Front 242 is on the rise again. Then again, the raw, one-of-a-kind act that gave rise to the likes of Revolting Cocks, Pigface and several hundred others have been spreading the disease for nearly 3 decades (specifically since 1981, if you can believe it–anyone else feel old??) — and many would argue they never went away. On Red Bull Music Academy, Patrick and Daniel break out and shuffle through their catalog of favorite tunes, both past and present. More importantly, get a listen of one of industrial music’s innovators, and hear them discuss some of the more technological aspects of software, hardware, and programming throughout the history of the genre. It’s not a geeks-only thing so much as a way to appreciate a somewhat maligned corner of the electronica genre.
Stare into the eyes of doom
