Product Description

Amazon.ca

An unusual album by Front 242, the band's two singers were not directly involved in its construction. It is, however, first-rate electronic music with remarkably creative programming and flawless production. It features a female singer (Christine Kowalski), another surprise for longtime Front 242 fans. Her voice is wrathful and distorted on "GenEcide" and "Modern Angel," longing and resentful on "Crushed"--a touching song about loss and isolation. Menacing drum sounds and an enigmatic chant propel the portentous "Serial Killers." Intricate percussion patterns and sweeping synthesizers make for some of Daniel Bressanutti and Patrick Codenys' most memorable programming, particularly on "Animal," and the remixes "Junkdrome" and "Skin (Fur Coat)." --Mark McCleerey

2.0 out of 5 stars 06:21:03:11 Off Jan 21 2013

You do the math. Daniel B plus Patrick Codenys minus Richard 23 minus JL De Meyer = False 242. 06:21:03:11 99 Kowalski, one of the most unoriginal stage names ever and possibly the most annoying voice ever heard on an industrial CD. If you like the real 242 stick with 06:21:03:11 Up Evil.

5.0 out of 5 stars Top quality record Jun 22 2004
By Ilya Malafeyev
Format:Audio CD
As far as the influence over the industrial scene is concerned, few bands can rival Front 242. This album shows the band still at its creative peak. It sounds somewhat different to what we came to expect from these guys, first of all, because there's almost no 242's trademark Jean-Luc de Meyer's singing. Instead, the female singer dominates most of the songs here. She sounds very convincing, with menacing distortion in certain tracks, and soothing melodism in others. There's a lot of techno influence on the record, and the pulsing of synth lines is entrancing. Overall feeling of the record is dark and disturbing, with hard driving rhythms, though the variety of the tracks is impressive. My favorite is perhaps "Happiness" where hard techno rhythm is mixed with operatic female singing. What's peculiar about this work, is that certain melodic themes and rhythmical structures are used throughout the record, mixed into the tracks structure here and there, as a sort of industrial conceptual record.

This album was the last in a series of studio greatness from Front 242 that continued on from their debut in 1982. "05:22:09:12 Off" is a must have for any industrial or EBM fan.

3.0 out of 5 stars A somewhat patchy album Jan 18 2004
By Jay M
Format:Audio CD
Always rated better than the same year's 'Up Evil' album, I have to disagree. Though a much more ambitious and less commercial sounding album than 'Up Evil', it's journey's into sound exploration and harsh vocals are too unsettling sometimes.

On this album they seem to be getting more and more into KMFDM territory and other industrial bands, who despite their similarites, have a totally different sound to Front 242.

They just seem to be trying to be a band that they are not on this album. I like some of the sound collages. All sweet, sprinkling synths and then drowned out by huge, whailing barrages of industrial sound, but on the whole this album does not do it for me. It's neither EBM nor Front 242 electronics in the truest sense.
