Front 242 : Mixed by fear EP 1990


One of the most consistent industrial bands of the 1980s, even though they regularly pursued a more electronic variant of the sound that swept into vogue during the '90s, Front 242 were the premier exponent of European electronic music. Initially, the group was just a duo when formed in October 1981 in Brussels; programmers Patrick Codenys and Dirk Bergen recorded "Principles" and released the single on New Dance Records. A year later, programmer Daniel Bressanutti (aka Daniel B. Prothese) and lead vocalist Jean-Luc de Meyer joined as well; dubbed Front 242 because of the name's universal meaning and united connotations, the quartet debuted in 1982 with the single "U-Men" and album Geography, recorded for Red Rhino Europe Records (RRE).
This album was released by Play It Again Sam Records in 1990 (all music review)

  2. Somehow I missed this one when it came out. Early 242 is the best 242. Many thanks for a working link!

  3. It's not an early stuff. This one is taken from the mid-period of Front's work, when techno influences firstly appear in their sound.
