i cant wait to hear it! i hope working on this makes him look at some more electronic/strange stuff instead of face-forward metal.
yay!
This is great news. However, it is baffling that there has been essentially no noise on this from the 13th planet camp.
This is big news that shows Al still has credibility in the scene he helped create.
The 13th Planet camp always promotes the wrong things. You’d think they’d be all over the fact that there were several Ministry songs in The Hurt Locker, but not a peep.
actually, when i posted about this a few weeks ago info came from 13th camp
This is actually exciting on two levels:
1.) Al Mothafuckin’ J. doing good-old-fashioned EBM again, and
2.) Because the album title sounds suspiciously like a makeshift dildo, a hilariously inappropriate album cover and remix disc.
he kept in touch with M. Balch? [shocked]
M. Balch has’nt been affiliated with fla since '88. He left to join luxa/pan team[:|]
1.) Al Mothafuckin’ J. doing good-old-fashioned EBM again, and
Al NEVER did old-fashioned EBM, unless you count the first RevCo record. I really don’t.
I’m sure he listened to it hanging out at the Waxtrax offices, but I can’t think of any music he did himself that really qualifies.
Isn’t Frontline Assembly kind of wallowing in outdated late 90s industrial-ish electronica though? I don’t follow them. Was never really interested after hearing some album and it was dull typical industrial dance crap.
When I hear about this I picture Al screaming “Stuuupiditttyyy” with the tired old distorted/reverbed/delayed vox effect and I cringe.

Actually Michael was still around in '89 for the Gashed Senses and Crossfire tour which was his last album work with FLA. He played keys and guitar on that tour. Not to be a nitpicker or anything [;)]

what would you call “I Prefer” from LORAH? sounds like old school Nitzer Ebb to me…even “you know what you are”, “flashback” all fit along seamlessly back in the day with NE, DAF, F242 etc…yeah it was a little angrier but…
What about Twitch? I’m pretty sure someone could easily classify that as either industrial, EBM, or a mix of both. I’m curious to hear this. Only FLA album i’ve ever heard/own is their Civilization album, which is alright… I wouldn’t have cared if it weren’t for Skinny Puppy.
I wonder how this worked out… FLA sitting there with a song called “stupidity” and going “hey let’s get Al on this motha”
lol
looking forward to this FLA release. As long as Al aint screaming on it like a fatkid. I know there’s alot of screaming in ebm but Al (at his age) needs to grow up.
