In 2016, Belgian electronic music pioneers FRONT 242 celebrate the
band’s 35th anniversary year of existence. Besides some highly praised
242 collector items released over the last few months, we had also
promised some more very special “anniversary” surprises… Well, here we
are!
Before joining FRONT 242 in 1981 and devoting several decades to this
band, Brussels-based artists Patrick Codenys and Jean-Luc De Meyer used
to be working together as a duo since 1978 under the UNDERVIEWER
moniker, using a bass, synthesizers, rhythm boxes and a tape recorder…
Back then, although machines had their technical limitations and were
imposing heavy constraints, the duo were definitely enjoying total
freedom of tone and inspiration. From destructured experimental tracks
to more melodic and structured songs, UNDERVIEWER always focused their
creative approach on minimalistic arrangements way more influenced by
German bands like LA DÜSSELDORF, DAF, etc. rather than by English
groups.
Dormant for over 30 years, UNDERVIEWER recently recovered a dozen of
tracks from their early 4-track tape recordings or even recreated some
of them by meticulously reusing the same vintage machines, only slightly
adapting them where needed. These songs have now been gathered together
to astonishingly form the debut album of a band that has been existing
for over 38 years!
“Wonders & Monsters” brilliantly renders the force and the timeless
and melodic duality of a music which fits everywhere and any time, and
never had the pretention to belong to any form of avant-garde…14 songs
hanging between fire and ice, carried by the distinctive and matchless
voice of Jean-Luc De Meyer, and fuelled by Patrick Codenys’ sharp and
modern production style. UNDERVIEWER’s songs have that particular
poisonous charm and poppy catchiness that make them instantly addictive
and accessible…
