5.0 out of 5 stars The Real FLA Stands Up, March 10, 1999

By

This review is from: Re-Wind (Audio CD)

I've was worried about FLA. As a fan since the early 90s, I've watched them grow and develop. And I've stumbled across their MANY side projects, enjoying most. But with FLAVour of the Weak, it appeard FLA was suffering from being strung out TOO much among their side projects. When I buy FLA, I WANT FLA, not Delerium or Synanaesthesia or Noise Unit.

I was hesitant to buy RE-Wind, but I'm a fan. And I'm glad I bought it - as true FLA fans will be. The remixes FLA provides on the first disk are more FLA than the originals. Mind you, it's more the FLA from Tactical Neural Implant rather than the more recent Millenium and Hard Wired. A step back, perhaps, but at least it's back to good old FLA. Much more dancey and club friendly, but that's what makes it so great. The music is catchy and draws you in deeper and deeper. That's the beauty of true FLA. The more you listen, the deeper you get.

The second CD, well, it's remixes. As is the norm, if you like the group who does the remix, you'll probably like the remix.

The main reason to buy it, however, is to have some real FLA to listen to. If you were disappointed with FLAVour, don't pass up RE-Wind. It'll restore your faith, and get you thrashing around the room again.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not the highest marks, September 21, 2005

This review is from: Re-Wind (Audio CD)

I bought this CD knowing what I was getting into - and that was for Comatose [Re-Entry-Mix] and Electrocution [Shocker Mix] - both on disc #1. There are a couple or three other mixes that are alright, but the collection as a whole doesn't match up to the album versions, and the remixes are trying too hard to sound like remixes. The drums, and the TB-303 bass lines are just a little too prevalent on most of the tracks (I much prefer the 2600 bass lines). And just for the record, I'm a pretty big fan of FLAvour of the Week.

If you don't have FLAvour of the week, I recommend you buy that first...and if you really dig it and just have to have more, then buy Re-Wind second - or skip it and move onto Epitaph and/or Implode which are both excellent!

The remix of Electrocution on disc 1 is excellent and so is Evil Playground on disc 2. The other remixes are ok aswell, but just not as good as those 2.
This is a worthy investment if you collect FLA cd's. Also recommended as a taste tester for the bands and DJs who do these remixes on disc 2. Disc 1 is remixed by FLA.
This is among my favourite FLA cd's with Caustic Grip, TNI, Hard Wired, and Live Wired. Yep, that's right most of the songs on Re-Wind are remixes of songs from FLAvour Of The Weak, and its EP's, but I like the Leeb+Rhys combo more than Leeb+Peterson (except for this cd and Equinox-Holon).
