With “recovery >for you<”, the Alfa Matrix label is closing this
double-celebration year 2016 in beauty. For its 15th anniversary, the
Belgian record label also celebrated in many ways the 35 years of
existence of FRONT 242.
Pioneers… Artists who reached such an elite level. FRONT 242 have always
had a vision of the future. For the last 35 years, they have showed us
what could be possible with gear, human imagination, creativity, working
to bend instruments far away from of their intended purpose. Since day
one, FRONT 242 have always been employing the use of the most current
technology available to keep their music fresh, groundbreaking and up to
date, non-stop pushing their sound to its logical extreme. Their unique
signature sound turned the group into a major driving force of
electronic music for the many years to follow. What would electronic
industrial music be without FRONT 242? Is it fair to say that many
modern electro bands have a little FRONT 242 DNA? Are we all
descendants?
With the most upmost respect, the Alfa Matrix label family decided to
close this birthday year in beauty by paying homage to this living
legend. 32 label bands each covering one song from FRONT 242’s
impressive music repertoire, an influential work of pioneering
electronic mastery on which creativity has steadily and genuinely been
abound. Picking songs from the full discography of the band, from
“Geography” to “Pulse”, we can only attest how ear-challenging the
band’s work has always been, constantly offering to us an inspiring look
to the future of electronic music.
“recovery >for you<” is an exclusive tribute collection of 32
songs reflecting the Alfa Matrix band roster’s high diversity. Besides
solid remakes by other pure EBM heroes like ARMAGEDDON DILDOS, PLASTIC
NOISE EXPERIENCE, ELM, KANT KINO or yet the label’s new signing AD:KEY,
we also see the harsher dark elektro clan attacking the F242 repertoire
with figures like ALIEN VAMPIRES, CIRCUITO CERRADO vs. C-LEKKTOR, VENAL
FLESH, ACYLUM, AVARICE IN AUDIO and TOTEM OBSCURA. Other female fronted
acts like HELALYN FLOWERS and SIN.SIN both bring more tortured electric
moments just like Norway’s ESSENCE OF MIND. From the minimal
percolating bleeps of electronic acts like METROLAND, NÖVÖ or yet
ELEKTROKLÄNGE to the more upbeat industrial techno dance tunes of KOMOR
KOMMANDO, AYRIA, IMPLANT, NEIKKA RPM, XMH, AESTHETISCHE or yet the dance
pop of Singapore duo COSMIC ARMCHAIR. Besides lush noir synth pop
reworks by TECHNOIR, DIFFUZION, REGENERATOR and IMJUDAS (the impressive
new project of Maxx from HELALYN FLOWERS), and icy modern elektro covers
by THE PSYCHIC FORCE and other LLUMEN, while SAR INDUSTRY and
SCHWARZBLUT add a more gothic oriented touch to the compilation.
Simply join the rhythm and enjoy these cover versions giving an all new
sonic and emotional dimension to these FRONT 242 classic tunes including
amongst others “Headhunter”, “Happiness”, “Lovely Day”, “U-men”,
“Commando Mix”, “Masterhit”, “No Shuffle”, “Tragedy for You”, “Take
One”, “Funkhadafi”, “Moldavia”, “Operating Tracks”, “Don’t Crash”, “Body
To Body”, “Welcome To Paradise”, and many more! Listen carefully…
