THIS is why the internet and mostly RUclips are so awesome! I bought Front 242's "Back Catalogue" CD way back in 1989/1990. I paid $21.99 for the CD. (inflation adjusted probably $35 today) I wore that CD out and loved this song. I still have the CD in fact. So cool to see a video for it! Thanks for uploading.
I heard "Body TO Body" on "This is EBM" first, there was also my 1st Skinny Puppy or first EBM at all, after someone told me this was basically a darker version of Depeche, so I was intrigued (was DM fan)
Hi, I have been a loyal fan of theirs for more years than I’d like to remember!!(I don’t want to show my age haha)! Yes, they are pretty special & incredible! (I am a mainstream music hater)!😀
I had not seen this in years !! There was a dark club called 600 North in Daytona beach in the early to late 80's , I remember moshing to this ,those were the finest times of my life ! This, watching it again brought a tear of satisfaction ,to know that this is still getting likes and that they are the fathers of EBM !!
They are not the fathers of EBM. Maybe they made the term popular. But it all started with DAF and Liaisons Dangereuses. Body to Body was already inspired by the music of DAF. It has a DAF bassline and some German Krautrock elements.
@Matt Gray Only idiots don't know DAF. And the first wave of Industrial music started in the mid-'70s. Most of the music from the '80s had nothing to do with it. Do you think Ministry was Industrial? Or KMFDM? Then you must even more stupid than i thought. Bands like Ministry and Skinny Puppy started as SynthPop groups and added some noisy elements. That's it.
I remember when I was a teenager living in southern Maryland and ordering Front 242, The Neon Judgement, and The Legendary Pink Dots via the Wax Trax! Records catalogue. I'm 51 now and God I miss those days/times.

Still love this song and the video. A young 242, great haunting lyrics, gritty analogue electronic music/ synth pop/ EBM which was still a new exciting land, sampled voices (!), bad haircuts, a mock fight at the end - fun and it captured a moment in time.
Saw them at the Warfield in San Francisco with my best buddy Jeremy in 91 or around there. Was so damn cool! These guys are my guys for sure. Always 242!!!
I mean, that's kind of a stretch. The Beatles actually evolved from album to album. Front 242 just kind of remixed their way through songs. Most of which just recycled beats and synths.

30 years ago, Belgium act FRONT 242 coined the term “EBM - Electronic Body Music - to describe the musical of their second album “No Comment” (Another Side/1984), inspired by a variety of artists such as Suicide, Throbbing Gristle, Cabaret Voltaire, Kraftwerk, Wire or Joy Division. In a similar fashion to the germano-hispanic combo Liaisons Dangereuses or D.A.F., the band distilled a blend of disjointed electronic bass lines, steep minimalist rhythms and mechanical vocals chanted with a martial attitude, perfectly succeeding at the time to encompass and blend icy cold wave with disco groove on an industrial background. The original EBM (which, when I was a teenager, was called “Techno Music”) raged all over the 80’s indie clubs. Chrislo Haas's productions made the genre evolve towards more hard and rhythmic sounds. But it started to lose its appeal with the arrival of the more commercial sounding New Beat (1988) and the more aggressive “Aggrepo” (1990). Although, around 1987, English duo “Nitzer Ebb” carried the torch with panache, signing its album “That Total Age” on Mute Record and, just like Front 242 had done before them, landing a spot as opening act for a Depeche Mode tour. At the same time when electronic music reached the masses in the mid 90’s rave parties, the domination of machines in FRONT 242 music started to wane with the introduction of guitars and drum kits as early as 1993. Disappointed, the bulk of their fans felt betrayed by those changes and the arrival of US crossover bands from Chicago and Wax Trax label (Ministry, Revolting Cocks, NIN) or Vancouver/Canada (Skinny Puppy, Front Line Assembly). Totally hackneyed since the end of the 90’s following the appropriation of the EBM name by unscrupulous German record labels which flooded the market with increasingly mediocre bands producing cliché dark-techno-trance soup (VNV Nation, Suicide Commando, Combichrist...), the genre was eventually totally discredited in the eyes of purists. Like me, many of them turned to french producers such as Thomas P. Heckmann, The Hacker, Terence Fixmer, David Carretta, Millimetric, Gesaffelstein, Maelstrom, all emerging from the Techno scene and who remained faithful to the European roots of electronic music in general and EBM in particular. Now totally ruined by thousands of retarded bands eructing stupid onomatopoeia over bass lines heard thousands of times, the EBM genre has wilted over the first decade of the century, losing both its futurist and visionary aspects to turn into some low-end electro-punk for beer drinkers in Doc Martens. At the dawn of yet another revival from deep USA (Youth Code, High Functioning Flesh, //Tense//) let’s render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's: EBM is essentially Front 242, DAF, early Neon Judgement, Absolute Body Control and Nitzer Ebb! All the others bands are just pale imitations or pure plagiarism of their aforementioned elders. Pedro (Unknown Pleasures Records) hivmusic1.bandcamp.com
Unknown Pleasures Records don't put Suicide Commando in your shit list with VNV Nation and Combichrist. And Frontline Assembly has been whack since the 90s? Now that's a fucking riot.
VNV Nation is basically British, just living in Germany. Most good German EBM evolved into NDH. Agreed, a lot went to pot at the end of the 90's, but there was still good NDH if you looked hard enough. Everyone kind of disbanded. Personally, to kds242, I think FLA has sucked since the 90's, yes.

Together with Kraftwerk, one of THE most influential electronic bands ever. They gave new wave a second chance and paved the way for industrial rock. Quite a resumé for a band of 4 Brussels misfits. Well not quite, Jean-Luc De Meyer owns his own insurance company and is quite the blue-collar guy. In addition, they were among the few musicians who grasped FM synthesis, along with Brian Eno. The end was no shtik. Jean-Luc and Richard-23 do hate each other's guts. They're the analogy of the troubled relationship that Mick Jagger and Keith Richards have.
