That is one of my all-time favourites. Used to have the 12". Goodbye Tonsils too.

I remember getting excited when Max Headroom was on because stuff like this actually used to get a tiny bit of exposure.

It's an absolute corker and I never tire of hearing it. They really remind me of Throbbing Gristle in some ways, in that this tune is like their Hot On The Heels Of Love - a sublime and beautiful track that belies their other more avant garde and 'out there' output.

It's serendipitous as just the other month I started up a new blog/podcast where I create mixtapes of 80s underground music and there's a fair share of EBM, Synthpop, Industrial, Goth, etc. on there.

I'm up to my 6th mixtape now and am going to compile side B this weekend.

Would be great if some of you give 'em a listen

I think Wes has enjoyed some of them.

I'm a big fan of compiling mixtapes, and usually make a couple a month to listen to in the car on the way to and from work.

I'll definitely give your mix a listen, and may upload some of mine. I also sometimes make playlists on Youtube to listen to whilst I'm on the PC, and don't want to spend a lot of time messing around creating playlists on iTunes. Here's a fairly recent one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClOJL6ljvVA&list=PL247AF82EAAF209D9&index= 1&feature=plpp_video

Also, I'm actually surprised at how well this thread has been received so far: I anticipated a quick but painful death.

Awesome. Didn't realise you could do playlists via You Tube - uh oh there goes more hours of the day that I don't have to spare

Me too, actually.

I mainly posted the one before at it was the first one to come up on a Youtube search!

An infamous favourite:

Actually they were somewhat going back to their roots with that album...

[the blob]

I felt I just had to post this seeing as it's an eternal track.. and it's British!

[bdc]

Vid won't play here Blob...I also get that from time to time...have to replace them...

I was wondering,does anyone know this one as it was their only "club hit".

Yeah, No Comment. It's a pretty good album, and like you say a more back-to-their routes approach.

The over-used sample is from Apocalypse Now, for anyone who finds it familiar.

My favourite Front 242 albums remain 06:21:03:11 Up Evil and 05:22:09:12 Off, but I've pretty much enjoyed all their albums - Pulse even gets plenty of listens in my household (much to my neighbours' disappointment)!
