Front 242 had an enormous impact on my life. It came with the album "05:22:09:12 Off". Previously I had heard several cool tracks, but when listening to the the above mentioned, I almost fell to the floor. The dark and desperate atmosphere of the album, featuring the excellent vocals by 99 Kowalski, is truly mindblowing and second to none.

Later that year I bought "06:21:03:11 Up Evil", and the following "Angels Versus Animals". Both albums are top notch (just listen to "Born To Breathe" and "Der Verfluchte Engel" on "Angels Versus Animals", woooow!).
These albums, especially "05:22:09:12 Off" will always be on the very top of my list.

Regarding their latest album, "Pulse", it's a very welcome return for Front 242. This is a great album, and tracks like "One (With The Fire)" and "Together" are simply awesome.

I can not for the life of me understand the criticism by some people of Front 242's 1993 albums. Yes, Front 242 was a breakthrough act, and yes, they have superb tracks from their early days, but the '93 albums are unmatched; they marked a new sound for the band, and all great bands develop. The albums from '93 were the band at its very best, I feel these albums captured all that Front 242 had ever stood for.
How can one not like this music? It's beyond me...

Some of the artists that have sampled the acapella are: Robotnico: 'Backtired' ('eternity's passed'), The Ultimate Seduction: 'The Ultimate Seduction' ('the ultimate seduction'), Speedy J: 'Something For Your Mind' ('something for your mind').

By many considered maybe trance-music's finest moment. I tend to agree, this is a true classic.

The female singer is 99Kowalsky, who is also featured on their "Angels versus Animals"-release.
