RUN LEVEL ZERO
AND THUS WE WALKED
ALBUM MEMENTO MATERIA RELEASE: NOVEMBER 11, 2004 REVIEW: JANUARY 3, 2005

This remix EP by Swedes Run Level Zero contains hard danceable EBM, and I've heard the style before. But “And Thus We Walked” still manages to keep my interest. The ingredients are some new tracks and some remixes by amongst others Interlace and Rotersand, and it all tastes pretty good. The mixes are varied, and it seems like some time has actually been spent doing them. My favourite is the X-Fusion mix of “Under the Gun”, with its piston beat, precise bass and Leaether Strippy chorus. Should be a big hit! The Interlace mix of “CNN of Worms” is heavy as can be, and features a nifty cut-up vocal treatment.
The new songs are also worth the price of admission, and “Generic Warmth” could be a floor filler in its own right.
