Front 242 - Tragedy for you (12" EP, vinyl rip). 1990.

   One of the most consistent industrial bands ever, Front 242 were the premier exponent of European electronic body music. 

   Initially, the group was just a duo when formed in October 1981 in Brussels; programmers Patrick Codenys and Dirk Bergen recorded "Principles" and released the single on New Dance Records.    A year later, programmer Daniel Bressanutti (aka Daniel B. Prothese) and lead vocalist Jean-Luc de Meyer joined as well. 

   The group's sound began to grow more aggressive with 1984's No Comment EP, still reminiscent of synth pop but with harder-hitting rhythms and added menace from de Meyer's vocals. (from Allmusic)

    They continued making exciting electronic music till the recent years but for now the members of the band are taking a break to pursue various solo projects. 

    Front 242 released this excellent 12 inch record in 1990. It includes three industrial classics, "Neurodancer", "Trigger 3" and "Tragedy for you - instrumental".

A Split Second - Mambo Witch (1988)

   

 A Split-Second was a Belgian electronic body music band. The duo — Marc Ickx and Peter Bonne (under the artist name Chrismar Chayell) — were active from their debut in 1986 until they split up in 1991, and A Split-Second continued as an Ickx solo project.

   After signing to Antler Records, A Split-Second made their debut in 1986 with the single, "Flesh". It was followed the next year by another single, "Rigor Mortis", and the album Ballistic Statues.

In 1988, they were signed to the american label Wax Trax! Records, and released the albums A Split-Second and From The Inside in the US. The singles "Rigor Mortis", "Mambo Witch" and "Colosseum Crash" (featuring guest vocals by Dead Kennedys frontman Jello Biafra) were also chart-topping hits. New members Fedjean Venvelt (guitars) and Peter Boone (keyboards) joined the band for their first US tour.

    Their 1990 album, Kiss of Fury, featured the track "The Parallax View", which was also a successful single and   saw the band moving towards more of a guitar-based sound. Nico Mansy (keyboards) joined the band for their second US tour. "Flesh" peaked in the UK singles chart at #68 in December 1991.

  In 1991, Bonne became involved in a side project, Wasteland, which soon became more important for him than A Split-Second. The duo split up, with Ickx continuing A Split-Second as a solo project. Another album, Vengeance, was released in 1995.

Mambo Witch is a hit from 1988 and it's one of their best moments. A classic industrial in 3 different versions and you really can't tell wich is the best.
