_Mix@ge.Mut@ge_ was recently released in the US, after having been out
in Europe for almost two years. It's on a small indie. I think it's a
great CD if you don't have most of the tracks already (most were on
singles), and it even has some otherwise-unreleased Underworld mixes on
it. To me it's worth it for the first CD appearance of The Orb's
Messengers From Neptune remix of "Rhythm Of Time," which is just
astonishing.
They have a recently-minted web site (
http://www.front242.com), but it's
a little under-informationed. Nothing about any new forthcoming
material. They had a great run, though. I have an almost-complete
discography of theirs and nearly everything that's available on CD, and
I saw them twice in concert (the first, on the _Tryanny_ tour, was
jaw-dropping fantastic). I miss 'em, but every band runs out
eventually. I'd love to hear their live "remakes" of their old tunes.
Maybe they'll get released, like Kraftwerk's _The_Mix_ (which, to me, is
still the standard-bearer of remix albums).
