Front 242 - Official Version (1986-1987) and Front by Front (1988-1989)

I found these two cds in the local library and they're crammed with great 80s industrial tunes by Front 242. I'm posting both of them under one heading, as they serve beautifully as a neo-classical diptych tripdish.

I presume that most of these tracks will be unknown to many of you. At least I didn't recognise too many (which basically means: none - I'm training to go into politics in order to abolish copyright - might go and live in China instead, saves me the bother). And you get a lot of tracks on these discs: Official Version contains 13, Front by Front 16. The music reminds me somewhat of what Skinny Puppy (see earlier post, March if I'm not mistaken) were doing at the time and during the early 90s. So if you like 80s melodic industrial music, you'll probably love this. It's a lot better than I originally expected and I personally don't think it feels dated at all!

And by the by, it's very dangerous to say about Front 242 that titty or twatty is "probably their best album". For instance, I know a few really smelly Dutchmen who might object to such propositions. But that on an aside...

Oh yeah Master Hierusalaam, forgot to ask: did you want any of the live Front 242 stuff to listen to?
