1993 was a big year for
Front 242: two major releases of new stuff, two remix releases, plus the wildly popular
Lollapalooza tour.
Up Evil was the first release of the year, in late May. It retains the brooding, menacing sense of
Tyranny For You, but less dance-y, more
trance-y, and smoother transitions within and between tracks.
Crapage and
Religion formed the basis for the first maxisingle release, also titled
Religion.
Up Evil and its major successor, 05:22:09:12 Off, are probably best understood as a package: cover art, mixing techniques, and musical and lyrical themes closely tie the two albums together.

If you replace each number in "06:21:03:11" with the associated letter of the alphabet, you get a naughty word.
