Those look super cool. Happy I don’t do physicals anymore because they’re way out of my price range but I’d have to have them.

It’s weird that these are coming out so close in time to the Cleopatra reissues of mostly the same material. I guess different releases for the North American vs. European markets.

A mecanica release is always unique, when they did the pailhead trait release the cover was one of those soft touch covers.
Big sexyland came with a bonus 7".

It seems like they do the unique things on the 1st pressings only.
The front line stuff is day and night compared to the cleo release.

Just jumping on this old thread to ask if anyone has seen FLA on the new tour? The set list is freaking awesome, all stuff from Wax Trax! era through Tactical Neural… I’m out of the States so won’t see them, but wanted to live vicariously through someone else’s joy.

I saw the Cold Waves show here in LA. Was a fantastic set. “Digital Tension Dementia” is the first FLA song I ever heard and I immediately loved them. Finally (finally) got to hear them play it this go round. “Provision”, “Iceolate”. . .all so good. Only thing missing was “Virus”. Such a good show.

I think “Body Count” from the Wax Trax video sampler what I first heard- honestly my jaw dropped when I saw that was on the setlist. So good and so happy that you had a great time!

One question if you don’t mind, other than Bill and Rhys - was there anyone else in the band?

ETA: Answered my own question, watched video and looks like it’s Bill/Rhys and a drummer and another keyboard guy.

Yeah. Don’t know who they are though.

Keyboardist is Blush_Response.

Hoping this means Gashed Senses & Crossfire gets released on vinyl next. That’s always been my favorite. Loved hearing Big Money live on this tour.

Oh that’s cool, I’ve enjoyed the work he’s done with Rhys. Would love to hear him contribute to a new FLA album.

In the video I watched, he seemed to be having the time of his life on stage with the band - like he’s been a long term fan and loves playing the classics.
