Front 242_ ANIMAL (Full Length-HQ)

lyrics: It’s always the same I’m the only one who’s always left to blame Take what you can take Hurt is your only idea of a game To break away I don’t have that within me And I’m not your prey So I bite the hand that feeds me When all you do is break me And put me You put me in a cage When I look in the mirror All that I see A zoo animal that wants to be free Just get away, get away from me ’Cause I’ll never be who you want me to be No It’s always the same It’s not easy to keep myself contained Sit back and relax How can I when I’m going down in flames? ’Cause all you do is break me And put me You put me in a cage Get away get away get away get away All you do is break me And put me You put me in a cage When I look in the mirror I just want to be free Want to be free I just want to be free From their album “Angels Vs Animals“ Extract from Wikipedia: Front 242 is a pioneering Belgian electronic music group that came into prominence during the 1980s. During their most active period (effectively ending in 1993 with the albums 06:21:03:11 Up Evil and 05:22:09:12 Off) they influenced many electro-industrial and electronic artists. When industrial music developed in England in the mid-1970s with Cabaret Voltaire and Throbbing Gristle, these groups used electronic instruments, percussion with found objects, and looped samples of “found“ soundbites, elements later taken up by Front 242. These techniques can be seen as an extension of the use of electronic sources of sound as musical instruments and percussion with found objects by composer Edgard Varèse. Front 242 was created in 1981 in Aarschot, near Brussels, Belgium, by Daniel Bressanutti and Dirk Bergen, who wanted to create music and graphic design using emerging electronic tools. The first single, “Principles“, was released in 1981. The front part of the name comes from the idea of an organized popular uprising. Patrick Codenys and Jean-Luc De Meyer had separately formed a group called Under Viewer at about the same time, and the two duos joined together in 1982. Bressanutti, Codenys and De Meyer took turns on vocals at first, until they settled on De Meyer as the lead vocalist (early recordings with Bressanutti on vocals have recently been released). De Meyer came to write most of the lyrics and Valerie Jane Steele also wrote several tracks including “Don’t Crash“. They decided not to use the regular waveform settings on their synthesizers, arguing that creating the waveform for each note was part of the creative process. Their next single, “U-Men“, was released in 1982, followed by the band’s first album Geography that same year. These first releases were cited as influential to other artists in the genre; however, they were not strong and hard-hitting as the group’s later efforts. In 1983, Dirk Bergen left the band to pursue graphic design, and Richard Jonckheere, referred to as Richard 23, joined as vocalist Discography: * Geography (1982) * No Comment (1984) * Back Catalogue (1987) * Official Version (1987) * Front by Front (1988) * Tyranny (For You) (1991) * Live Target (1992) * 06:21:03:11 Up Evil (1993) * 05:22:09:12 Off (1993) * Angels Versus Animals (1993) * Live Code (1994) * Mut@@ge (1995) * Re-Boot: Live ’98 (1998) * Pulse (2003) * Moments ...
