FRONT 242 - No Comment/Politics Of Pressure (CD)

« No Comment » and « Politics Of Pressure » were released in 1984 and 1985 respectively, at a time when FRONT 242 had completed its lineup with Daniel B., Patrick Codenys, Jean-Luc De Meyer, and Richard « 23 » Jonckheere, and began to build a loyal audience. They established themselves as the leading figures of the emerging « electronic body music » movement, thanks to their punk electronic music, both high-tech and incisive. They also forged their current cult image: a hyperactive live band, dressed in military outfits and ready to conquer the world, which would become one of the most popular underground bands for many years. Tracks like the hits « No Shuffle », « Commando Mix », and « Funkhadafi » have firmly cemented their reputation as pioneers of the experimental industrial dance scene, blending engaged samples, complex sequencing, and aggressive electro rhythms. Since its inception, FRONT 242 has used the latest technologies to ensure that its music remains innovative and current, constantly pushing the boundaries of its style. The unique, cold, and synthetic sound of the electronic music in « No Comment » and « Politics Of Pressure » has instantly become the band's signature for decades to come. It is a true pleasure for the ears to rediscover these great classics in their fully remastered versions, reminding us how this second album firmly established the band as a driving force in electronic music for many years.
