The remixes of "Sin City", "One Who Feeds", "4 Walls Black", and "Asphyxiate" on this album are very novel and will fascinate anyone who has heard the originals. However, they don't surpass the originals. My only criticism is that there are some really annoying sound effects toward the end of the "4 Walls Black" remix. They sound sort of like the sounds you hear when a CD is skipping. The new songs on this album in my opinion are the best part, especially "Stitch In Time" and "Procession". If you have been a long time fan of the Genitorturers, add this to your collection. If you have never heard them before, try "Sin City" first. That way you can hear the way the remixes on this album originally sounded.

Okay, simple. I love this band. What they do and how they do it is top notch. If you do not have Sin City (or 120 Days) - get it/them. You will not regret it. Musically, the Genis are pretty much their own genre. A little club, a little crunch, a little show, a little tell, (a little don't tell)... Gen's voice is phenomenal and Chains, Racci, and Evil D compliment her to no end. A very talented unit... My review on Machine Love: As its own album it is very good. The cover of "Touch Myself" will undoubtably fit well into the Geni's show. Gen's voice does this song incredible justice and the song is so well done that they cleverly disguise that the Divinyls ever originally did it. I really like the new cuts; Stitch In Time, Machine Love, and Procession are a good sign that the Geni's are still progressing in a direction that keeps them unique and further instills curiosity in what they will do next. I'm not too keen on the Sin City KMFDM re-mix. However, I can see grand potential for this version in the Geni's over the top shows. Anyone who has been to their shows knows that their music is the baseline of their theatrical performances. If you've never been to a Geni's show - GO! The remixes of One Who Feeds, 4 Walls Black, and Asphixiate are grand. I really got into them from the first spin... The only dissatisfaction I have (from the aspect of a fanatic) is that in waiting for a new disc for 2 years, there are only 4 new songs. As a supplement EP to another album this would have been a titalating little treasure. Mind you, I am not saying that there is anything wrong with this album. As its own work this is great, get it. I just really hope that it isn't 2 more years before another full-length original masterpiece from the Genitorturers comes out... Pierced to perfection, great work Geni's!

I'm pleased to announce that the Genitorturers keep getting better with each release. Such things are a rarity, nowadays. I can honestly say that I was taken by each song on this CD (except, perhaps, the KMFDM remix of "Sin City"...that just made me feel a bit queasy...and I am even a KMFDM fan). Gen has a truly remarkable vocal range: well-sustained highs and deeply resounding lows. It's quite lovely. So, to all of the journalists or genre fans that wrote them off as a novelty act, you are all slightly off the mark. Give them a chance...they really have something to offer.

This cd has the cover "Touch Myself" on it as well as other songs remixed with the help of such bands as K.M.F.D.M. and Razed in Black. All the songs on here are hard core. My only complaint is that there are only 8 songs on here.

I love this album the minute I listened to it. Of course, that was two years ago, but still one of my favorites that I miss dearly. I like music like this that'll let you get your freak on as well as seeing girls getting freaky with it too. If you can, when you buy this get Sin City too. And while you're at it, buy the upcoming DVD of the same title. I haven't seen it yet, but I'm sure I won't be disappointed when I do. Jessica Alba, need I say more?

Another fabulous release from Gen & crew. I've seen these guys live & there really is no comparison. A change from 120 days, but still a super album that can be listened to over & over (it's on my hard drive so when I ruin one copy, I can make another).

From the first note to the last Gen and her boys deliver once again. Touch Myself is probably the best cover ever done by any band of any song. The other new songs are true Genitorturer style, and the remix show how great the remixers are. There is no other way do describe this cd except for AWESOME!

I can't even convey how much this band means to me. Rarely does something serve to touch people so deeply. Everyone that I know who are familiar with this band don't just like them .. we LOVE them. I think the fanatacism stems from the intense bonding that they present through thier live shows. Anyone who even thinks of writing this band off as a novelty is both lazy * cuz they obviously have not listened to them or is just too stupid to see the absolute and complete brilliance of this band. This is rock & roll that smacks you beneath the belt where it outta be!]
machine Love is a fun remix Ep, highly recommend it. Also you will want to purchase SIN CITY and 120 days. But Sin City is amazing for it's cover of Touch Myself. Hands down one of the best covers I have ever heard.

I have to say that I am a huge fan of this band and have seen them live 4 times to date. While the CD is pretty decent, I would have to say I prefer their previous release "120 Days of Genitorture" or "Flesh is the Law" because they are a bit more hard edge. I do like the new tracks that are on this CD, but seems to be filled with about half remixes and half new. I prefer the original versions on "Sin City" to the remixes on "Machine Love". I would say if you really want the most popular CD that got them on the map pick up then get "Sin City", if you want something a little more danceable try "Machine Love". For the hardcore stuff that is the raunchy down and dirty Genitortures that I worship pick up "120 Days of Genitorture" or "Flesh is the Law"!

it's good stuff. however, i'm not as impressed by it as i am by some other remix cds i like (i'm primarily thinking of nine inch nails here, which may not be fair). the remixes i like will completely rebuild a track and make it really different -- take it in a wholly new direction. the remixes on this are just technoish versions of the originals. as such, they don't completely wow me. (well, okay, i do really like the remix of Sin City. :) but they *are* good, and the cd is worth getting if you like this band.
