Front 242's 1988 album "Front By Front" is one of the pillars of industrial music, and while its a great listen straight thru, "Headhunter" is unquestionably the standout track, the "hit" Front 242 is most known for. The video was done by Anton Corbjin, who has done most of Depeche's Mode's most interesting visuals, so although it's a bunch of Belgian (thanks Dale) guys walking around sparse industrial landscapes eating eggs, it might seem a little familiar. Got lots of play on MTV's "120 Minutes". "Headhunter" - an essential 80's track!

Nice! There's a double-CD remix of this song that came out in 2000. It's not something I play all the way through, but it's great to have so many mixes of such a popular song to play.
