Metropolis Records presents more KMFDM Classic re-releases. These long out of print essentials from the band's Wax Trax! Records days have been unavailable for years. Now, Metropolis Records is putting them out in the order in which they debuted. Next in line to be released are the cornerstones of the KMFDM back catalog, 1990's Naïve, 1992's Money and 1993's Angst. These albums have all been given the deluxe treatment with some containing additional customized extras. The booklets for Naïve and Angst have both been expanded to 20 pages to include lots of exciting new material. To make this the ultimate version of Naïve, KMFDM has packed the CD full with 5 bonus tracks of remixes originally released on 1994's Naïve: Hell To Go. All KMFDM Classic re-releases have been digitally remastered, presenting their songs in a quality previously unavailable. Documenting the history of KMFDM the accompanying CD booklets all include the original album art (by famed KMFDM co-conspirator Brute!), in-depth liner notes, quotes from KMFDM leader and founder Sascka K., lyrics for each song, never before seen photos of the band, full recording and production credits and more. All work on these releases, from the remastering to the packaging, has been done with the highest level of participation from Sascha K. These releases join KMFDM's first three albums, What Do You Know, Deutschland?, Don't Blow Your Top and UAIOE which are already available from Metropolis Records. Look for the rest of the KMFDM Classics including Nihil and Xtort coming soon. The next phase of the legacy begins, KMFDM is back to Rip The System again!

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
