No Comment is a 1984 Front 242 album released on the Another Side music label. The album was the first reference to Electronic Body Music (EBM) [1] when the band included the phrase "Electronic Body Music Composed and Produced On Eight Tracks by Front 242" in reference to their use of an 8-track recording device. Though the album was their second full-length album, the Belgian band had released several singles and EPs prior to No Comment. The dialogue samples featured in the track "Special Forces" are from the movie Apocalypse Now.
