In 2024, FRONT 242 is unleashing the re-release of some 5 timeless classics on classy
crystal clear vinyl in their original vintage design artwork. It's a true sensational pleasure
for the ears rediscovering these great classic tunes on vinyl format, reminding us how
these releases firmly placed the group as a major driving force of electronic music for
the many years to follow. The first 3 releases "Endless Riddance", "No Comment" and
"Politics of Pressure" will be available in June. Two more Vinyls will come out later this
summer. And like they enjoy shouting it out loud... "always ahead!".
Catch the men live during their final tour across the year 2024.
"No Comment" and "Politics of Pressure" were originally released in 1984 and 1985, at a
moment when FRONT 242 reached its full force line-up made of Daniel B., Patrick Codenys,
Jean-Luc De Meyer and Richard "23" Jonckheere; and really started attracting a true cult-
following.
They had become the solid leaders of the newly born "electronic body music" movement
in reference to their high-tech and hard edged electronic punk dance music. They were
also shaping their cult image today as a high energetic powerful live-act dressed in military
outfits ready to conquer the world and become one of the most popular underground bands
for the many years to follow...
"No Comment" was originally released as 6-tracks Vinyl only - but in two versions: Regular
Vinyl and limited Double-12" (on 45rpm) in a Gatefold sleeve. A first CD version came out
on Red Rhino the year after.
Tracks:
A1 Commando Mix A2 S.Fr. Nomenklatura (1&2) A3 Deceit (Behind Your Face)
B1 Lovely Day B2 No Shuffle B3 Special Forces
