This is a remix collection based on songs originally released on British Leech Woman's first three albums, a vital remix album which despite the fact that 8 songs appear in 18 different versions doesn't become boring. The key word is different; most of the remixes do have their own character.
The Noise Creator remix of "Solid State/Fedrill" utilizes a couple of samples from the movie "Event Horizon" to create a horrific atmosphere where cut-up beats interlace with screams and noises. This is easily my favourite track on this album, even though there are quite a few excellent tracks to be found.
The Dark Half remix of Cardinal is a dark, cinematic piece flavoured with piano and strings while the vocalist screams in agony. No noise to be found on this piece, a welcome break and a time to cool off a bit.
There's also awesome industrial drum and bass (the Matt Green remix of "Tool"), gabber-noise (the Total Output take on "Solid State") as well as head on, straight up, punch in the face noise terror, best exemplified byt the Exitboy remix of "Cardinal".
This is an uncompromising and brutal release, a complete headfuck actually; it's a release I love when the time is right while I can find it utterly disturbing when not in the mood for it, just as I think should be the case with harsh noise music. A while ago I stated that a "remix record should get you interested in the remixed artist, or at least in the remixing artists"; unlike the record in question back then this one does get me interested in both, and now I'm off to find at least one of the original Leech Woman releases.
