Comments:

Could easily be accused of being a Front 242 clone. Sounds a lot like Front 242 around 86-89, like they've cloned a few tracks into an entire album. But, as with any copy, you'll lose some quality in the actual copying procedure, here most notably on the vocal and lyrical side. I must admit though that the guy shouting repeated words behind the sung vocals really sounds like Richard 23, he could have me fooled quite easily if not for the cheesier lyrics. I suspect some sounds, specifically beats, are even sampled off Front 242.

Somehow I get the feeling this was a small local cover-type band who started copying Front 242 because they loved the style, and got a lot of attention from people who wanted the real thing but would settle for a copy since the Front-men themselves had changed style. This is pure speculation, though.

Ending the CD are a few unlisted live tracks which, even though they're in quite poor sound quality, give you a hint of what this band is like live.
