(By Nadia Hantuit) It all started this morning when Front 242’s official Instagram account posted a picture (which you can see below). It shows a detail of what looks like printing proofs for what is definitely vintage Front 242. The text in the picture simply read “No Comment” followed by the url of the Alfa Matrix webstore. You don’t need to be super smart to realise that the band was to issue the 3rd part in the 35th anniversary reissue galore.

The picture was afterwards also posted on the official Alfa Matrix Instagram account and half an hour later also on Facebook “after which a wave of orders started to pour in” so Alfa Matrix told us, since the label had started to offer a pre-order for the “No Comment + Politics Of Pressure” reissue.

Here’s the Instagram post that started it all.

#nocomment now available too – go to www.alfa-matrix-store.com #front242 @alfamatrix

The “No Comment + Politics Of Pressure” re-release is available in 3 different formats (actually 6 if you count the 4 differently coloured vinyls on top) including a deluxe collector box 2LP/3CD/… edition with loads (and we really mean LOADS) of extras including a 1987 live recording. You can see the full details of this monster boxset right here. Fans will be happy to know that when they order via the Alfa Matrix webstore, they will also get bonus cards and/or stickers with each purchase of the ltd box sets.

You can also order the remastered versions of both “No Comment” and “Politics Of Pressure” via Bandcamp as standalone releases.

Next to that “No Comment / Politics Of Pressure” is also available as a normal CD, again remastered by Daniel B. (with “No Shuffle V2” as a bonus track). And that very CD is also included in the 4 different coloured vinyl versions of the album which come in various combinations as you can see right here.

Since you’re here …

… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.

Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.

If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
