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 242s 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 bands 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 rosters high
diversity. Besides solid remakes by other pure EBM heroes like ARMAGEDDON
DILDOS, PLASTIC NOISE EXPERIENCE, ELM, KANT KINO or yet the labels 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 Norways 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 Honk-Kong 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,
