FRONT LINE ASSEMBLY Vinyl & CDs

Review: The massive 9xCD sequel box set to last year's Permanent Data 1986-1989, this latest mammoth collectors' item from cold, wavey, hardened hearts Frontline Assembly follows it up, covering the six-year period from 1992-1998. The collection brings together numerous side projects from FLA mastermind Bill Leeb (along with Rhys Fulber and Chris Peterson), including Noise Unit, Synaesthesia, Pro>Tech, and Equinox plus rarities from FLA and Delerium. Each disc comes in its own sleeve and packaged in a deluxe clamshel box with a full-color booklet of thoroughly engrossing liner notes from music journalist Dave Thompson.
