5.0 out of 5 stars Superlative, December 29, 1999

FLA returns with their most polished effort to date. While their sideprojects have always explored various niches of their musical tastes, this is the first FLA album to truly integrate those influences with the classic FLA sounds of TNI and Hard Wired, the sheer aggressiveness of Caustic Grip, and the badass drum'n bass loops(thank you, Chris!) of the criminally underappreciated FLAvour. The powerful choirs on 'Prophecy', Bill actually singing on 'Falling', the chorus on 'Machine Slave', and the majestic Delerium-esque tracks 'Silent Ceremony' and 'Synthetic forms' - all examples of the new FLA - more melodic, better produced, and as aggressive as ever. Buy this record, check out the sideprojects, support a great band. You won't regret it.

and then I heard this brilliant gem which took my breath away. I've been a long-time fan of FLA since the early days and they keep evolving (albeit with a few exceptions), but this release is amazing, simply amazing. It combines the best of all their side projects and then some. I love every song (they're all different) but #3 is the true standout in my opinion. I can listen to it over and over, never tiring and hear something different each time. The samples don't bother me, in fact they add an interesting edge, same with the vocals, from actual singing to subliminally whispered darkness; love it! This cd is also the hands-down perfect one to listen to on long dark evening drives... it's mezmerizing, hypnotic, melodic with a harsh edge, dark, moody and beautiful. Simply perfect.

5.0 out of 5 stars just one word..wow!!!, September 12, 1999

Man what a great piece of music have Bill And Chris put together. They've put all of FLA's side projects into one cd and it freaking worked. The first three songs are your typical Agressive Fla-work your body songs. The second song is just amazing, Bill's voice really stands out and that chunky guitar rift fits like a glove. "Prophecy" is a mid-tempo yet agressive track. I love the lyrics to it. The fourth is an ambient werk with some Event Horizon samples. The fifth track is so un-fla, but its an amazing song, i think its the first fla song to use an aquistic guitar. The sixth is another ambeint werk, a good one at that too. Unknow dreams, the 7th track, should be the song that gets the general public hooked on fla, Bill actually sings, there is some scratching evident, and a really catchy chorus. Torched is another wonderfull track, and so is the 9thtrack. Synthetic forms, the last track, smells of Delerium. It's a wonderfull etheral track. All in all a great cd, a must by for anybody who's into EBM, industrial dance, or just likes good music.
