Enjoy the trailer for the brand new EP by LEDERMAN, DE MEYER, the newest project by Jean-Marc Lederman (THE WEATHERMEN, KID MONTANA, FAD GADGET, et. and Jean-Luc De Meyer (FRONT 242, UNDERVIEWER, 32CRASH, et. 479. 78. Official Trailer debut album LEDERMAN, DE MEYER - out now. 132. 3.

Daniel B and Codenys together whip out a series of chilling but always just danceable enough full body slams, showing an increased depth and sophistication in the overall arrangements, while 23 and de Meyer deliver their shouted and emotionless vocals with the force of full command. At points on Official Version one can still hear the hints of the band's calmer start - both "Television Station" and "Rerun Time" have instrumental breaks that Depeche Mode wouldn't have found out of place in 1984 - but otherwise all is brusque yet chilly energy. The random metal guitar samples in said tune aren't quite up to the level of the Young Gods, but they're cool regardless.

Band Name Front 242. Album Name Official Version. Released date 01 March 1987. Labels Red Rhino Records Wax Trax Records Animalized.

Notes

Thanks to Hills Music and friends.

First runs of this album came in an extra thick black plastic outer cover with 'FRONT 242' stenciled on front.

On some copies, "Les Editions Confidentielles" is printed on stickers (both side) of the vinyl under "J.L. DE MEYER - RICHARD 23"

The track listing actually written on the back cover and the inner sleeve (on the video artwork) is a bit different from the one that appears on the record label (and later on the CD's tracklists), with a specific use of upper and lower cases:
A1. W.Y.H.I.W.Y.G. extended
A2. RERUN time
A3. « news » TELEvision STATION
A4. AGREssIVA DUE
B1. MASTERHIT megapart one & two
B2. SLAUGHTER
B3. QUITE UNUSUAL
B4. RED TEAM drumbox theme
B5. agreSSiva angst

Trivia: The sample at the beginning of "Masterhit" saying "You know me and I sure know you, everyone" is taken from 1983 movie "Videodrome" written & directed by David Cronenberg.
