"with ATR being known pretty much known worldwide (except the u.s.), they like other bands have had a bunch of different versions of songs appear in places where you wouldn't think of looking. so, here comes "redefine the enemy!" to the rescue. presenting with what could be a handful of god knows how many different versions there are, this is truly great stuff.



just about every track here is a remix except for the first two which serves as a nice sampler what ATR sounding like live for those of us weren't lucky enough to attend a show when they toured the u.s. there are 2 a cappella versions which is very different considering that what makes ATR amazing is the beat that supplies the lyrics, but to hear it minus beats, it still holds up very well ("waves of disaster"). then there are the instrumentals which remove the lyrical style we know all love and its like listening to a brand new song.



the cd itself comes in this beautiful silver metal case that truly is unique among the usual cases you see at a record store. the package compliments the disc perfectly as a standout edition to your collection. there is a sorta mini poster on the inside which contains photos of the band both live and promo shots, along with tiny snippets of newspaper articles that remind us that ATR was/is a band that took no prisoners and remained true to their beliefs.



this is pretty much for those who love ATR as those who have never heard of them, might not get what makes this so special...unless you're adventerous and love to take a chance and buy something you've never heard of. either way, this is a fantastic collection of b-sides & rarities.



i'd tell you about the tracks...

but nah, you gotta do that yourself...

where would be the fun in me telling you?"

"A lovely combination of Skater Punk and Electroncia: Digital Hardcore. And the masters are of course, Atari Teenage Riot. The music is very Jungle and some Breakbeats...and gobs of D@B and street politics. Not for Happy 2B Hardcore candy-kids or for lovers of "Mainstream" electroncia.... It's more for fans of Punk Rock and Death Metal if anything. Also, a good starter cd, since it's more or less their "greatest hits" remixed or recorded live.b b"

Start the riot!.....again!

"This ATR comp. is a must have for any ATR fan. It comes in a distinct metal tin with a mini picture-poster which feature rare pictures of the band. The tracks are pretty decent. They are mostly all remixes and acapella versions of ATR songs. The first two tracks are live versions and there are a few of the original versions of certain songs. My only complaint is that there aren't many pictures of the band, but otherwise it's a great album."
