#2667 Front 242 - Front by Front

So I'm listening to this while I play Diablo 3, and they make a good pair: both've got the affectation of menace and darkness while still being perfectly pleasant, with enough buzz and momentum that you hang in there even when it's boring.

Front 242's brand of industrial noise is borderline dancable: just enough edge to get your adrenaline piqued, without falling into unlistenability. It's hasn't aged especially well, sounding pretty tame by modern standards, but an interesting data point on the meet-cute between guitar noise and machine blippery 3/5
