During the second half of the 80's Front 242 was of major importance on the swedish electro scene, although being belgian. Geography is one of the best albums from Front 242 with its basic electronic sounds and beats, lovely metallic ambience in some tunes and most of the time minimal amount of variations in both music and vocals. Of course the very belgian english accent is there, in all its cuteness and so typical for the 80's electro vocalists from Europe (belgian, german, scandinavian etc). Although Front 242 lyrics are both in english, german and french at times. The vocals are most of the time attempting to be basic and raw, then suddenly switching to become soft and kind of melodic, which is at times quite funny. Many of the voice samples used on this and other Front 242 albums are recycled in electro tunes on the scene today.
Geography is of course a child of its time and should be regarded for what it is. However, it made a difference back then and is representative for a sort of electro sound being very popular in the mid 80's around northern Europe and Scandinavia. Geography should definitively be taken into when talking about the scene at that time, so listen to it and give Geography 2 & U-Men a go!
Obviously some of the tunes from this album are one of my favourites when it comes around for a ride down 'memory lane'.
