“Two In One” compiles FRONT 242’s two very first 2-track singles, originally released in 1981 and 1982. It also features founding members Dirk Bergen next to Daniel B. and which announced the band’s classic debut album “Geography”. Two classic singles in electronic music history which became such influential releases on the development of industrial / EBM music throughout the 80’s and far beyond and which constitute the layers on which FRONT 242 was constructed.

And like they enjoy shouting it out loud… “always ahead!”. Catch the men live during their final tour across the year 2024.

FRONT 242 – Geography LP (clear transparent vinyl)

In 2024, FRONT 242 is unleashing the re-release of some 5 timeless classics on classy crystal clear vinyl in their original vintage design artwork. It’s a true sensational pleasure for the ears rediscovering these great classic tunes on vinyl format, reminding us how these releases firmly placed the group as a major driving force of electronic music for the many years to follow.

Just like for the previous batch, the two last releases “Two In One” and “Geography” will be available in a combo 2-vinyl package offered with a second and different exclusive FRONT 242 tote bag limited to 500 units worldwide and strictly available through the official Alfa Matrix store and their official German e-shop www.deejaydead.de.
