Excellent Remixes

This is a 6 track CD and isn't that long. But that's the beauty of this CD, the 6 tracks are long remixed versions of popular FF songs of other albums. Raunchy techno beats mix with deep throbbing industrial rythmns. Martyr, Scapegoat and Scumgrief are remixed on this CD and a new remixed song called 'Self Immolation' is introduced on this release.



All songs are hell of a great listen and a must for any fan of dance beats. Great for moshing too or chilling out after a long day at work.

Fear Factory At Their Finest Hour

I have never loved Fear Factory, especially their horrid later day releases ('Digimortal'), but I seriously love this album. When I first heard their first album I thought that they sounded like a death metal Ministry, not necessarily a bad thing, and gave their first album - "Soul of a New Machine" - quite a few spins in my C.D. player, but nothing prepared me for the remix album that followed. 'Fear is the Mindkiller' is what I associate with Fear Factory, pummeling riffs, the growling death vocals (you heard me, death vocals), the killer sampling, and the throbbing guitars. I for one always like remix albums (KMFDM and Nine Inch Nails have put out some great ones as well) but this just blows it all away. The simple brutality of "Scapegoat (Pigf-ck Mix)", the great sampling on "Scumgrief (Deep Dub Trauma Mix)", the excellent sound of "Self Immolation" (one of my favorites from 'Soul of a New Machine'), everything about this E.P. (which is basically a single for "Self Immolation" - kind of like Meshuggah's brilliant "True Human Design") is spectacular. If you enjoy industrial metal or death metal this is a must have.

no remix rehab needed after this beauty! ;)

probaly one of the best remix albums out there.. the design of the "machine" is as accomplished as the bulls and there "three-peat"./ very raw + unexpected in its own way- it truly brings out the sounds that you forget on "soul of a new machine".. its simply awesome!
