This review is from: Moments... (Audio CD)

Moments is a great disc for old fans of Front 242 and not a bad starting point for anyone interested. Front 242 began making aggresive electronic music before MIDI. Their instruments were unreliable as was the technology was then and synchronization was a real pain. So, the band had to have real skill to create a body of industrial dance music (IDM), or electronic body music (EBM), classics. Nowadays, more powerful hardware, software, and computer processing power makes electronic music so much easier, studio polished tracks can be produced in a bedroom and touring doesn't have to rival a military logistics convoy.

Front 242 makes a point of this with this live release. The interesting thing is the absence of vocal sound bites that appeared once upon time; now replaced with actual vocals (see Welcome To Paradise).

The big question is: when do we get a proper new release?
