The Initial Command is the first full-length studio album released by Canadian industrial band Front Line Assembly, released in 1987 through Belgian label KK.[1]
Release
Since the 1987 release of The Initial Command, the album has been re-issued several times. American label ROIR released the album in 1990 on cassette[2] with a different cover. It was the first release of the album in the United States[3] and the second Front Line Assembly album released by ROIR after the band's second album State of Mind.[2] British label Third Mind followed in 1992 with a licensed CD version in the United States. Los Angeles–based Cleopatra's and German Zoth Ommog's release in 1997 contained two new tracks and new cover art. This re-release incorrectly listed the second track "Core" as "Intelligence Dream" while the liner notes have the correct title.[4] "Complexity" and "Core" appear to be new songs at the time of release.[4] Polish label Mecanica issued a vinyl edition of the 1997 release in summer 2002,[5] while Cleopatra re-issued a remastered version of the album on September 3, 2022 on vinyl and with the two bonus tracks on CD.[6]
Production
The music was recorded on a 4-track tape.[7]
