Thirlwell.\u003cbr\u003eDirectors: Craig Leon; Cassell Webb.\u003cbr\u003eThe first of two releases for Front 242 in 1993, 06:21:03:11 Up Evil (aka F*ck Up Evil) found the foursome rebounding from the somewhat sterile Tyranny (For You) with a varied, vicious assault. Incorporating guitar noise more readily than ever before, but most often chopped up and heavily treated for the band's own particular purposes, 06:21:03:11 Up Evil contains some of the band's most virulent, explosive songs. All titles are one-word long, simple, and straightforward, with names like \"Flag,\" \"Mutilate,\" and \"Crapage.\" There's almost a straight-up rock feel to a number of tracks as well, as the drumming on \"Waste\" and the quite anthemic \"Melt\" shows. It's hardly Front 242's grunge move, though -- Jean-Luc de Meyer and the generally little-heard Richard 23 may have a more openly emotional rasp and rage in their voices, especially de Meyer, but the relentless beat of industrial\/electronic body music lives on. Leadoff single \"Religion\" continues the group's winning vein on that front, feedback roars and a huge beat setting an edgy pace before a body slam of a chorus kicks in, de Meyer raging over the top, \"Let me burn you down!\" The winning secret of the album is that a fair number of songs also demonstrate a careful subtlety, as with the sly mood-setting of \"Skin,\" with its chopped-up electro\/hip-hop beats providing the propulsion behind desperate whispers and ominous synth buzzes. The immediately following \"Motion\" provides an even more upfront blend of styles, with a quiet start and gentle singing suddenly shifting into a pounding call-to-arms percussion attack, all while de Meyer chants, \"progress, progress!\" again and again. Other successes in this vein include the strange prettiness of \"Stratoscape,\" featuring a low, purring bassline and crisp beats offset against soft keyboard sparkles and chimes, and \"Fuel,\" which includes minimal ambient buzz, more upfront dance\/beat chaos, and varying combinations of the two. ~ Ned Raggett","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45447658995999,"sku":"074645343327","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/fb0f9dc84aa96b494451800abe6ec925.jpg?v=1777843357","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/06-21-03-11-up-evil","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
