Rework
Great revamp of an already wicked album! If you like the usual FLA you will love this. A reworking of Echogenetic as you never heard it before.

Class remix album - reminds you how good FLA can be, even in the hands of others.
Whilst this may seem an odd comparison to some, for me this remix album is their closest to Civilisation's departure from previous material/sounds. Echogenetic may be the basis, but aside from the 2 new songs (co-written with lead Sneaker Pimp-er), most of these remixes/reinterpretations are incredible. Yes, one or two focus very much on d'n'b/speed garage percussive influences, or at least triggered drum bursts of those genres, but when nestled within this excellent album they don't outstay their welcome.This is by far my fave FLA remix album, as the styles are varied, but there's plenty of the original's vibe to convey this as the closest thing to a new album by the group themselves! The Exo remix is jaw-droppingly good, and we get several dance-floor orientated EBM arrangements that harden up the originals and take them, and the listener, to entirely new plains! Don't get me wrong, the apocalyptic lyrics are still there, but some of the arrangements on this album add new emotion and warmth, whilst not swamping Bill's vocal delivery. We veer from modernised TNI to rusty chain-sawed Civilisation at the drop of a hat, and its a very exhilarating ride.

Long time FLA fan.... Front Line Assembly has done it again!
Simply put..... INCREDIBLE!If you are an EBM fan at all and even if you've never heard of FLA.... THIS IS MUST GET!I would love to know what DAWs and/or other equipment was used on this album. This is a great follow-up to Echogenetic/Airmech and the mixes are not redundant at all to their predecessors. Hats off to you Front Line Assembly for staying strong and evolving into the mean machine you are today!

Some versions of ECHOGENETIC songs that are maybe not as good, and some versions that are a good deal ...
Well worth getting. Some versions of ECHOGENETIC songs that are maybe not as good, and some versions that are a good deal better than the original versions. An absolutely solid offering from FLA.

Good change of pace
I have several FLA CDs. This is a decent one, but not my favorite. It is a nice change of pace however. If you want the best, get Airmech.

Five Stars
There are some VERY good remixes on this, specifically "EXO(Hijacker)" is an incredible track.
