In this age of digital and computer-dominated electronic music, Front 242 come from a different era. When the band began making electronic music in the 1980s, synthesizers were complicated and making electronic music required discipline.

After years of digital “über alles”, analogue synthesizers and technology have made a comeback. Aware of a time when research and sound design were important, new brands have emerged and some older synthesizer brands have refined the analogue technology on contemporary synthesizers, with modern components and a sophisticated sound.

Front 242 decided to re-load their old analogue sequences into this new generation of synthesizers. They carefully re-designed all the sounds to match the spirit of their time. The results can be seen during their worldwide “Vintage Tour”, which now comes to Prague.

Front 242 performs Sunday, December 7 at 8pm at Lucerna Music Bar.
