Mechanical Soul

Benjamin Crockett FLA is a SONIC ELECTRONIC BULLDOZER. That's about the most concise way I can describe how this album feels to me.
'Alone' is hands down my top pick here, although I do find 'Rubber Tube Gag' sticking in my brain a lot, too.
My one criticism (constructive of course) is that sometimes the lyrics feel underinspired, but it's not a big issue in the grander context of this otherwise excellent album. This one definitely grows on you, too. Good stuff, and solidly recommended.
Long live FLA! Favorite track: Alone.

DomekRomek This stuff SLAPS Favorite track: Unknown.

Sidekick Wave I’ve been an FLA fan for over three decades and I’ve enjoyed most of their albums, however this one is a favorite out of all the great work they’ve done. Reminds me of an update on Tactical Neural Implant, and as someone who preferred “Gun” to “Blade” it rides the same b-side vibe of that classic industrial sci-fi classic. Favorite track: Unknown.

Easily draws you in with with the parallels drawn between say the hardline ebm vibe of 'Strategies of Violence' and the current tunes Rhys and Bill produce together with FLA. As was always the case that these projects play off each other. However, with 4 preview tracks, the new Noise Unit is more engaging than 'Mechanical Soul'...as a whole! :) tvcasualty77
