Front 242 and Lords Of Acid included on 4xCD <em>The Sound Of Belgium</em> compilation

Belgian dance music’s heftiest hitters are set to be appraised on a sizeable new compilation. 

As our recent The New Sound Of Belgium feature demonstrated, the Battlefield Of Europe has plenty going for it in musical terms in 2013. A forthcoming documentary, The Sound of Belgium, will endeavour to draw attention to the city’s rich electronic heritage, and the accompanying soundtrack looks like a peach.

The four-disc The Sound of Belgium set has been conceived as a companion piece to the film, and offers a broad survey of Belgian-born electronic music from the last four decades. Over its 60 tracks, the set plots the development of the underground New Beat Scene, best known for producing the likes of Front 242 and Lords Of Acid, plus early exercises in coldwave and EBM. Belgium’s robust 1990s House and Techno scenes are also amply represented, as are non-natives who helped influence the country’s sound (Joey Beltram and Klaus Schulze among them).

The Sound Of Belgium is due on November 25 through La Musique Fait La Force. The Belgium Booms series of events, which is bringing the likes of Dikke Ronny and The Glimmers to Corsica Studios, kicks off later this week.
