CoC : Fear Factory - Remanufacture: Cloning Technology : Review

Fear Factory - _Remanufacture: Cloning Technology_
(Roadrunner, 1997)
by: Adrian Bromley (8 out of 10)

Finally! After many failed attempts to get out a 'remanufactured' version of sophomore release _Demanufacture_ to the public, Fear Factory finally unleashes _Remanufacture_. This remixed collection of material totally disassembles the previous _Demanufacture_ material and puts it back together in numerous techno/industrial-laced formats. Much like the band's previous EP, 1993's _Fear Is the Mindkiller_, this will surely shock some of their fans with the predominantly smooth techno feel and production circulating throughout the record. It's still heavy though, as producer extraordinaire Rhys Fulber (Frontline Assembly, Delirium) brings a heavy crunch to the industrial/techno-tinged numbers. Basically, all the songs off _Demanufacture_ get put through the blender with many parts re-organized or forgotten. In a nutshell, it's all the same shit 'cept more fucked up. Note: the remix of "Replica" is fucking amazing! Live a little and watch (and listen) to see how Fear Factory combine their powerful music and their views of technology to take shape and form a twisted and distorted product for our ears. Crank it!
