Once again Front Line Assembly throws some of it's best material as B-sides to
a single with the release of "Columbia Neck Tie". Tracks like 'Deadlock' and
'Electrocution', while formulaic compared to some FLA material, are nothing
short of spectacular instrumental pieces. Perhaps this predictable, yet still
thoroughally enjoyable, club appeal is what draws fans to FLA over and over
again. The addition of often unused musical elements, such as breakbeats and
other percussion elements usually relegated to Techno, also increase the appeal
of these tracks. Yet one wonders why the band continues to release such stellar
material as mere B-sides when they surely match-up and often surpass the album
material. Of course we cannot forget the obligatory remixes of the title track
of which the first is only a radio edit and the second is a supposed Goa remix
by Tim Schuldt. Of the two, the second is certainly the better version simply
due to the inclusion of new sample and musical material as well as a fresh new
look at the track itself. Needless to say, "Columbian Necktie", is yet another
FLA single that is a must have for both first time fans and collectors
alike.
