waiting for my copy to arrive…

the Adolf Filter track is the absolute highlight!

What about the rest?

Just heard the sample; looks like they have listened very well to Front 242 of somewhat 20 years ago.  Nevertheless, a very good song.

of course but Geography is THE album for me… and not just for the Front 242 work but for electronic music in general…

about the rest… I like some more songs very much like Wave Tank and Gary Flanagan and more… enough sounds to enjoy a nice evening at home or on the dancefloor…

Geography is a brilliant album indeed, but it is actually a compilation of tracks by Prothese, Underviewer and Front.
The limited 2CD rerelease by the otherwise horrid Alfa Matrix label is also a must have, even if it is on CD.  :oops: 

But back on topic. This seems to be a very nice compilation.

Mmm, I wouldn’t compare it with the Geography period but rather with the period between ‘83 and ‘85, but a little bit less bombastic than Front.

For me the highlight definitely is KLAX, wonderful analogue sounds and you can hear he loves tapping the keys! Gets my vote in the poll!

Btw, speaking of F242, I think “Count Zero” sounds pretty much like “No Comment”-era, no ? ....
