Front 242 - Headhunter (DJ Lombardino's "V1 0" Video Edit) • Anton Corbijn 1988
+++++
"Headhunter" was released as a single in 1988, as a 12" (Version 1.0) and a 7" (Version 2.0). Each featured a corresponding version of "Welcome to Paradise" as the B-side. A third version appeared later on the 1988 album Front By Front (Version 3.0). A music video using the shorter "Version 2.0" soundtrack was directed by Anton Corbijn. It depicted the bandmembers in an urban landscape of Brussels, including the Berlaymont building and the Atomium that had been built for the 1958 World's Fair,[2] and used eggs as a visual theme. According to bandmember Patrick Codenys this was because Corbijn misheard the song title as "Egg Hunter".[3]
When asked during an interview about the concept for the song, Front 242's vocalist and lyricist Jean-Luc De Meyer replied, "I had the chance to work in an insurance company before, and I worked in the department of human resources and I saw the way that this company was trying to hire people. It was very polite and very nice with men in suits, but at the same time it was very cut-throat. I wanted to make a parallel between tribal warfare and these activities. The song means both of these activities."[4]
After a long hiatus from 1993 onward, Front 242 regrouped to re-record the song in late 1999, releasing it with multiple remixes on the dual-CD single Headhunter 2000.
COMA Music Magazine ranked "Headhunter" as the greatest industrial song of all time in 2012.[5] In 2022, Rolling Stone ranked it at number 60 in its list of the "200 Greatest Dance Songs of All Time".[6]

Rêve #001
Je suis dans un bus.
Il dévale une pente enneigée.
Accident.
Je ne suis ni parmi les morts,
ni parmi les vivants.
On me cherche.
Mais, je suis un extra-terrestre.
