hey i know you asked the roman, but i simpyl have to speak.

up evil is a rad album, but its a wholly diferent sound, having been
made in '94 or something. theres much more ambience to the album, its
very lush, almost brittle in certain way, considering some of the
synth samples. also synths were starting analog modeling.
i dont know if i would consider it industrial, only that industrial
was more of a way of mind, like listening to White House or even
Laibach. at the same time, Up Evil isnt 'industrial' like listening to
the first Frontline Assembly. of course, that doesnt take anything
away from it.
tyranny for >you< was an altime favourite for me, because the
programming and songwriting are so f**king excellent. its very
"tight", this was the album you could most hear the nature of akai
samplers. i have several copies of it, plus the remixes that are
pretty baddass. this album has never gone old. its beyond time.
Front By Front is just rad, with the samples in this case being more
robust. they used emulator II's around this time.
all the albums are great, even the ones i didnt mention.
the time that tyranny for >you< came out, was the peak in excellence
in the electronic music scene. check out Skinny Puppy's Too Dark
Park, Die Form's Viscious Circles, anything by Coil.

No, I never got into Front 242 tho' I remember liking some of the stuff I
heard by them and Fini Tribe on college radio back in the day (early 90's).
I liked Skinny Puppy a bit more and owned a bunch of their cassettes.

thanks for the insight on Front 242. i have never done the EBM thing before,
but i've listened to several other electronica sub-genres.

i got into industrial in 1992 with Front Line Assembly, Ministry, and KMFDM as
well as quasi-industrial like Nine Inch Nails. but my friends never had Front
242, so i never explored that (an unknown factor). and i could have borrowed
some Skinny Puppy CDs, but never did. i still need to explore several
industrial bands.

lots of stuff to listen to before i die. i hear the new industrial is much
different than the old stuff.
