It is hard to pinpoint with accuracy why the new Front Line Assembly single is so much stronger and more danceable than their last releases. But it is obvious that the new quartet, composed of Bill Leeb, Jeremy Inkel, Chris Peterson and Jared Slingerland, has concentrated on its old form once again.Front Line Assembly created great landmark albums such as "Tactical Neural Implant" and "Hard Wired", and their quality was their cinematic industrial sound in widescreen format which left the competition technically trembling in their wake. This new vitality is apparent on all of the three songs featured on the new single and heralds the upcoming album "Improvised Electronic Device" as a hybrid of electronics and guitars, combining the best of both worlds.“Chris, Bill and Jeremy threw there a complete battery synthesizers against. The song has a superb break and sounds simply fantastic."
