thank you for doing this, it is vastly appreciated. I know the song sits uneasily at times . . . maybe its a comfort thing for me in this moment, but if I could hear all my favourite songs anew like this again I would be very happy! great job, those fresh ears are the best in the business.

Glad you guys found the old tapes.. living in Chicago I listened to alot of KMFDM through out the early Nineties.. looking forward to bending an ear!!! keep it up!!
"Originally this was recorded on two reels of Ampex 456 2" Tape on two Studer A800 Mk III Multitrack Tape Machines, synched via SMPTE at Studio X, Seattle in the fall of 1994.
In 2007 the original tapes were "baked" in order to play them one last time before utter tape deterioration set in, the tape machines were fired up yet once again and both tapes were recorded (and thus digitized) into Protools, perfectly synched via SMPTE.
Finally, after unearthing the believed-to-be-lost session files in early 2021, it was mixed yet one more time. We did not manipulate anything at all on a digital level, there was no "Auto-tuning" applied, we didn't move things around, did not replace any of the original sounds, no "corrections" of any kind were made, all we did was mix it "with fresh ears". Fresh as a daisy, for your listening pleasure, here comes a total recall of one of KMFDM's all-time faves. Enjoy !"

I loved how Raymond acknowledges his KMFDM roots and and demonstrates his experience in it. It was also a pleasure to hear Steve White's guitars for the first PIG time in this as well. nyteowl666

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! Benjamin Crockett
