How Hate Dept. managed to land themselves a deal on a major label like Restless
boggles the mind. Nevertheless, this seven song single exhibits that the
malice laden Siebold and his Southern California quartet have the talent
to break through into the mainstream. The four different remixes of 'Release
It' along with the album version are all very club-friendly. Each of the four
respective acts, Empirion, DJ Amanda Jones, Hyperkinetik and Family Thing offer
unique versions of the title track without straying far from the original
masterpiece. Of the two B-sides 'Heaven Trails' is a straight forward guitar
rhythmed track full of aggression while 'Technical Difficulties' use
of a vocoder and a minimalistic and mellow bass line and arrangement. Overall,
"Release It" is a crisply produced single that servers to wet my appetite for a
new album due out in early 1999.
