Review

"Distort" is a collection of Remixes from the "Beneath The Skin" album along with a few covers of other songs including Collide's version of Devo's "Whip It" ( which is absolutely amazing ) : Devo's bleeps and blops are replaced with noise and heavy percussion, while kaRIN's purrs and whispers give the song a far more 'alluring' quality. The Remixes are all sufficiently different from the originals, from the relatively subtle changes in Beneath the Skin ( Razor's Edge Mix by Das Ich ) to the weirdness that is Violet's Dance ( Abstract Dub F**k ). Initially released in 1988 ( and deleted for years ) this re-release includes the track "Felix The Cat" --Music Non-Stop

Product Description

Described as beauty with an edge, Collide merges industry and passion within swirling layers of sound, emotion and poetry. Collide features the dynamic , lush, mechanical soundscapes of Statik, a mster of sound orchestration who uses machines as instruments, and turns technology into art; and kaRIN, who creates the sensuous moody vocals and surrealistic lyrics that give Collide its seductive sound.

5.0 out of 5 stars Collide rules!, November 23, 2008

By	M. Mallett (Illinois) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

After "discovering" Collide via their "Like the Hunted" concert DVD, I bought essentially everything they ever released. I'm even wearing a Collide kaRIN hoodie as I type this. Statik's mastery of sound production and mixing, along with kaRIN's incredible vocals, makes for some enjoyable listening. One must watch for Collide's collaborations with other artists because this can only make for even more enjoyable listening. I sure hope Collide performs live again soon and either produces another DVD or performs live in the midwest so I can see them in person!
