Liner Notes:

"Long at the forefront of the industrial revolution, Front 242 was a principal contributor to the Wax Trax! stable of '80s dance music. Earlier this year Epic, for whom the band now records, issued 06:21:03:11 Up Evil, an album already followed up by the equally inscrutably titled 05:22:09:12 Off. 'Animal (Zoo)' , taken from the new LP, is as dark and disturbing a techno dream as one can image from this seminal band. The driving dance track shows the Belgians haven't lost their edge or softened their sound in the years since having unleashed such disturbing audio emissions upon the unsuspecting public." 1
