Consolidated - This Is Fascism, February 22, 2011
This review is from: Consolidated - This Is Fascism (Remixes) /Rare Double 12" Vinyl (Vinyl)
Consolidated, the left-leaning industrialists from the late 80s, gets the full remix treatment here. This is Fascism boasts an impressive line-up, everything from the straight-up techno of Carl Cox and DJ Shufflemaster, the crazy house of Coldcut, the booming hip-hop of Fun-Da-Mental to the goth-industrial of C.P.U. and Jack Dangers. As is usually the case with remix collections, the quality and originality varies. Some (like Johnny Moy) simply loop a line repeatedly over and place their own arrangement beneath it. Others put their own unique stamp on the track (the dubwise Pressure Drop). And still others obliterate the song to the point where you're wondering where the original is (David Holmes). As a whole, however, the tracks sound a bit dated. It's too bad, because it's important to get people grooving against fascism.
