The early work of Belgian techno outfit Front 242 was frequently overshadowed by the band's reliance on such influences as Cabaret Voltaire and Kraftwerk. With FRONT BY FRONT, the band's Front 242 album, the band finally came into its own. Using rapid-fire beats, blasts of synthesized vitriol, and samples of everything from children playing to fighter pilot back-chatter, Front 242 makes brutal, politically aggressive dance music.
The album's standouts are "Circling Overland," "Im Rhythmus Bleiben," and the underground hit "Headhunter." The lyric of the first, apparently describing a nighttime military air strike, accompanies a synthetic martial beat and features such niceties as "we don't negotiate." "Im Rhythmus Bleiben" adds gruesome wails and cranks up the BPM significantly. "Headhunter," built around a repeated beat and a synthesized organ sound, abandons all pretenses of pleasantry. The lyrics are overtly threatening, describing hunting humans for profit. Even hard-beat techno is seldom this unforgiving. The CD reissue appends 7 tracks, including remixes that are even more punishing than the originals.
Booklet provides Beats Per Minute (BPM) for each track.Alternative Press (7/95, pp.114-115) - "...An album which put the finishing touches on the design. Rich rhythms, often created by voice manipulations; hard-edged sequencers, offset by angry electronic drums; Front 242 seemed the ultimate in vicious dance..."

Front By Front album
$9.29 Though it yielded only one minor hit single in the band's native England, HEAVEN UP HERE is considered by many to be the ultimate Echo and the Bunnymen album. The album is drenched in an aura of mystery that is fueled by the swirling, epic sound of guitarist Will Sergeant and drummer Pete De Freitas. The music is so powerful that singer Ian McCulloch's vague, almost nonsensical lyrics take on a profundity.
While tracks like "The Disease," a desolate two-chord sound-poem based on a solitary rhythm guitar and a haunting recorder passage, do feature some incisive lyrics, most ...

$19.75 While most remembered as the steel guitarist in Bob Wills's Texas Playboys, Leon McAuliffe recorded a classic spate of western swing sides for Columbia records from 1949 to 1955. Bear Family compiles 31 of these tracks for TULSA STRAIGHT AHEAD--a single disc must-own for fans of western swing, hillbilly boogie, and even early rock & roll. Featuring several previously unreleased gems--"Panhandle Rag" and Hard-Hearted Girl" are among the set's many highlights--TULSA STRAIGHT AHEAD captures an undersung genius at the peak of his ...
