Initial pressings of EPITAPH are packaged in a Limited Edition digipak containing a hidden bonus track.

For some Front Line Assembly fans, Implode marked a downturn in the band's musical creativity and energy. Epitaph may sound like the title of an album that completed this descent. Instead, Epitaph marks a return to former strength for the classic electro-industrial act. All the contemporary Front Line Assembly trademarks are here: guitar bites, Leeb's vocoded apocalyptic wisdoms, and solid electronic architectures that do not pander to dancefloors, but are still packed with a relentless energy. This is a strong release, reminiscent of Hard Wired or the best moments of Flavour of the Weak. Front Line Assembly still has a well-established sound (despite Rhys Fulber's departure and Peterson's arrival prior to Flavour of the Weak), but Epitaph shows that a well-re-established sound does not mean the sound cannot evolve. Beats have grown more complex, often breaking. A few tracks, such as the title track, "Epitaph," or the epic "Existence," have taken on more ethereal qualities. Some tracks, such as "Dead Planet," are classic Front Line Assembly hard electro on a pounding beat. This release is the work Front Line Assembly is known for, without being just another Front Line Assembly album. No Front Line Assembly collection would be complete without Epitaph. The new duo has proved that they still wield the power of one of the longest-lived electro styles to great effect. ~ Theo Kavadias

Average Rating: (3.4 out of 5 stars) 3.5 stars

2 stars Disappointed
I a thorougly disappointed with this CD. There are only three tracks worth paying any attention to. The first and the last two. Overall a very dismal performance. I wouldn't consider buying any more CDs by this group.

Epitaph is somewhat more subdued than the band's current releases, but it is not a bad thing. I enjoyed the album, and I cannot wait for the tour.

3 stars Epitaph is Superior
The decision that I have manifested took a considerable amount of time to finalize. I'm someone whom might normally listen to Metal of any sort. Usually the reason many industrial groups fall short of their full potential would have to be dynamics! They fail in creating songs with considerable change within the song itself. Mostly the result is a stale song with about a fragment of the song actually being worth listening to, although Front Line Assembly manages to rise above the competition and make music with personality. Although I have concluded that, no CD has reached the perfection as Epitaph. Almost every song has something to offer. I find that FLAvour of the Weak was nowhere close in comparison. As for Implode, it seems some songs fell short of their potential. Previous CDs, other than Tactical Neural Implant, seemed to have established a base musical rhythm but failed in creating a sense of dynamics. I must conclude that Epitaph is superior to this date regarding FLA.

5 stars I love it
anyone who says 'I wouldnt buy any more cds by this group' doesnt even know the stuff and shouldnt be writing reviews about it.... k now that thats cleared up Im a huge FLA fan. i also listen to a ton of industrial musik of all sorts as well as some metal sh1t also. I am not lying when i say that every song on epitaph is unique and every song has something that makes it worth listening to. for example the bassline that appears on dead planet is IMO the best ever created. the production quality is great. The lyrics are creative and get stuck in your head in a good way, as does the musik itself which is always dark and sometimes amazingly beautiful......ive read reviews that say this album is too much like delerium but it is so FLA its not even funny...distorted yet still clear vocals, angry most of the time :D and the pounding beats which are more addictive than crack make this album very true to FLA's pure industrial flavour. so what? why the hell wud u want to buy this? Its dark, its angry, its beautiful, it gets stuck in your head, any fan of electronic industrial musik does NOT want to miss out on this one. yea its just my opinion, but its an honest one. i fu

3 stars Not quite the S.h.i.t.
This album fails to deliver the knockout blow that it was required to do, still this is a good album to a degree! the first 2 tracks are very strong and moody! but then it falls a little and the music sounds like it was created just for the sake of it! untill about track 6 & 7 where it picks up again in interesting content, and then proceeds to the end with a few moments of some really cool stuff, 99's "Implode" was of excellent quality, and i was attracted to it's sound immediatley, this album i feel is one that will grow on you over time! as i am sure it will do with me! I still think it has some good potential, but not worthy of 4 stars sorry.

