Music reviews of Politics of Pressure
Music Review: the roots of Electronic Body Music: highly recommendable
Rating: 4 Stars
When i listen to the music Front 242 were doing at the time, I always feel I am listening at how a style was being born and making its first steps towards what was to come.However, this was also good in itself and deserves many and many listenings. The album begins with an interesting almost instrumental song, with interesting percussion and sounds, 'Commando'. We can find another version in 'Endless Riddance'. The album gets more pop with 'Lovely Day' and 'No shuffle', this last one with a dirtier sounds than the single version. Both are very good songs, more danceable than the 'Geography' material, better done. 'Deceit' is a decent EBM song, but not awesome. 'Special Forces' is less cathy than 'No shuffle' or 'Lovely day' but with good samples. 'Body to body' is an example of the EBM Front 242 are most known for, even though I think it's simpler and more pop than later songs. 'Nomenklatura' is an instrumental song with a sample repeating all over the two parts it's divided into. It gets very repetitive, and I usually skip it after a couple of minutes. Quite boring. 'See the future' is a live song, I think there's no studio version of this one: anyway, it's quite atmospheric, not very special. 'In November' is catchier but unoriginal, similar to 'Geography' songs. Overall, this album is necessary for those who want to understand the evolution of this type of music which made possible the appearance of such wonderful bands such as Front Line Assembly or 'Nitzer Ebb'. Very recommendable, even though it sounds old, it doesn't sound outdated.
