Front 242 – Politics Of Pressure EP (clear transparent vinyl)

Description

The importance of this re-release is to make these releases available again on vinyl format at correct price instead of crazy pricing sometimes found on other platforms.

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.

“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…

The first 3 releases “Endless Riddance”, “No Comment” and “Politics Of Pressure” will be available in a combo 3-vinyl package offered with an exclusive FRONT 242 tote bag limited to 500 units worldwide and strictly available through the official Alfa Matrix store and their official German e-shop www.deejaydead.de

The two other vinyl releases 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.
