This Double-CD presents itself as comprising all contemporary facets of electronic music and is the outcome of a remix contest brought to life by De/Vision. An armada of prestigious and talented international acts contributed their own personal musical background essentially turning this album into a new, autonomous piece of work. This edition has kept the chronological structure of the 10 track album and offers two different versions of the original album. The kick off to the remix edition is supplied by De/Vision' long-time companions T.O.Y. and their elegantly groovy interpretation of “mAndroids.“ Whiz-kid Daniel Myer (Haujobb, Architect, Clear Vision, HMB) puzzled over “Plastic Heart“ with his patented intricate rhythms and extraordinary Sound scapes. The album also features Richard Silverthorn of Mesh who loves it technoid and trance-like in his Tantrum Mix of the single “Rage“ and the Raytracer Mix of “What’s Love all About“ highlights the haunting qualities of this beautiful love song.

Amygdala is the latest album of the Swedish industrial legend. After listening to this album, one finds it difficult to decide whether it is a masterpiece of hypnotic music, the hallucinations of delirium tremens or perhaps the sign announcing the approaching apocalypse? Magnificent, gloomy and profound tracks create the atmosphere reminding the last days of the last member of the royal family or the celebration of the collapse of its era by a majestic empire. But that is only the general mood of the album. The tracks are very different from each other. Some of them frightful, some majestic, while the rest are calm and deep like dreams. And yet the subject matter of all lyrics is in one or another way related to death and the secret lurking behind it. Indeed a very colourful kaleidoscope of psychedelic visions.

Digital Factor³ take off with "Trialog“ to their third creative period and underline – easygoing and relaxed – that it is possible to stay innovative and authentic at the same time after being nearly 20 years in the music business. "Trialog“ easily covers the entire range and history of Electro from it’s origins till today and simultanuously creates a solid piece of art. Floorfillers smash martially from the speakers and spot out for names like Nitzer Ebb or Skinny Puppy. Atmospheric interludes create reminiscence to Industrial/Ambient godfathers like SPK or Lustmord. And over again, relaxed and enchanting rhythms á la Cabaret Voltaire can be tasted.
