Synopsis

Album Description

The use of computers has drastically transformed music production in the past 20 years; creation in this way is now totally integrated thanks to user friendly technology. Front242 comes from a different time, when working with electronic music was difficult, the machines were hostile and humans needed to interact strongly with synthesizers to master their art - Music required discipline. Front242 decided to re-load their old analogue sequences into this new generation of synthesizers and carefully re-designed all the sounds to match the spirit of their time. The result was proposed on a worldwide Vintage World Tour. To satisfy their fans, but also the curiosity of numbers of listeners interested in the early electronic music atmosphere ; we invite you to discover this exceptional Live recording encompassing the very best of Front242s compositions.

Classics done again live

(4 out of 5 stars)

"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?"
