For the celebration of their 35th anniversary year of existence in 2016, Belgian electronic music pioneers FRONT 242 decided to re-release several of their albums together with Alfa Matrix, their partner in crime over the last 15 years now… These remastered versions showcase FRONT 242’s innovative and unmatched sound in the best audio quality made possible by today's audio technology.
For the occasion of the re-release of the “Pulse + Still & Raw” album, FRONT 242 also decided to release a deluxe collector box edition of “ Pulse” (a judicious track-list selected by Daniel B. as a kind of DJ set…). The vinyl-sized carton box features a military camouflage design with a spotted varnish printed FRONT 242 logo and a die-cut “2” across the upper cover (once assembled with the two other limited collector box sets released for the anniversary series, you get the “2-4-2” cut across the 3 box sets).
The “ Pulse” anniversary collector box is strictly limited to 1242 copies and includes the following items:
1 x FRONT 242 “ Pulse” - Gatefold LP (black vinyl - 180 gr)1 x FRONT 242 “ Pulse” - Carton Sleeve CD (same track list as the vinyl LP)1 x FRONT 242 « live 2 » (carton sleeve CD) ancienne belgique 89 . front by front (a professionally mixed exclusive15-track live recording from the band’s concert at the legendary Ancienne Belgique in Brussels – Belgium in 1989)1 x FRONT 242 lanyard (white & red printed on black)1 x laminated « Pulse » live pass2 x FRONT 242 posters (315mm x 220mm)1 x V/A - Sounds From The Matrix 17 (carton sleeve CD) (An exclusive Alfa Matrix label compilation featuring 20 label mates of FRONT 242)“Pulse” was originally released in 2003 and is to date the last official studio album of FRONT 242. It gets marketed again this time as a double-CD with the “Still & Raw” Mini-Album as second disc.
