Originally released in 1984, No Comment captures FRONT 242 at a turning point—just as their classic lineup of Daniel B., Patrick Codenys, Jean-Luc De Meyer, and Richard “23” Jonckheere fully came into form. These tracks represent the moment when FRONT 242 emerged not just as pioneers of the Belgian electronic scene, but as leaders of a new genre altogether: Electronic Body Music.
With its high-tech, hard-edged dance energy and militaristic stage presence, the band cemented a cult following and began shaping their legacy as one of the most vital underground acts of the ‘80s. No Comment, paired with the Politics of Pressure EP from 1985, stands as one of their most important works—both musically and visually, pushing electronic music into a darker, more physical space.
This 2024 clear vinyl reissue brings No Comment back into circulation at a fair price, avoiding the inflated resale values often seen online. It’s part of a larger FRONT 242 reissue campaign from Alfa Matrix, celebrating five essential albums on crystal clear vinyl with their original artwork restored. A limited edition 3xLP bundle (including Endless Riddance and Politics of Pressure) comes with an exclusive FRONT 242 tote bag, limited to 500 copies worldwide and available only through Alfa Matrix and Deejaydead.de.
Re-experience one of the foundational releases of EBM—restored, reissued, and still lightyears ahead.
