Try, but you just can't copy a good Meat Beat...

"First of all, it is always a tremendous experience when a MBM album comes out. To finally find a remix dedicated to one of my all time favorite albums...I was lucky and picked this one up about a month before it came out. As with all Meat Beat albums, I listened over and over and the main feeling I was getting is still that the original Storm the Studio smacks the hell out of most of this new generation of tracks...Not saying this was a bad album; the MBM/DHS track is excellent, the Opus, Eight Frozen Modules, Merzbow, and Norscq tracks were excellent, the Dj Spooky track was alright... I understand that these are new interpretations, but it seemed like some of the other tracks didn't seem to gel or flow with the Storm the Studio idea. I just want to say that the original Storm the Studio and Meat Beat in general have never ceased to innovate as well as inspire, and STS R.M.X.S. as an attempt simply reinforces the eccentricity and uniqueness of the original."

"This compilation really surprised me. I knew it would be good, but I did not know how eclectic it would be. Genres from goth-industrial to noise to dub and more are represented. I would say that 3-4 tracks really stand out above the rest and I find myself flipping around my cd until I hit these tracks. Remixing "Storm The Studio", one of the greatest industrial albums ever, is a tall order-- I have to admire the courage of these artists as a group, and the great proficiency of several of them."
