Front 242 is not just a favorite among the black-trench-coat crowd — no self-respecting trance DJ can dare leave the house without at least one 242 track. As a thank you to its fans, the band is releasing its first live DVD, Catch the Men. The first 1,000 copies of this Internet-only release will include an exclusive compilation.
