man, i have been playing front by front now for over twenty years- guess i can finally put that cd down (for a minute) and expand my 242 exposure a little- never heard this before- thanks-
yeah,yeah, it's an opportunity for re-discovery here- as it was quite impossible to experience the WHOLE damn shabang while it was going down... a few thumbs up sheds some light on the perspective though... similar happenings, perhaps...peace
This is possibly my favorite Front 242 track ever. Followed by the stuff on geography. I can spin this today alongside modern IDM like Aphex Twin or Boards of Canada and people always want to know what it is.
Most of the atmospherics are courtesy (not of the Emulators) but of Patrick Codenys' PPG Wave 2.2. The choir, the sparkling wavescanning and the rhythmically shifting chords are all very identifiable and hallmarks of that instrument.
great! thank you!

I love this kind of "Two minute warning" synth sounds :-) Any more bands played like these?
