Editorial Reviews

Product Description
NYC's MSI is not only a musical hybrid of Atari driven electronics with a venomous splash of ADD punk rock, but they're also Metropolis Records' biggest selling band to date. Their full-length, "You'll Rebel To Anything", debuted at #1 on Billboard's Heatseekers Chart and #107 on Billboard's Top 200. The KMFDM remix of "Straight To Video" was placed on the popular video game "Burnout Revenge" (EA Games), and their earlier single, "Shut Me Up" was placed on the upcoming "Saints Row" game (THQ), as well as being the theme song to MTV's "Xploited". They just completed their highest grossing North American headlining tour. Featuring seventeen tracks, "Straight To Video" includes remixes by some of the most notable names in the genre, such as Front Line Assembly, KMFDM, Velvet Acid Christ, The Birthday Massacre, Front 242, and more. Also includes an acapella and instrumental version of the title track so fans can make their own mix.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good for what it is, March 31, 2006

I have always loved MSI. I think that for 7 dollars this is a good cd. Yes its the same sone redone 15 times, but its a good variety. I bought it because they play the Combichrist version at the club I go to. It just so happens that the other versions are just as good. Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Met deal pays off for MSI bigtime!, April 8, 2006

By	Nails in My Head - See all my reviews

I'm not an MSI fan.
There, I said it.
This lack of interest notwithstanding, this little EP is f*cking fantastic. Virtually every worthwhile band in the dying American EBM scene puts in its two cents, and to brilliant, variant, and deviant effect.
The opening mix is not soooo fantastic, but by the KMFDM remix, if your New Rock boots aren't stomping at max BPM, Electro must be dead to you. The Assemblage 23 mix is also surpisingly good, the best work Tom Shear has done in years. I never knew he had such remixing talent. But the possible best is the BTM mix, a perfect blend of two fantastic bands, with elements from both equally present. Front 242 also makes a breathtaking contribution, and Haujobb slows it down nicely as only Haujobb can.
Oh, and the lyrics make me giggle uncontrollably on the acapella mix.

3.0 out of 5 stars One song. Many remixes, Gets boring soon., June 22, 2007

There are two ways that artists go wrong with remixes. One way is when they make remixes that inlvolve a genre that clashes with their own. For instance, Switchblade Symphony's compilation of remixes. And a second way is the case of this series of remixes of Straight to Video. It gets boring very soon.