Much like labelmate and fellow EBM luminary Apoptygma Berzerk, VNV Nation has gradually shed its gloomy industrial dance sounds for pulses of lush synth that frequently border on trance. There are some instrumental tracks on Futureperfect, but vocals are still a key component for the duo. Ronan Harris sings faithfully about the human spirit on such dynamic cuts as "Genesis" and "Epicentre." There are some surprisingly slow moments on the band's fourth album that will have dance aficionados wondering where the sure-fire beats have gone. "Holding On" is nearly a ballad and may take some getting used to for longtime fans. On the other end of the spectrum, "Structure" retains glimpses of industrial with several bursts of machinery noise. Though Futureperfect doesn't hit you with the same ...

Front Line Assembly Civilization CD  (2004)

Epitaph album
CD $12.95  3.8 stars Audio Samples
Front Line Assembly's last album, Epitaph, received decent reviews in the press, but it split the fan base. Some felt it was merely the continued development of the band, some felt it was limp and incorporated too much of Delirium's sound (the band's successful off-shoot). With original member Rhys Fulber coming back to the group, the stage is set for a return to form. Civilization returns to the band's classic sound here and there, but it just as often turns to Delirium-style ambiance and neo-classicism. After making a grand entrance with two tracks of gritty industrial-dance, Civilization switches to the rather dreamy "Transmitter," a track with vocoders, violins, and angel's voices. It's what fans like to call "Delirium Line Assembly", but that's over-judging and ignoring the band's maturation. Few other bands in the electro-industrial world have the talent to convincingly bounce between the sweet and gritty like Front Line Assembly do, but it does take a while for the listener to adjust to the roller coaster of tempos and emotions on the album. But is it worth it? Considering the lack of serious competition, and that "Fragmented," "Transmitter," and the title track are fantastic, it just might be. Fulber has been gone for a while, and Civilization could be the result of ...

Mohd Rafi Rough Guide To Bollywood Legends: Mohd. Rafi CD  (2004)

Epitaph songs
CD $13.15  Audio Samples
Continuing its run through the great stars of Bollywood's playback singing, the Rough Guide (and primarily compiler Ken Hunt) have moved to the third of the Big Four (Rafi, Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhosle, and Kishore Kumar) of the genre with an album of Mohammed Rafi's work. Here, he dips and croons his way through a number of classic performances from the films that his voice graced. The album opens with a number taking freely from the blaxploitation aesthetic, before moving into an early duet with Lata Mangeshkar, prior to their temporary falling-out. A simple happy song passes quickly, followed by a somewhat sparser work (sparse being a relative term in Bollywood orchestration) featuring Rafi's vocals more centrally, and a pair of duets with Asha Bhosle (Lata's sister). Another duet with Lata, post-falling-out, continues the stretch of multiple voices, and a couple of solo pieces showcase the essence of Rafi's vocal delivery exquisitely. The rest of ...

Amp Us CD  (2004) Import

Epitaph music CDs
CD $18.59  Audio Samples
Returning after an extended hiatus, the British duo Amp (singer Karine Charff and multi-instrumentalist Richard Walker) offer the uncharacteristically band-oriented, almost poppy Us. With Walker joined by three regular collaborators (longtime Julian Cope sideman Donald Ross Skinner on guitar and bass, Ray Dickaty on saxophone, and Marc Challans on guitar, bass, drums, and occasional songwriting) and largely sticking to concise pop song structures, this is by some distance Amp's most conventional album, with only the last two tracks "Endgame" and "Iconisis" delving into the space rock bliss-outs of prior albums like Astralmoonbeamprojections. Only Walker's trademark fondness for the slow layering of musical elements from near-total silence into crazed cacophony (check out the last few minutes of "Yousay" for a particularly fine example) marks this as an Amp album. Challans' beat-heavy electronics tend to overpower Walker, and the placement of Charff at the forefront instead of her usual place lurking near the back of the mix only amplifies ...
