Review of Kampfbereit Review Tracklist First off, a disclaimer - this CD, despite the fact that I found it in a perfectly reputable shop is in all probability a bootleg. You have been warned. This live CD on the mysterious Bundy label compiles a selection of tracks from two 1985 concerts, one in Amsterdam and one in Brussels. There's eight tracks from each, with considerable overlap between the two. There are no real surprises here, with decent versions of songs from Front 242's first two albums.
Sound quality is excellent and the stereo separation is pretty decent too.
The second eight have rather inferior sound by comparison with the first, with noticeable hiss but still reasonable stereo. However, the hiss is only really apparent during the quieter passages and with a decent pair of headphones it's still quite listenable. The material is from the same period as the first concert, although probably not the same tour since those songs that do overlap differ in their arrangements. Although the sound quality is excellent in places, this CD is really only recommended for the serious Front 242 fan especially when you consider how expensive bootlegs can be. If you're either new to Front 242 or have just started with them, you'd be much better off going for the real albums than this live boot.
