Electronic Pioneers FRONT LINE ASSEMBLY Team With CLEOPATRA RECORDS For A 6CD Box Set Of Their Earliest Recordings!
Rediscover the origins of dark electronic and industrial music with this epic collector’s edition box set of the earliest recordings by trailblazers, Front Line Assembly! Founded in 1986 by Bill Leeb shortly after leaving another groundbreaking band, the cult act Skinny Puppy, FLA would dive even deeper into the sonic potential of keyboards, processors and programs creating music that eschewed standard song structures in favor of largely vocal-less vibes and hypnotic loops. These early recordings laid the foundation for what became known as Electronic Body Music (or EBM) as well as the second wave of industrial music. Front Line Assembly’s influence has ranged from industrial-metal icons Fear Factory to much of the modern EDM heard in clubs today.
Now fans and collectors alike will find much to discover in a brand new box set entitled Permanent Data 1986-1989. Set for official release on August 19, this incredible collection comes with 6 individual CD wallets as well as a full-color 12-page booklet of liner notes written by music journalist Dave Thompson based on an exclusive and recent interview with Leeb. Every track has been digitally remastered by another industrial music legend, Jürgen Engler of German band Die Krupps, including the rare bonus tracks. To top it all off, the set is capped with the long-awaited CD debut of the rare 1989 live album that no self-respecting FLA fan should be without!
