Prodigy (3, 2 and 2 tracks, respectively) and others provide remixes of Front 242 tracks - mostly from the "Evil" cds that were posted a little while ago. It also contains "Junkdrome" wich is perhaps one of my favourite "floating trip" electronic bits of all time... This album has a warmer mood than the '93 one, with the typical exception of The Prodigy - suprise, surprise. I love what The Orb and Underworld managed to do here, it's definitely worth a listen. Even if you're not a Front 242 fan (see picture above), chances are you might like this album.
