“Animal” (all the versions) have got to be some of my favorites along with the original versions of “Melt” and “Religion”…out of the two new albums.

Actually, I’ve never quite sat down and puzzled out which track is which song, especially on the newer album. No numbers on the sleeve, 14 listed titles on the inside, and another (apparent) three titles on the back of the sleeve. My guess is that Animal is split into three parts…end up with 16 tracks, which works out right with the disc. Odd, though…just what are the bits on the back of the sleeve then?

Also, picked up a single for Religion…good remixes, including a really fast techno version remixed by the Prodigy…two mixes of Crapage by the Orb, and having the Orb remixing 242 is just bizarre…and one fun mix of Religion with lots of samples from Deep Throat. True oddities…but good stuffs.

All I know is that the local Mucusland (Musicland) moved the date in their little book for his new album from October/November to January. Ergh…starting to get torqued at this!

Am on a quest of sorts…

According to a DJ at the local college radio station (88.1 KRUA, if you’re ever up in Anchorage AK), there was a sampler put out by Hollywood records a while back with a remix (not remake) of Queen’s Stone Cold Crazy, remixed by Trent Reznor. I’ve heard it on the station twice, but never been able to find it…

Would anyone have an idea as to the name of the sampler, whether it’s still available, or where I might be able to get ahold of it? Local record stores have been next to no help…

Any help is greately appreciated…

Would someone kindly mail me some objective recommendations for getting Front 242 music?

Personally, I don’t have a whole lot, but…Front by Front is good, best track (imho) being #10, Welcome to Paradise (“Hey poor! You don’t have to be poor anymore! Jesus is here!’) Good sampling…I’ve got both of the new albums…probably like the newest one (05:22:09:12 Off) better. A bit more accessible to me…a wierd blend of old 242, recent Ministry, and Einsturzende Neubauten. <grin>

re: Machines of Loving Grace

I found out about them a while ago from a friend…have everything I can find.

album === Machines of Loving Grace
single == Burn Like Brilliant Trash (now out of print, Reznor produced)
single == Rite of Shiva
album === Concentration

Good stuff (imho). New album, while not produced by Reznor, definitely has some of his touch to it…probably picked up some hints while working on the remixes of BLBT(AJF). Nifty…I like it. <grin>
