	Front 242 interview
		Front 242 music is also very white: although it's dance music, there's scarcely an ounce of funk in it.
		On the whole, Front 242 is about the grand passion and extreme intensities that are dislocated from the hum-drum plateaux of medium-level existence - upon which most of humanity dwells most of the time.
		Front 242 view human existence as a kind of perpetual war: globally (peace as war pursued by other means), socially (capitalism's war of all againt all), even within the microcosm of the individual soul (the war between dries and aspirations).

	Front 242: Pulse - review of Front 242's new album featuring Still & Raw EP
		For the past several years, Front 242 fans have had to make do with live albums as everyone's favorite EBM grandfathers took a little time off.
		This is the straightforward, dark dance all Front 242 fans expect (and that's been aped by newer bands like Apoptygma Berzerk and Covenant.) The tunes are a bit more down-tempo—think "Tragedy for You"—but the familiar mix of heavily-accented vocals and staccato beats still glide over the rich synth backdrop.
		While it's admirable that Front 242 aren't afraid to explore new avenues, it's a shame they didn't find something more interesting while they were traipsing about.

		By the end of the 80's Front 242 released three more albums (Backcatalogue, Official Version, and Front by Front), one more EP (The Politics of Pressure), and two singles ("Headhunter", and "Never Stop!").

		Front 242 Ringtone — High quality ringtones, games, & graphics.
		Front by Front is a good album; it contains some of the best 242 songs: Until Death, Headhunter (which can be considered 242's hymn of all times) It is a pure EBM album, with the typical not-completely-instrumental songs which made F242 famous, 'Im Rhythmus Bleiben', 'Work',...
		Being a fan of industrial/EBM, I hadn't actually gotten to buying a Front album until this, "Front by Front", which is backed with the "Never Stop!" EP and the original "Headhunter" version, found in its single (all on the Epic reissue).

	Front 242: Live Code: Pitchfork Record Review
		The album captures the ultra high- energy of a typical Front 242 performance (complete with their standard fare of hit songs-- "Tragedy (For You)," "Headhunter," and "Welcome to Paradise") and squeezes it into a package so blindingly fluorescent that you'll never have problems finding it in the dark.
		Unfortunately, the recording sounds more like it was tracked using analog equipment from the 1970s, and many of the subtleties of hugely layered Front 242 songs either wind up blaring too loudly or being completely subdued.
		After a 4+ year break from touring, Front 242 shocked many of their older fans this year by touring with a highly modernized version of their live show, having updated many of their songs with breakbeat rhythms and pounding bass.
