FRONT LINE ASSEMBLY Vinyl & CDs

Review:  But back in the early 1990s, it was feasible that neural implants could remain a lofty form of spycraft forever. Front Line Assembly's 'Tactical Neural Assembly' is built thematically on the excitement of that assumption; it's an album of blistering electro-industrial music, drawing heavily on the Mute-Factory-4AD tradition while appropriating contemporary acts like Nine Inch Nails - and with arguably even better mixing. Eight absolute units from 'Mindphaser' to 'Gun' raise sonic hell, and all cement the industrial as a formidable and well-defined genre.
