I might check out Touch Screen. Instead of remixing all this crap they should remaster some of the classics.
on one hand though, it does make sense that a band that’s on tour should be supporting a release… i doubt any chain stores still have something from a year ago on their shelves, so may as well try ang get a few bucks out of the people that’ll go to the store after the show to buy a cd
Are you kidding?
Excited over a bunch of shitty remixes by shitty artists of shitty songs by a shitty band now left without a single solitary original freakin’ member left in its line-up and who weren’t even particularly exciting in the first place??
Either you don’t get out much or you own every single album that both Orgy and Coal Chamber ever released during their limited, miserable existances.
Whatever the excuse, you two should be ashamed of yourselves. Even the fanboys over at Litany are guffawing at this.
This is all the world needs right now - ANOTHER remix of a 13th Planet album that sold approximately 30 units to inbred teeny goths high on helium and prescription medication on their way home from a KMFDM reunion gig.
This release Sux-O Dixxx-O
1002
I personally loathe remixes, HOWEVER, I was a HUGE fan of them in the mid-'80’s, the 12" mix of “I love you” by Yello? Sherwood’s 12" remix of Neubauten’s “Yu Gung”??? fucking amazing!!! but, that was 25 years ago…
True story: I knew it was all over when Al delivered the “amyl nitrate mix” of “crackin’ up” which had started off as a mix I believe Paul and Bill were doing, sure as shit, Al managed to suck all the life out of the song over his customary 3 weeks-per-mix
Complete waste of time and money
and noone bought it anyway

Why don’t 13th Planet go and scout for some new upcoming talent instead of releasing albums and remix albums by personal friends.
There are plenty of new bands out there with something to offer, who could benefit by being taught the ropes by someone who’s been there before. Al has spent 30 years in the business - surely he’d have some business smarts to share?!?
Instead they release hokey remix versions of dated industrial dance rock with cringe worthy lyrics.
How many people bought the last Revco album? 500 or something?
Didn’t someone say it sold like 100?
lol, another album.
ATKINS!

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLL!
This ‘remix’ albums trend is ostensibly little more than a pathetic cash grab, HOWEVER…
I preferred all the remixes to the original albums. Rio Grande Dub shat all over it’s predecessor, as did the last RevCo remix album.
It was as though there were all these ideas that didn’t make the final cut and ended up just being released as remixes. I don’t think that’s too unreasonable an assumption given that the bulk of the remixes were done by people in the ‘Minis-co’ camp.
Still… it’s all kind of pathetic. Rather than use these ideas on the original album and make something worthwhile releasing, we’re stuck with two mediocre albums from the same artist.
It’s all rather tiresome. Sad to see an artist who was legitimised by his ability to reinvent succumb to creative void that is rehashing.

Oh, that sums it all up SO perfectly.

Hey chrispy, do you mind elaborating on this? I certainly am not an ‘al-colyte’, but what he didn’t doesn’t seem all that unreasonable from an outside perspective, yet it seems like there’s a lot more to it… I mean, how did you know it was ‘all over’ because of one remix, and how had it ‘sucked the life out of the song’?
Waah, waah, somebody stoled my band!
I believe Chris was referring to the remix from back in 93. And he was correct.
But, of course, I bought it too and the album as well. Must have been one of the few, because I remember the album still showing up in cutout bins for many years.
The Sex-O Olympic-O album is reprehensible to begin with - can’t see how a bunch of remixers are suddenly going to bring it to life.
I wouldn’t even download it for free.
